Noticed

[B4 I was 250T]

Been productive morning with lots of learning Pulled the centre consol out, replaced cigarette lighter light bulb with blue led, ash tray bulb with blue led, pulled HVAC to pieces and put blue leds in before realising I actually need 3 more bulbs for it, learned that the lens on the front is molded green so will somehow need to make a clear one to the digital face will be blue and oh, learned that if the circuit board touches something metal it starts smoking so I now need to buy another HVAC unit and repeat the the whole process. FML ( F*&K my life!!!) LOL

Went and got a few things done before winter

- Brake Check

- Anti-Freeze Check

- Battery Check

- Wheel Alignment

- Tyre Rotation and Balancing.

All for just $69 - Not bad. Only thing I need to do now is to look at getting a new battery before winter.

By the looks of it all they did was fix the toe? 69 a bit steep. We do camber caster and toe with our wheel alignments at tyrepower in otahuhu. Only 65

Good man

[newsuba]

Why are those alignment figures so lopsided - biased to the left ?

Symmetry rules !

All they "aligned" by the looks of it was toe

even the camber being on the p!ss is a 20 second job for them to sort, dont even need wheel off to reach the bolts, why they wouldnt fix that alone is beyond me

to be fair half the time people are just happy if the car goes straight when the wheel is perfectly upright

[newsuba]

It looks as if their machine spat out the numbers in the wrong places.

I.e. Front Right transposed with Rear Left.

;D

If its lowered then it is not bad, although I suspect its not the cause based on the camber reading on the right hand side.

However there appears to be an issue on the left hand side, so either

a) related to age and milage of car

b) accident damage related

Main destroyer of tyres is toe, followed by camber. So main things you want to look at is Toe, camber, Total Toe and Cross Camber front and rear.

Camber can be managed easily with tyre rotations (admittedly it becomes difficult once you have directionals/assymetric tyres). SAI & Included angle is immaterial for the application for want of a better phrase.

As for $69 thats not bad, I usually get between $149 and $89 per alignment... ;D

Installed a GReddy EVO series cat back exhaust on my bro-in-laws V12. Very nicely made piece of gear. Just abit to loud.

here is the info you were after someone might want to stick this somewhere we can all access quite readily the specs we use are from hunter engineering in the US as those the machines we use for our alignment. no more lasers all cameras

[Guest]

Replaced faulty thermostat, cleaned out all the coolant lines, radiator etc etc. Hopefully it will stop breaking down now, bloody starlet.

We get the latest as well, make sure the tech selects the right Jap/NZ model as there is a trap I tell ya!

[Guest]

Call me an idiot but idk how to read the camber on that. You know how people refer to camber as 3 or 4 deg etc how does that relate. Sure I read it last night on webs.

[Marky]

spec is -1.1 deg rear with 0.45 deg tolerance either way to be "aligned" I guess

front -0.25, weird

[newsuba]

As subieboy said that\'s some weird US spec.

But not as weird as that Tyre Power sheet.

Some guys like to setup road cars with compensation for heavily cambered NZ roads but -1°12\'/0°03\' is plain ridiculous.

GC8s are usually setup with more negative camber on the front.

[funkytown]

yesterday i drove my race car for the first time in a LONG time.. it made me happy

runs real well even with 4k rev limit lol.

[funkytown]

link bro. just set rpm limits on the tune. good when ur taking it to the mechanic or somewhere you have to leave it unattended

Saw u driving on pak highway on the way home from work

[Roo]

Purchased some 3" alloy piping to get my intake made as I found i\'ve worn a hole in my air filter from forcing it against the body, need a 45 degree reducer but they\'re stupid expensive. And now an air filter too

Found an sti wing for a reasonable price finally.

And my diff was sent on its way today too

[BLAZD]

Got another car
