Just wondering if having too much camber can make the tyres wall collapse or deteriorate,

i have some tyres on the front and they are terribly noisey, wondering if its because they were cheapish or wether an expensive/higher quality tyre would be affected by camber, i know they will wear out on the inside, im taking about noise levels due to the structure of the tyres and it being cambered in , not sure how many degrees i have on the front but its clearly more than the stock rear camber...

There's no way you can run enough camber on the street to damage the sidewall before you wear all the tread off the inside edge.

Caveat. Answer does not take into account cheap as shit tyres, as they should not be used, and therefore I have no experience of them. :P

i was thinking if its riding on the inside edge all the time, its copping the brunt of the work which is not really how they were designed to be on a wheel,

but anyway, must just be some shit tyres then , looks like the actual tread is up and down bit, looks a bit strange....

time to save for somthing decent then. :closedeyes: do many people rotate tyres front to back or do they put the sticky $$$ tyres on the back and have cheaper tyres on front?

Always have good tyres all the way around. I use the same. Anyone who puts cheapies on the back is not really thinking about it properly. New ones go on the front, then halfway through their life they go to the back and new new one on the front again. Deals with the slightly faster inside edge wear on the fronts and compensates by spinning them up on the rear a bit more often.

With na power I'm all for cheapies on the rear and half decent on the front. Still can't really break traction so it's not an issue

Easy to spin the wheels with an NA. Surprisingly though still got more grip out of near bald Pirellis than I did from fairly meaty Kumho's

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
