Squishy bushes causing toe out on braking IIRC?

I'm a real cruisey driver 99.5% of the time so I don't know it that's it.

Everyone was accusing me of driving hard when they saw my front tyres, the passenger side has excessive wear on the outer edge, the drivers side has excessive wear on the inner edge.

Was warned upon getting wheels aligned to get a camber put put in and yeah that never occured and yep two new front tyres coming up .

Oh the sound it makes is just driving me absolutely nuts.

when I'm cornering left its super quiet then the noise from the front tyres is really loud when going straight or turning to the right :(

There is no real gain to be had using an external gate on the factory manifold....unless you want the screamer noise of course. I well ported internal gate can in some instances work better. I.e the older ETM 38mm external setups used a press bent screamer pipe so effectively the gate size is less than 38mm.

Thanks mate. Deal fell through on the setup I was looking at anyways.

one last question. If I were to grab a gtx, can I wait untill a little further down the track to purchase the surge tank or is it highly reccomended to run one?

A gtx will outperform your std fuel system when cranked uup.but if you go for a real conservative tune and down the track install surge and retune then should be no probs. But paying for two tunes seems silly.

I asked XFT this question and Simon said sorta the same as Murdok.

It can also be an issue if you get heavy footed with low fuel levels.

One of their mechs also told me separately that he would be uncomfortable at anything over 370-380 in an FG without one.

The other thing is that you wouldnt want to be strapped onto a dyno and find your fuel system can't keep up and then have to rush around trying to get something in there.

I spent the money for peace of mind and the cost of a second tune would almost cost as much as a surge tank anyway.
