;) some coloured people tryed to steel my car tuesday morning and the bastard still has my keys and my wallet, there was 3 of them and they came in my house grabbed my shit and then unarmed my car, and that woke me up and then my room mate came in and said someone is trying to steel our cars....so i ran out the front with a cricket bat and bailed one up (later got done by the police for 37 burgularies and 12 car steelings) and they other 2 did a runner with my stuff...

im just greatfull they didnt get away with my pride and joy.... it was on the front page of the mandurah mail thursday...

now the slow process of changing my alarm and all my keys and locks and all my cards and my licence and all that stuff... :( its hard to prove your name is Fane without a licence :mad:

my shit week:

- someone tryed to steel my car

- got tonnsilitus

- room mates alarm went off next morning (i came out again early in the morning with cricket bat!!!) :)

- still got tonnsiltus

- went to get skin checked for skin cancer and they went to me with a big knife and cut half the skin on my back off :(

lets see how friday goes, sighhh.....

good news though is i know things could be allot worse.....

Yeah i'm always cautious about my skyline but i have to park at Claremont traino alot to get to school and work and it worries the hell outta me.

Std type: £76.49 / Long type: £87.34

almost $200 for a set of lock nuts damn these better not be as easy to get off as what everyone is saying.

raasclaat- where i was livin at the time there was a path at each end of the street lots of walk/ride thru trafic an i rode my pushy ta work so the car was home alone quite a bit so i think it was someone who went past a few times durring the day and realised there wasnt anyone there much jus unlucky that day ( or luck the ex left when she did if they really wanted the car) hell i got it back an it still goes fine so it came out best it really could ( considering the who gives a ____ attitude of the cops that attended 3hrs!!! later)

    • 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.
