question. Probably showing my noobness at cars now but what are the benefits of having the front set to medium to high over soft?? i mean it causes under steer the tighter you go, so why would you want it.

It is all a balancing act.. It is about finding the right setting to suit all the other variables on your car to achieve the best balance to your driving style.

Tyres, suspension and throttle input all have an influence on how your car will feel and a set up you like, if I hoped in to drive, I may not.

The stiffer front is all about finding a balance point for the car.

Hi,

can you contact us direct here Email me as we can reply faster.

It is true stiffening the front will make more understeer and may not turn in as well but should not affect steering return or get stuck anywhere.

We have not in any past sales heard anything like this but if you contact us direct we will endevour to solve any issues you are experiences.

Hi Guys thanks for the replies

Did you upgrade link ends?

i didnt upgrade the link ends as of yet, could this be the reason for getting stuck do tou think.

i will change the settings on the front to a softer setting sometime this weekend and see how that goes, if that doesnt work ill send you an email and see if we can work something out.

thanks,

Ben

hey guys,

so today i switched the front to the softer setting, i noticed that one of the stopper rubbers that goes on the actual swaybar was missing and was allowing the swaybar to slide about an inch causing the steering to get stuck to one side. i put a new rubber on it with a hose clamp around it and i noticed a very big

difference in the handling of my car and it also doesnt get stuck anymore.

thanks for the help,

Ben

I'm glad you found the issue.

That's a "Lateral Lock" by the sound of things.

Did you speak to Whiteline at all? I recommend you get in touch with him. If it was missing; I'm sure he'll help get it sorted for you.:thumbsup:

Cheers, Dale.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
