First finding of the morning. The tie rods are set half an inch in length difference. This is causing the passenger side wheel to contact the caster arm quite badly. The driver side just barely kissed it once. I have steering rack limiters waiting to go in but it won't help with this difference...
I wish I could leave my cars stock... Its like a mental disease, I cannot leave anything alone. I have modded every car I've owned for the last 25 years.
I'll call them this week, I don't see myself correcting this mess for the reasons I mentioned in the post above this one. Gonna be a fun conversation with Steve on Monday before I do that.
Yeah I've been amassing tools for about 20 years now and haven't stopped. My issue is with doing everything myself is I have back issues, like the kind you hope you never have. Getting under the car like I'm doing this weekend is brutal so these types of installs I'm more likely to pay someone...
Got my car back after another 2 week delay and dug into it today. All I can say is what a fucking disaster. I cannot believe that a place that advertises itself as a race shop and specializing in setting up cars for track use can be this fucking bad. I don't feel like writing up a long post...
Shop thinks they've figured out the problem. The caster in the rear was slightly off side to side. That was throwing off the bump steer curves causing the progressive pull to the right when the suspension was under load. Should have the car back middle of next week. Don't think I'll be doing...
Set of euro eibach springs with about 2000 miles on them for sale. Switched to coilovers so I no longer need these. They're basically new and in perfect condition. $250 local pickup only due to shipping costs. I am located in Houston.
Yeah, I was already looking at how to do string alignments on youtube these past few weeks. Didn't realize anyone sold kits for this, I was going to make a trip to home depot and build my own. My only concern is my garage is not perfectly flat, it has a slight slope toward the entrance so water...
Car is still pulling right today so I won't be on track this weekend. Really disappointed about this and I'm out a bunch of money for the weekend. I'll likely miss eagles canyon in 2 weeks as well.
I did drive it today, it's a bit better, not fighting me to keep it straight with a slightly off...
Full verkline suspension was installed on the car over the last month or so along with a rear sway bar and verus oil cooler. Had a shop do this since I didn't have the time to do it myself nor did I care to drop the rear subframe in my garage.
Took a long time to get all of this done, well...
I have a set of front and rear Whiteline endlinks for sale. The fronts have roughly 2000 miles and 4 track days on them, the rears are brand new sealed in the original packaging. Some minor visual wear from installation and removal on the fronts. $200 shipped to the lower 48.
I have a set of Verus camber plates for sale that I bought earlier this year new. They have 2 track weekends or 4 track days and roughly 2000 miles on them. Some minor visual wear from installation and removal. Selling because I moved to coilovers that came with different plates. Sold.
Fuel system is pretty much done, not a bad way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Really liking how easy this car is to work on. Torque sequence on the rails and injectors was annoying... I did give up on the dorch eca harness and ordered the MHD harness instead. I would have spent the day trying to...
Sort of got started with the fuel system this afternoon. Anyone that has done the install of the dorch zeitronix eca know what connectors and pins I need to pull from the bcm to splice their harness in? Their instructions look to be for a different car or gen of b58. I can ask them but I don't...
Concavity is going to be determined by offset, wheel width, brake clearance, and what concave profiles are offered for your chosen wheel from BCF. If you talk to BCF they'll recommend +22f/+35r with a max concave profile in the rear and medium in the front. The set of HCS02s I have are...
MCS turned that blown damper around quickly and I got it back last night and installed this morning. Took the car for a long drive today, felt good to drive it again, its been sitting for the last 2 months due to weather, traveling, and broken parts. Ride quality is much better with the MCS...
