I think he may have meant adjustable camber tops? Which wishbone suspension does not use... more of a McPherson thing.

brain fart FTW... i have a car with pretty much the same front end as his, with adjustable bushes :)

adjustable arms supposedly increase NVH(Noise Vibration Harshness), so adjustable whiteline bushes work well in that aspect, and i am happy with the adjustment i got from mine.

i like my cars with as much positive castor as i can run... and not much neg camber either end.

lol, firstly, adjustable arms DO NOT increase NVH, not the adjustability at least, it's only when the arms use rose joints on the ends, as u basically removing a flexible bush, its now metal on metal. the adjustability comes usually from a turnbuckle where a solid arm would usually be. you can buy adjustable arms with with urethane bushes, so they are exactly the same as adjustable bushes as far as NVH goes.

whiteline themselves make adjustable arms, after starting with adjustable bushes (f**king useless) i know exactly how much better adjustable arms are. also as a side note, whiteline bushes are shit lol. i run their arms, but the bushes are shit, mine cracked and split with less than a few weeks on them lol

2ndly, less castor, why? i can only think of 1 reason, u have bitch arms and cant handle the weight of ur steering :D

mmm, my bushes are fine, might try these arms you speak of when they wear out...

i said lots of castor, not less... my old non-power steering dattos wheels used to hit the front guards at times :P

I just put some HKS Hipermax III on my 33.

The seem pretty good; smooth but solid.

Night and day difference compared to the stock springs and dampers.

I guess they are 'medium-expensive' in the scheme of things?

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
