Leebo3 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Man, you should have got us to go do a skid or something when it was still up here. Fun car but, some say wagons are cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 your goon needs a set of those repro 15x10 tridens! A val without tridens, is like a skank without a va-jay-jay. Just not right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I have 3x hubcaps for one of these. Yours if you want them dude, all in decent nick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Mk1 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Thanking you but nah, mine are good. The tinfoil trims are a bit wasted though,well not Valiant-spec material! If i make wide steels i could potentially use my hubcaps again like Cletus, or bullet caps as per my old Cortinawag Not 100% sold on tridies, but I do know what you mean/probably why im not 100% sold on tridies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valiant Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Looks good in person too. I drove past today. It looks like you have a lot of negative camber up front? Don't want to wear out the edges of those flash tyres! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Mk1 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Yea went in to get that camber wound out today and it wouldnt fit on the machine,too longer wheelbase. Said its got 2.5 degrees neg. Looks stone cold but I cant afford to wear out Eager, haha. Winton, lol. nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwd_mayhem Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Tridents and Eagers looking tough as man, I had Bridgestone Select on Moorhouse Ave do my wheel alignment while I was getting new Eagers, they didn't have too much trouble with it although I've heard good things about Chamberlains too.

KKtrips Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 If you are worried about the excessive camber you can get do it within coo-ee with a plumb-bob and a rule - plus a little bit of measuring and maths. I'm not sure if Vals are an eccentric or the top arm is spaced out. If its spaced you will need to buy some spacers - or make some.. But once you know how the camber is adjusted then its easy enough to get it to close enough then get them to finish it off properly. edit - according to this page and pictures it looks like eccentric bolts so it should be a piece of cake - especially if you can adjust them without jacking the car up or while in a pit.. http://www.drhemi265.com/WheelA.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 i did a diy alignment on my vg id read somewhere that vals suffer from a lack of caster/factory spec is none. so i just maxed out the adjustment inwards on the rear of the arm, and outwards on the front, and set the toe by watching what the tyre does- roll it foward, if the tyre bulges out at the bottom and tucks back in when you roll it back, it has toe out. i adjusted it until the tyre doesnt change when it rolls foward and back. this was meant to be temporary but ended up driving it like that for ages. when i went to get a wheel alignment the only thing he adjusted was the toe- a little bit of toe in to counteract the camber- which was about 2 degrees. toe out is more of a tyre killer than camber too. here are some specs from a charger book i have, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Mk1 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Thanks men, i was linked to an epic write up on nzmopar forum also.. I got top and bottom control arm bushes today for much less than i expected. I just now have to find the time and skill to install. Looks to be a top notch fuck of a job. And i have zero time to do it. My fix? Put the old rims on the front and give a shit until I get a weekend off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
