currently my camber settings are -1 front and -2 rear. I plan to sit on -3.5 front and -2.5-3 on the rear. Although at this height, I havnt had too many scrubbing issues
Nice updates all around. I'm liking the mods and your track work progress.
What happened to the 'need to settle down' comment earlier on? haha.
Thanks man On the odd occasion I'm sometimes able to spot your car out the front of your house when I drive by, gives me the chills :P
And yes, the statement may have been a little "far fetched".... I found myself buying and buying and buying but it's officially time to slow down now, school is getting serious and my expenses have become far greater than revenues :P

Hey guys, I have here probably my biggest update ever..
As many of you may already know, there has been a small situation.
I was driving home from school last Wednesday on High St and stopped behind a tram. A lady driving a Mitsu-shity Magna was travelling at 60km/h and was "window shopping" and did not see the cars ahead stopped and ran into the back of me. She made no attempt to stop as she saw me at the last second and I was hit hard. The car was forced forward into the car infront of me and I went underneath its rear bar (yes, I was that low).
At first inspection my car only had rear bar damage, front bar damage and the radiator seemed blown. Coolant was leaking everywhere and I managed to drive the car home. I cranked open the bonnet to find the engine bay was "shrunk". Everything was cramped in and pretty much destroyed. Fenders were buckled too so the doors didn't open properly. I then removed my spare from the rear and found the whole undertray area where the wheel sits was completely compacted. The chassis was considerably shorter and crumpled in the rear boot and this is where I finally decided the car was beyond repair.
Debra, the love of my life will be picked up by the insurance company soon for a tow to the assessors where they will probably declare her "written off". She had a great life with her previous owner Bennet as the MOONSR beast and in my possession I did my best to keep her living up to her name. I spent 2 days removing all mods and she is now bone stock. I'm thankful that I sustained no injuries (other than a good head bump on the Nardi steering wheel and some minor whiplash) however the same can't be said about my car
Future plans? Finish year 12 and sort out the car situation from there. I have a short term plan and car lined up so everyone will just have to wait and see, watch this space!!
I'd like to extend my thanks to everyone here in the community for all their kind words and support for myself and my noble companion Debra the Integra. Thanks to all those that lent hands with mods and helped at track days, it meant a lot and I may call your services again someday.
Well, that's it... Debra is now in a better place where I shall meet her one-day and experience that love I felt every-time I sat in her, she was truly the greatest car I could have owned. R.I.P
