Spencer Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 T3 make mean camber plates http://www.technotoytuning.com/productlist.php?vehicleid=24 should land them for around $300 better way to go that offset RCA's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Agreed, plus the T3 products are fantastic quality. My camber plates compared to an equivalent Cusco/HKS/Tein etc item are built so much tougher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest white_raven Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 First off, i'm from the states and we dont have shit over here like that and... WOW simply the most amazing thing ever! Honestly its beautiful!!!! so i have a few questions...that i've never been able to get answered! hopefully you can help....i spent like 2 hours last night pouring over this thread for answers.... HOW THE HELL DO YOU GET THAT CRAZY CAMBER? What Suspension setup are you using? all custom or what? I'm doing my first attempt at all boso cressida (mx73)...i was wondering if you could give me some pointers...thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lofreq Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 other than obama and mccain i dont have much idea on the others - shows how much we rely on blown out media coverage to know whats goin on heh headgasket? they dont need headgaskets to run. i bet it runs fine. my 1g-e daily runs the same with oil or no oil in the sump, its optional. my mates one ran on no oil or water and then ran on detergent after that. who cares about a steamy exhaust pipe - youre putting H2O back into the environment - its all natural! what did i do? i made that cardboard/metal sheet mockup of a rim if you recall reading early in the build, to measure clearances etc of a wide rim, however that method didnt really take into consideration the pivoting of the arms as the arms are displaced, so i was still out by a bit. i dished the wheels too much and so i had to just 'bash to suit' to get clearances. then it was a matter of varying the ride height to suit (adjustable platforms on front, but on rear its fixed so i just installed and unnstalled the springs and test drove about 2301 times each time cutting a bit more coil off until it sat just right to look good but also ride good and not scrape under accel or bump. i was also trialling different springs each time (from different cars fro junkyard) so each one gave different load and bump results. final setup? finally settled on some coils that were stiff enough to not displace the load too much but long enough to remain captive. couldnt tell you how much was cut off them, but i think the springs came from a late 1980's ford falcon xl sedan, one of the huge ones, and probably not a model you have there anyway. front suspension were the coilovers SUPPOSEDLY for a VW Polo?? with 450lb springs and platforms i bought from a suspension shop and grafted onto the stock struts which we shortened, rewelded and de-platformed (ground off the factory platforms) so in 1000 words i have answered you with nothing useful right. no off the shelf crap for these cars so the above process was all i had as an option just take the springs out and roll around on bumps until you grow older and get it all out of your system, then by that time you'll be ready for a modern MPV with auto box fold down arm rests and 35 air bags cus u and i know end of the day this car game is ratshit on the budget and reliability and all that ...right??

The part about there not being any "off the shelf stuff" is one of the things i love about these cars, 1( it brings you back to the heart of car tuning. back where you had to make to have it! 2( it deters alot of want-a-be's or whatever for completely destroying the nostalgia/culture of the car, kinda what happen to silvias/180sx (240sx over here) its horrible! but i dont think that will happen to these cars for some time to come...blah blah blah... just take the springs out and roll around on bumps until you grow older and get it all out of your system, then by that time you'll be ready for a modern MPV with auto box fold down arm rests and 35 air bags cus u and i know end of the day this car game is ratshit on the budget and reliability and all that ...right?? NO! lol its more a way of life, i have friends and know many ppl still rock this stuff (not just boso but vip, drift style, etc.) and they are well into there 40's! things may take time when your on a budget but who cares! once you get a completion point, it makes it all worth it....lol ...right?

CHEESE Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 just a quick noobish question from the star out your build sacked out the car! obtained coilover platforms from FBI for only $100!!! the box said they were for VW Polo. i shrugged - turned out to fit perfectly. top hats matched stock cressida struts perfectly. we couldnt believe our eyes. $100 coilovers, keeper springs, the works. FBI? im guessing a performance shop you guys have in Auckland? im in chch just curious wondering if they had a website or someone down here sold them how did you know they were gonna fit? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FBI? im guessing a performance shop you guys have in Auckland? im in chch just curious wondering if they had a website or someone down here sold them how did you know they were gonna fit? cheers yah FBI is a performance shop in aucks run by a mate of mine (Adam)- http://www.teamfbi.co.nz/ didnt know they were gona fit. went in asking (with no hope whatsoever) if he had any suspension parts for markII's/cressidas/coronas etc. nothing of course but then he said he did have some boxes of random coilover parts that i could have to take away. had a squiz at it and ended up with what im using. boxes were marked for VW Polo, unknown year. we knew the strut diameters and shock shaft diameters and we eyeballed it to possibly work - got home and tried them and fit perfectly, just good luck nothing else!!

lofreq Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 so yeah, dailys gone, got the folks' old 91 corolla as a backup for now/runabout - markII is all legal, fukin sweet took her in for full wheel alignment yesterday to sort out new subframe - rear runs between 3.6-4degrees negcamber - win. front only 1.1degree. need camber plates and more spacing. question for anyone technical - i want to replace my wheelstuds with "longer" wheel studs (just mybe 5mm longer) so i can use larger slip-on spacers without running out of thread length. where can i get 'long' studs from? another car/factory model? or, parts shop? just need to do the front. any tips appreciated. i have 25mm bolt on spacers, these aretoo wide... ideas??
