All cars are like that not sure why but never seen a car that doesn't have one wheel in more than the other

Ive heard its due to the diff being slightly offcentre or the subframe it self being slightly offcentre.

Car manufacturers never expected owners to be running wheels so close to the guards that you can tell the difference haha

I don't understand how any of this makes sence, the allignment tools have Indipendang levels in them. If its out, it's out.. Unless there is some auto correction when you put the specific car in..

But birds what you said doesn't make sence because how are they going to compensate for fat dream boats like me?

I think what Alex and I are talking about is the offset of the wheels to guards. Majority of the time, one wheel will sit out more than the other side. The camber setting would probably be the same on both sides hence why one side would look slightly different in reference to the guard/body etc

i dont know, its friday.

Well when I got my car alligned at Centreline...and mind you I have adjustable poly bushes on just about the whole frikken car...they corner weighted it and alligned it so that with an ~80kg driver, there is a near 50/50 side to side weight distribution and the camber sits about the same on both sides. Sucks when you have a passenger and can tell the difference though...

This and what birds said I think the thing is off centre so even though the camber is the same the actual wheel position is out a little bit on one side even although the camber settings are the same.

Shitted me with the 33, but no two guards are rolled perfectly the same either which probably doesn't help

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
