Furai Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 165s are great! Used them at Meremere yesterday. Clutch took a hammering but good fun, did nearly 60km of drifting (Car also hit 200,000Km while sideways!) used quater of a tank and maybe a mm off the new tyres.

Furai Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 Soooo after 2 days of driving around and messing about I finally found someone to install them! I was going to do it myself but I dont have all the tools. They put new boots on too. They are gorgeous. Close up Before After Turning circle Cant wait to try them out properly, getting an alignment tomorrow morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furai Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 So Ive done a couple things. Got an alignment, 0 Toe all round and -0.5 Camber in the rear, -1.3 in the front and 4 caster. Should be good but we will see at the Gymkhana on the weekend. Fitted my PPF brace, man is this thing wicked! Makes shifting super smooth and if you listen carefully you car hear this cool diff whine Tow Strap I won at the rainy Drift day from Moonlight racing. Also been playing around with the idea of a ducktail... Cardboard Aided Design makes it easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furai Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 Heres a video someone else took my run starts at 1:50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 That 18min video makes me want an AW11 with LSD again... So much fun for autocross & gymkhana. Nice driving too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Oh, and words from the wise: Go for as much camber as possible all round plus 2mm of toe out at the front and 2mm of toe in at the rear . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furai Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 Oh, and words from the wise: Go for as much camber as possible all round plus 2mm of toe out at the front and 2mm of toe in at the rear . Im running -1.2 all round and zero toe. Its pretty reponsive and fun to drive I wouldnt think adding turn in and stability to the rear would be much good for Drifting? Unusually I have infact lowered my car. Needs to be higher at the back or lower at the front.... I love the brace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 My combo of toe makes the car "pointier" - so it's more responsive to steering input and is also a bit more tail happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threetwoskyline Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 With your history of lowering cars with MS Paint I found it hard to believe that you actually lowered your car, in real life, with suspension modifications. However, I'm not sure you could be arsed to make the buildings and posts line up in those snaps, so congratulations! It looks awesome, not sky-high, not hollafresh, just purposful. Second photo is cool as, Wat's look really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
