Instead of eating calimari and drinking Coronas all afternoon. I spent my time:-
Fixing the positive camber issue on the rears. Loctiteing the swaybar link bolts/nuts and gear level control arm bolts/nuts. Lowering 5mm and corner weighting the suspension as best as possible. Removed front wheel/tyre to take to shop tomorrow. 1 tyre is down to canvas, the other to steel!!! |

8Kg on the front with 5 in rear. interesting combo.
Have you or how much caster are you going to add over factory - think they were 27 or 32 degress on them. |

They are both whiteline. Mine is the KLC40- range, yours was the W23180.
I was keen on the KLC140- range, but didn't have the length I wanted. Last edited by project.r.racing; 15-02-2012 at 08:03 PM. |

caster is 2d35'/2d37', which is only about 0.67 of a degree extra than stock settings. --- brass bushing for shift rod is awesome, love the feel. will need to drop the front 2 in also now asap. Last edited by project.r.racing; 26-02-2012 at 09:06 AM. |

done a total of 110km on the coilovers. lol i am very pleased with them. although they are stiffer springs, the suspension actually feels softer on the road. smacked some good potholes due to the rain up here, and didn't have a concern in the end. need to wait for the rains to stop, and give them a really good bashing.

Toda cams + gears sitting in Melbourne awaiting shipping to me. Arrived much earlier than I thought. Should have them in before next track day.
Edit, they are now in the post! Awesome!!! Last edited by project.r.racing; 05-03-2012 at 06:57 PM. |

Was mowing today and realized the front door was open. Haven't used the car since Saturday. All compartments are open and iPod is gone. Poo! Lucky no damage to car. Left the headunit in, so must have teens looking for items to sell at school. Grrr!

Son of a bitch, you guys need to move into a gated complex or something. Quite a few of us have had 3rd party vandalism/theft occur lately.
