I am not game to even think about raising the idea of buying another car with my wife because I already have 9 cars in my driveway and garages.

These include R33 GTR, two R33 GTS-T's, R32 GTS25, Mazda SP20, Mazda 626, Toyoto Duel Cab Hilux 4X4, Suzuki 4X4 and a vintage Peugoet.

I think that I have just about got all of the bases covered and apart from owning shares in the RTA and Insurance companies my challenge is to hang on to what I have and to find the time to enjoy each of them.

there is a 06 V8 vantage i took on a test drive today at Italia Motori, doesn't have the punch i was expecting from it, then took the damelian r35 and a 360 f1 for a spin, r35 and modena are much better cars for similar price.... now deciding on the r35 vs modena, R35 is a much better car in almost every aspect except a black fresh modena looks better in my opinion, it'll keep its value much much better, the sound is pure sex (not that the r35 sounds bad, but ferrari sounds sweeter) also its only going to be a weekend car so to keep an r35 restricted with limmited usage would be a waste, so i'm leaning towards a nice black modena with tan interior...

oh also took a lotus for a spin, that is by far the BEST car ever invented, but not what i'm looking for

Thread is called "My next car" i'm just adding what my next car options are, theres more to life than cars.... actually no there isn't, cars are supreme....

Either way I'll seriously be thinking of bringing something special to July texi, i have a feeling my skyline's turbo will shit itself at this texi with the summer temps and the fact its been running 10-12 psi for the last year and a half as a daily, so if i'm going home on the back of a trailer you can have your revenge then lol

I was thinking 4.7 litre Vantage not the 4.3, or the V12, and I was also thinking 355, more classic ferrari not "Aero" ferrari

      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.
