Stazza...you're crazy. Is there such a thing as a quick polish AND wax?!

Yep, washed car as normal. Only polished the top surfaces of the car, roof, bonnet, hardlid as that's where the dust sits from car sitting for days at a time.

Spray on detailer wax and an electric buffer speeds job up :P

Was at Lakeside at an event called 'All Aussie' Fathers Day Happy Laps. Got 'spirited' in the second session. The new spring and shock combo worked a treat and the dot 4 penrite brake fluid took care of the 'fail' I had at powerplay, earlier in the year.

Loved chopping the old schoolers that you think might be quick. HO's, A9X's, XB Hardtops, Chargers. Amazing how quick our cars are when you test them against these legendary cars. The only car that really did me all day was the Elite tuned GTE, that did the tuner challenge recently. It has run a 10.80 I believe. He jumped about a car and a half and I was holding him 'till we hit the picks approaching 2 hungie. I did get a bit of a bottom flex on that run actually as I tried to pull the barge up. Lucky we were just 'cruising' lol. I'll send a link when the prof. photographers post them.

put the gauge pod in, I didn't grind back the redundant plastic on the backside enough which meant the bastard flexed a bit when I put it in. the paint cracked :(. oh well easy enough to sand again and touch up now I know what caused it. I also might sand a bit more off the fibreglass where it makes the rubber seal look a bit odd although its hardly noticeable in real life.

plates look better I recon trainer! why did you put muffler back in? too noisy?

Yes mate, I wasn't that impressed with it from the start, just too drony and annoying, much happier with it now. There is still a fair bit of noise inside the car when you get into it but it is just nice when cruising.

Gave the girl a rear wheel alignment just then.

The camber was f*cked after I put new cv's in months ago.

I have more traction now woohoo :)

how did you adjust the rear camber?

I thought it could only be done with that bottom eccentric bolt that mainly moves the toe around...

Can ya get adjustable top arms for rear end camber adj.? I dont want no adjustable bush rubbish.

The top arm on the rear adjustes the camber. It also holds the brake line. If

You look closely the the bolt is off centre in the washer. Crack the nut then roll it either way

To adjust :)

Had to do mine on the hoist with a level on the brake discs then check once on ground. Was too low to fit on the proper ramp haha
