lol if its the axles your referring to yup they popped straight out lol...

as for the rest of you with sick minds get off the grass hahaha

[ReubenH]

Just went and got an alignment, fronts are all perfect, rears... less than ideal. Even the very minor squat the V8 struts have is enough to make the rear axles poit up, and the lateral arms are sitting dead level, less then ideal. And the rumor bout GDB struts causing positive camber in the rear is positivly true, +0.5º left, +0.1º right at the moment, with no way of adjusting it.

So, i'm gonna get me some of these:

Camber bolts

I was going to go the fitting factory bolts way, but then saw they were only $20 USD, won't be more than $40 NZ by the time they get here, seems alright, and less rangi than modifying the rear stuts to fit stock front camber bolts. When i do those, i'll also chuck the rear bilstein springs on the KYB's, and get that arse back to a proper level.

The guy doing the alignment was a cool guy too. At first he didn't really want me hanging round watching the alignment get done, but we eventually got to talking. Turns out he used to live in the UK, and knew Colin McRae, and was working on caterham 7's. Fucking win.

Before:

After:

Ooo, new machine

[Shale]

Aw beastie how I miss thee

Looks great now that it's 90% sorted...camber bolts are gonna be a huge help!

[MercuryFree]

Cleaned my abs sensors, abs light still on, failed warrant, but at least I don't have to fix anything else to get it, that's a pleasant change

haha. That's awesome. Weird he didn't liked you watching... I had a mechanic liked that when going for a wof. Well I don't know what else I was supposed to do... He had my car, where was I suppose to go exactly? basically told me to go away and come back in fifteen min. Haven't been back...

[Guest keltik]

Picked up custom clutch plate, just had a thought....is my release bearing going to work? DAMMIT!

f***. Just saw the above comparison pic, the bottom spring rainter/cup/holder thing is totally different... Smaller diameter, and with that kink in a different place to the bilsteins... .... rage!

It's either going to have to be spacers, or getting the front springs compressed.

That's very nice to hear, glad you got lucky.

[WRXER]

Yeah Cashmere was lucky, we didn't get hit hard. For me it seemed buisness as usual until I got into work, and heard from other guys who's houses were hit very hard. One had a partial collapse and everything is totalled. Couldn't beleive he came in still.

[Shale]

Wait, what?? His home was pwnt and his still reported to work??

That's some kiwi spirit for you The man is made of steel!

[WRXER]

Yeah young fella only 19, showed me pxts and I was like WTF are you doing here mate.
