(ANDRA Head Office)

Earlier today, thieves struck Adelaide based Pro Stock Motorcycle team owner Trevor Birrell, stealing his Toyota Hi-Ace van from a Henley Beach driveway. Inside the van was the team’s Dale Gilbert chassied Suzuki, complete except for upper body panels.

The bike retained its white front mudguard over the BST carbon-fibre front wheel and ICE forks. The rear wheel is a black Kosman spun rim with a brand new Mickey Thompson slick fitted. The V300 Racepak logger and MSD4 ignition were also in place.

The Toyota van is white with alloy wheels except for the front right, which is the steel spare. The registration number is VTD 107.

Anyone sighting the van or the race bike is asked to contact the South Australian police or ANDRA immediately

I hate, hate thieves that steal bikes.

I'll keep my eyes open for it around the "backyards". When I'm out riding I'll keep my ears open for talk of a drag bike from any of the groups.

Unless they know where to sell to. Drag racing for bikes was really taking off in an overseas country a few short years ago (won't say what country, don't want to give the thieves any ideas on where). When I parted my drag bike, alot of the parts went OS.

But, yeah, very unique bike. I'll be keep my eyes peeled. :sweat:

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
