thanks!

i hate myself for pimping EB. deadspace2 and gt5 + 320gb ps3 for 600, make sure you get a hdmi cable (any brand, can be cheap, they still work)

there's one at jbhifi

guaranteed you'll throw out FF13 cause it's poo and ashes... if you're into cricket...? if not, meh. they have a cable with it but they're a negligible cost.

You won't find PS3's cheep, no one discounts them - unless your buying 2nd hand. Just look for the best package deal. I think I bought our 1st one with $2 off.. came with 2 games for like $479 and the 2nd one I bought with a 32 lcd bravia for 1100.

Not necessarily - if you can afford a decent HDMI cable, go for it. Regardless, make sure it's properly insulated, especially if you'll be running it next to power cables or if it's gotta stretch a long way.

I took my PS3 out with me a few weeks ago, and luckily brought 2 HDMI cables with me - the first one would barely work, and when it did produce a picture it had heaps of interference. Plugged in the second one, and problems solved!

    • 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.
