Boosty - where theres a will theres a way :)

haha yeah it was funny when i lived outta home ...... the ex thought my parents had too much control over me .... my parents thought the ex had too much control over me and there was this constant tug of war for my attention .... it was pretty stressful at the time but now i look at it - it was kinda funny. ;)

U sound like quite the commodity there Niz.

I still live with my parents and while it does drive me crazy at times, its all good. When i get mom and dad asking me questions and moving my stuff i kinda get close to losing it. I think all ppl our age that live at home do.

Parents went away for near on 2 months a while back and left me and my big bro who doesnt know even how to work the washing machine and my little sister who is not too bad but a bit of a slob to fend for ourselves.

I loved it, couldnt get enough. The regime of Shaun had begun. Eat what i felt like (i cooked the meals) kept the house spotless and basically did as i liked.

After they got back i alomost had a breakdown but now its back to normal and ive come to accept the norm.

Basically id move out but its too much fun having no responsibilites.:uh-huh:

Well actually moving back in with mine wasnt so bad - cos they appreciated me more - and they werent there half the time anyway (in bunbury) and so it was just me and a mate of mine had the house - so it was basically like still living on my own ..... and when they did occasionally come back to High Wycombe they appreciated me a lot more since id been away and were absolute honeys about giving me my own space etc ..... but now its gone backward quite a bit.

Im hoping this summer they migrate down to Bunbury for most of the summer again and then i maybe tempted to stay.

Boosty - i cope pretty well without my folks ..... my mums always worked so from an early age i was taught to do my own washing and make my own meals etc.

Yeh my mom used to work so ive pretty much done everything for myself. She hasnt worked in a while now but the habit still stuck around.

I guess the old "if u want a job done right do it ureself" theory applies here. My bro is hilarious, he would rather eat 3 serving of noodles a day than make something else. Complete nut job me thinks.

i like making my own meals - i get in a cooking mood ..... unfortunately my mum never had the time to teach me to use anything other than the microwave ........ so cooking was a lot of trial n error haha.

Paul - yeah - still cant believe that we havent had a family Xmas in three years ;) !!

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      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.
