Im trying to track down the professional photos from this event, but here is my 03 legacy in the dirt.....

Torque is pretty average. BTSSM with a tablet is near perfect. Even better on the later cars as they removed k-line and went for CAN completely so polling is crazy fast. Can get 20-30 samples per second with mine so with a limited parameter set it'll be more than accurate enough. Haven't got any pics of how the screens currently setup but its essentially limited by what you actually want to see. Not sure on whether there's a nav panel that'll fit a tablet the way the 4th gens did though.

rolling shot......

found these... bare bones 86

I'm not sure what's worse... the wheels or the lack of profile on the tyres...

I did the rear swaybar on my somewhat lowered GDB without even jacking the car up. For a swaybar it only matters that the car is level, the height itself is not important as long as you can wriggle under the car.

I grabbed a few, just haven't had a chance to pull them off the camera yet, will see what I can do tonight.

If in any doubt at all. Always quality work and discounts for CS members.

But as GC8E2DD said, scissor jacks aren't as stable or strong as trolley jacks so best to lift one corner at a time. Rear left, then rear right. As long as it's on flat hard ground and you never put your body under the vehicle until it is sitting securely on axle stands (spare rims/blocks of wood). When jacking a car to work under it's always best to chock the wheels that are staying on the ground, even with the car in gear and the handbrake on. Chock the wheels with a big rock or lump of wood, something that will stop the ground wheels rolling if anything goes wrong. For example an all wheel drive car with open differentials in gear with the handbrake on and the rear wheels being lifted off the ground for a swaybar swap, if the jack fails or tips over the car can still roll forwards or backwards. Nothing wrong with using spare wheels as axle stands. As GC8E2DD said, jack the car up and slide the spare rims under the cars back wheels, then lower the car so it's sitting up on the rims. With both rear wheels level there is no tension on the swaybar and ARB links. Plus technically all suspension bushes and suspension links should always be tightened or torqued up with the vehicle suspension sitting at normal ride height. Not only for new part alignment and clearance checking, but for the suspension bushes to function as intended. A lot of suspension bushes these days are solid or made as one piece and do not have rotating parts. When the suspension articulates the rubbery section of the bush twists causing tension, then when the suspension goes back to normal ride height the bush goes back to neutral twist/neutral tension. Not so critical with ball joint type rotating sway bar links. But picture a rigid type ARB link (anti roll bar link) with fixed solid bushes top and bottom. If torqued up with the suspension at full droop and then the vehicle is lowered to normal ride height. The fixed ARB link bushes will either tear apart and no longer be fixed, or twist and be under constant tension. Effecting both suspension movement (twist tension causing lift) and swaybar tension/behaviour (now favouring downward suspension movement and more resistant to upward suspension movement), plus it also shortens the life of the bushes.

Grasskhana & BBQ. Back to roots to celebrate 20 years of loud cars ?

A few of my 03 Leggy GT And a few of HKM400s GC8 which i borrowed for the weekend

Very nice photos, love the clean lines.
