111c wow thats not good at all :S hope you didn't cook anything mate

Drives fine still, averaged 10.8l/1000 from the first tank which included going through some twisty hills

The yellow colour I bought was absynth yellow, not a prefect match but better then what it was (use white primer underneath too, yellow doesn't cover other colours well)

We'll see how it goes today, is gonna be a heap colter today, and less hills now too

looks good!

Now go get a trans oil cooler to shove somewhere in there!

awww fk...I knew I forgot something...putting that bar on was a bitch and now I gotta do it again!!! GARRR

Booked in to get my EMU installed/tuned in early march...I take it I need a trans cooler before then? :mellow:

Re rims...LOL i've ordered like 3 sets of rims from JP totalling 4k...1 x R34 GTR rims, 1 x XT7 (18 x 9.5 +30), 1 x LE37 (18 x 9.5 +12), and I'm eyeing some Advan TC2's...

*sigh* maybe I should just buy your ARX rims and spend the rest of the $$$ on more power mods :ph34r:

copycat :P

LOL, yeah, well it only made sense since the car had the skirts and rear bar already...

Was tempted to put Kyle's Gialla bar on (think 360 modena!!!) but it looked a little too much...and I was sure I would scratch that bar to buggery in a week!

Would end up looking like the blue car :O:

I was going for the AVS7 look below...but somehow got sidetracked :P

Actually, is the red one below - is that Kenstyle or Impul? I like it...

Hi Tom. I saw you on the highway on Sunday, just north of Ballina. That yellow really stands out on the road. I wasn't in the Stagea so you wouldn't have seen me. have a safe trip.

Yep he kinda talked me into it LOL. Nah I told him I'm happy for whatever the stock turbo can max out at 14 psi and my existing mods. Aiming for the 200 mark for now. When the turbo dies then we'll look at a higher number :devil:

Cihan says:

I would say installing the EMU is going to make a big difference in torque and power output regardless of the turbocharger installed, you may be able to enjoy the engine as it is for a long time before you have any need to upgrade the turbo. In my opinion the EMU is a great investment at any stage in the tuning process, so i wouldn't hold back if that's what you want.

So I said aaaah why not...no point waiting and waiting...that EMU has been sitting in the car for a couple of months now!

Oh and the rims...figure I'd try em and see which one I like best/fits best. For the price I got em for I'd be suprised if I don't make a profit selling the unwanted sets.

I doubt you will see 200 without bumping the boost up which will blow the turbo, and you will be limited to 200 anyway by the intake. Still it feels good at that level.

Are you getting injectors?

You will need a valve body upgrade for the auto before the tune.

      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.
