You should get two of the hangers that the cat sits on and run those on the rear hanger, it will tuck the muffler up more and look super nice.

Thanks for the suggestion
pretty happy with how it is sitting though at the moment, and not getting any issues scrapping it where I go day-to-day.
Got any pics of a PG with that setup?

well there you go haha...small world indeed.

Audi R8, drool. How often do you come to syd?

[Timmy_B]

Hmmm im in sydney when there is good meets on. LOL
so not too often.
Will be coming back soon in a few weeks when i get the chance to pick up my sway bar.

[lowie]

fair enough..awesome stuff what sway you putting in? and when are you getting into forced induction haha

[lowie]

Got this two weeks back, forgot to put it up.
Pretty happy with the result.

Power train:

Hurricaine (liverpool exhausts) header
X-force 100 cell cat
Futijitsubo Power Getter
Injen CAI

Any exhaust specialist in particular TODA who seen/heard of my headers agree that they are a hunk of crap. So hopefully a change in header down the track will maybe touch the 130s?

Can really see where the A/F ratio goes nuts after the VTEC crossover and what a good use of a aftermarket ECU would be...

[Timmy_B]

Well its the EP3R sway.
And the 'forced induction' will be for me to know only. hehehehe
Still looking into some options right now and also starting to stock pile some parts.
Question is still turbo or supercharger or K24
after seeing the amount of power some of those Turbo K20A3s can make its pushing me towards that but i think a little too much wheel spin for track use.

[lowie]

Shit day today.
Preparing for the track again and attempted to dial more camber in the fronts, specifically -3.5, which would make front negative camber more than the rears to help with cornering and help prevent understeer.

The stock tein pillowball mounts/camber tops are only good for -1deg or so, so I went to Pedders in mascot and got a pair of whiteline 16mm adjustable camber bolts (KCA416).

Pretty hefty quote to fit/buy the part and align the front wheels but I paid it anyway cause I couldnt get it anywhere else short notice. End result was camber settings sitting around -1degree and no change besides the camber bolts being installed.

They could only get it at -2.5 degrees max, but that sent toe to a total of 60mm and that wasnt adjustable as the thread on the steering arm connecting to the tie rod ends ran out and toe couldn't be altered? So the camber had to be dialed back down to -.8 left and -1.2 right in order to get the toe right again...

end verdict:
- no change in camber settings besides -.2 or so
- camber bolts installed (properly???)
- minus $350

question: had a very long discussion with the guys working on my car there, and this result is very disapointing and im looking for second/third/forth opinions. Do i need more thread on my steering arm/shorter tie rod ends so toe is adjustable at more than -1deg camber???
I know that alex has BC coilovers with ingalls camber bolts and everything else stock and he achieves -4deg camber.

equipment: (front suspernsion geometry)
- tein flex
- whiteline 16mm adjustable camber bolts

any help would be appreciated...

[SpoonS]

I think you need to get shorter tie rods. Same deal with my car.

[lowie]

yeah that's what im thinking....
getting inverted tie rod ends that are shorter, so toe can be adjusted with more extensive neg camber settings and also the angle of the steering arm can be corrected at the same time to reduce bump steer?
