Thanks to the guys that lent me cable ties, it nearly got me home :dry:

Better him doing it there rather than being told no only for him to go round the corner and do it anyway but on public roads.

found it amusing that the last one on for skids was one of theses

Mr. Cassbo looks like our next budding photographer! Some great shots on his FB page. Good reason to get on his friends list.

Thanks Matt!

Thanks Eric! Love getting positive feedback :woot:

Unfortunately I plan on being on the smoky side of the camera for next Texi so quality and quantity may suffer. Don't use this as an excuse to sabotage my car though :P

I'll be dumping high(er) res photos onto Flickr tonight for all those who are still without Facebook ;)

^^^Exactly. He was quite polite about having a quick go too and came up to say thanks afterwards

Yeah no drama with it.

Just mad I missed out on getting the really smoky pics.:

^ That's super cool, I can see myself just to the right of Aggro's car

I've got the time sheets. Might just scan them and post rather than hand typing them in (royal PITA).

Heh that's kind of why I re-wrote my timesheet out neater during the lunch break ;)

    • 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.
