Yep, usually is a good weeked, must say it was for me, 2 new records in R33 and second outright for the weekend, not a bad effort against a Lola, March, Pilbean, Cheetah, Trojan etc.

R33 Supersprint 43.54 1st Type SV R32 51.60 9th

R33 Mountain Straight Hillclimb 46.29 1st - Type SV R32 53.88 7th

Karen had a great weekend in the 32, after her having a rest for nearly 3 years, finishing 13th outright of 80 over the two days, with 20 or more in our class both days.

I had a go in the R32 in the supersprint last run - Mark was going to kick my ass - but I got a time of 46.66 I think thats faster than 49.98 LOL!

Watch out for vids next day or so.

yeah it was a good weekend. It was awsome to see your new car in the flesh now its sorted. The part i liked was siting waiting to go and watching you and karen running together and to realy spot how much quicker the r33 is to the r32. How close did you get to the wall in the hillclimb. sumone said that you took the witches hat out but missed the wall.

Must say was close and yes witches hat did go, check out Motorsport>club level motorsport>incar videos>bathurst Hillclimb and Supersprint

Karen hadnt driven the car for nearly 3 years and santa bought her new soft Yoki's, she had trouble getting off the line - but it was cheaper than smoking the dunlops like she used too!

With a good start until 3rd gear and braking area to be honest there is bugger all difference. Must say the Air Con is great in 32, beats electric windows in the 33.

Enjoy vid's

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      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.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
