i did think in advance when i arranged it cause i said to him ill call friday afternoon to let u know if my parts arrived or not

so u know if im still going to come on monday and that was fine. but thats not the point the point was i had no way of knowing

what was going on cause they dont reply to messages often and auspost was a shit fight and sliding has no number to ring them on

which is a real pain in the ass.

so you arranged to call him friday afternoon, but didnt have his number... and then before friday decided to post this bullsh1t thread in the wrong section before you even checked your mail from the day it was supposed to arrive

hopefully you bought those injectors for wank factor because with this kind of intellegence ill be supprised if you don't kill yourself with a decent powered rb25

Never rely on a supplier no matter what they promise rule f**king 101!

If your tight for time then allow an estimated delay. Slide were way off on the eta of delivery to me i was in the same boat but i allowed a few days error on there behalf and it worked out fine. I did start to panic though.

sorry for any inconvenience to sliding performance

A bit late for that.

Late or not, this thread is just wrong and quite frankly I'm f**kin appalled that moderators haven't closed this down considering it has just become a Slide bash fest and also considering he is a trader on here.

Ok, here is what you do.

Go to the calendar. Look at what day it is.

IT'S THURSDAY, CLOWN!

And as for Auspost, I've sent shit to Cairns before and it hasn't arrived for two weeks. Besides, I thought I read in your other panic thread that they sent the via Fast track or whatever. Not Auspost.

Yep....

And my parts got here fine :)

oh and I agree...

Thread should be closed and moved to the BIN!!!!!!!!!

Yeah well if slide didn't f**k people around so much this thread wouldn't be here :)

So how did Slide f**k this guy around?

He paid on Friday which meant it wouldn't have cleared in their account til at least Monday, parts were sent Tuesday and arrived interstate on Thursday.

Sounds pretty good to me.

I understand there are unhappy customers but it's no excuse to take out the trash.

as posted by Elite Racing care to explain how slide f**ked around with this guy???

i bought a clutch from slide money transferred Thursday, cash was cleared Monday goods arrived Thursday. couldn't be happier of the service.

posting a thread about "my parts have not arrived yet so im gonna have a cry to the world" just cause either you havent heard from the seller or the estimated time was longer then you were told will not solve the problem. if your not happy with a sellers service have a chat to a mod as im pretty sure they will be able to help you out better then just having a fat cry on the forums in the WRONG SECTION.

hopefully you bought those injectors for wank factor because with this kind of intellegence ill be supprised if you don't kill yourself with a decent powered rb25

lack of comunication ide have to say. and as i stated he gave me a item number for auspost and auspost didnt have it in there system which made me think wtf is going on here.

but neways im over it i will never buy from a place that has no telephone number again and a place i cant go down the road and say whats going on.

its just to much of a worry. just delete this post "yes" its turned into a slide bash fest but many people have had problems with there items and are just stating

what has happened to them in the past. hopefully slide reads this is realises they need more communication with the customers as many ppl have said they

pm and no replies untill days - weeks later.

This right here, is a ridiculous thread.

Let me clarify up front, I have never purchased from Slide, so I am in no way biased, but seriously, your order hasn't arrived within a mere 48 hours after it is supposedly sent and you immediately believe you have been ripped off and create this thread to cry wolf? Give them a break and wake up to reality. I personally demand a high standard of service with the businesses I deal with however at the same time I understand that they ARE a business, fielding in some cases huge numbers of enquiries daily and despite best efforts its often just not possible to get back to everyone as quickly as they would like.

Had it been 2 weeks with no response and no parts, perhaps I could have understood you being so concerned, but after 2 days, you have not only jumped the gun, but you have made yourself out to look like the fool after your parts arrived on time, and yet you leave behind a thread sledging Sliding Performance, hardly fair.

Furthermore, as others have said, Australia Post are worthless at the best of times and just because they have not entered a registered post item number into their system within a reasonable time, that in no way reflects on Slide. Hell I order parts for my cars from Japan every other week and I could bitch the same way about EMS, I have tried to track EMS parcels and had them arrive on my doorstep before the tracking information has even appeared in the system.

Bottom line, be patient and next time, approach such a situation in a more appropriate way.

      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

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      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.
