  1. had to make a few changes to make the work's fit. changed back to 4x 114.3. as i had changed to 4x100 and fwd offset, because it was cheap way to do brake upgardes and make hilux diff fit at the time.

    front hubs swaped back to standard. new pug rotors and bracket made for caliper:

  2. ah, by steering arm, i mean from the balljoint, to where the rack end pivots in the rack. dont think what i said above would work though. as probably can't rase the balljoint pivot point on lower arm. could probably lower the steering arm ball joint insted though. i need to have a better look at it.

  3. That link only really applies to wishbone setups, macpherson strut is quite different. Basically in macherson strut to get zero bumpsteer you need the LCA and steering arm to be the same length and sit at the same angle, this will keep the steering arm and LCA travelling in the same arc. Factory setup is generally not like this so short of a complete re-design your best bet is to return it to as close as factory as possible. I would expect spacing the steering arm down while leaving the LCA as it is to really mess your geometry up, I'm not an expert on Capri's though.

    so if i were to make a new lower arm. that follows the angle, and has the same lenght of the steering arm. would be the best option (along with rca's) to try eliminate bump steer? i take it, both the lower arm and steering arm, have to arc from the same point, when steering is straight ahead.

    looks to be fairly stright foward on a kp. just need to make the lower arm sit higher at the strut end. as the lower arm currently angles down more than the steering arm. they seem to arc roughly from the same point at the rack/ x member end.

  4. new shape corrollas, as someone else said, have them. wagons and hatchs etc,, plenty of them around.

    yeh 4x100 is gay, in process changing kp back to 4x114.3 after changing it to 4x100 becuse it was cheap/easy at time.

  5. no worries. got prices off 3 dudes off there anyway, that mypepe guy cheapest at 135 each. not same tyres tho. they dont make the k102 anymore. been replaced with k105. falkens were 168 each

  6. didnt relise you could get 195/45's in a 14. should be sweet. altho the 195 is gonna be harder to fit. would be mean in a 185

    drftnmaz: those gIII's do look nice. cheers for pics

  7. anyone using tyres this size? what brand/sort are you using? need something without a gay bubble sidewall. wont be stretched, as rims are only 6.5's. but want something with nice flat sidewall. sloppy bulgy side walls are probably going to rub, plus they look ugly.

    thinking maybe, bridgestone potenza or dunlop sp sport, but havent seen either on a rim

  8. i'd go for toyo t1r or goodyear f1. toyo's seem to be a bit better in the dry and f1's bit better in wet.

    pretty retarded saying f1's suck in the wet.
