Looks like you guys had a great day out!

Gutted I missed it. Got to my car this morning and the drivers window was forced down with the ignition barrel stripped. The assholes caused a few other headaches with my car so I didn't manage to fix everything up till early afternoon :verymad:

Yep great day, thanks to the those who put their hand up and organised it.

After Arthur's Seat (and an interesting encounter with a G Class Merch) I headed back through Red Hill and stopped in at the brewery for a cool beverage and then moved to the cider house via an interesting dirt road. Perfect Saturday :yes:

Please do tell!

Dude stopped dead in the middle of the road about 10 car lengths up the road (probably 1/2 way up the seat) and signalled he wanted me to pass him, right at the entry to a left hand corner as well. So I couldn't see anything.

Once I got up to the car being double lines I just shook my head, he then stuck he's head out the window, said FU a couple of times, then sped off....

He was pretty red in the face, I'm going to say he had a long lunch in Rye before hand and maybe a bottle of red to wash it down with.

They also don't release what double lines mean, I think in a G wagon the double lines are optional. As the next tight right hander it was well over into the land sprinting into the distance.

      I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low

      In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.

      Thanks for the info. Didn’t know I had aftermarket control arms already? Will talk to my garage. What brand would u recommend if I want to play around with my camber more? I would think my camber is around stock level right now or more negative now due to lowering with coilovers. I will be lower her again 1.5 cm to get some more.    also why does everyone like to remove the hicas system? Is it because most don’t work properly anymore or ppl just don’t like them. Mine is functioning as it should be right now.    thanks for the good info

      It looks like you've got Ikeya control arms and an aftermarket sway bar, maybe whiteline?  Or am I just going crazy? lol Unfortunately it won't, but what it will do is look really pretty. That's about all unfortunately.  How much neg camber do you currently have? Generally lowing the car dials in quite a bit of neg camber as it is. If you do go down this path, your best bet is get adjustable arms, toe arms (or preferably a good HICAS elimination kit) and traction rods. With all 3 being adjustable, you'll be able to dial out any bump steer that is introduced by playing with the camber settings.
