ZEEROLLA Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Hey Qui, how is the car going? Clocked a few more kays now? I will most probably be going, not working that day. My car still ain't 100% with the sh*t clutch but i have lowered it so would be interesting to see how much better it handles. So what cars would be turning up at this stage?Zee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZEEROLLA Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 (edited) Wow that's quite a few Pugs, good to hear a Celica will be coming so i am not the odd one out.. Should be a good day! Is your friend with the Celica on this forum? I think i will meet you all at the track, should still remember how to get there. No i don't have a bike, but i love them! And the only reason why i use the Yamaha R1 as my avatar is obvious, because our 2ZZ-GE engine is tuned by Yamaha B) Great bike you got there, how much did you pay for it? Is the R6 quicker and handles better than the CBR600RR? Oh, would you also be bringing your camera and video cam mate? Remember to bring your remote this time, also if you still have the vid from last time would you be able to burn me copy? Thanks!

That's the good thing about 600cc bikes compared to 1000cc, it revs hard! If only our Stivos can rev to that speed with LIFT at 11,000rpm! :P $8500 is a bloody good deal man :o I would have bought that bike first and got my licence later!! My brother in law paid $5000 for a Kawasaki 1991' ZXR750 few years back! It was in great condition too and was very well maintained with pipe. I had a ride as a pillion once and was so close to kissing the tarmac when he squeezed it without warning :D Sounded fantastic with an aftermarket pipe, i can hear him 10 blocks away i think Edited December 13, 2004 by ZEEROLLA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZEEROLLA Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Thanks for the video Qui! It was a good day, a great variety of cars turned up and it was good to see where my Stivo stood among these cars but too bad i couldn't head out for the last session due to low fuel! I had a good shot at a better lap time and then all of a sudden the car seiged when i entered the last corner before the straight. :( Anyway learnt my lesson. I seriously need better tyres, can't outrun the other guys with 195 width street tyres! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you in a Black wagon and we had a bit of fun for a couple of laps? You were pretty quick then and onto my tail.. I was abt to pull into the pits when i saw your car then thought i will have a little run with you but i couldn't get the car to turn in and brake.. but it was fun! Like you metioned that was a great day due to the amount of cars that turned out. Hope to see you again soon sometime! Cheers,Zee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zr240 Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Zee,I notice you have some whiteline camber bolts on your car.I was going to try and dial in some more camber manually the other day, but if the whiteline kit isnt too expensive i might as well just do that.How much negative camber can you get, and how much do the bolts cost?I'm quite happy with the neutral handling of the wagon already, just need a bit more cornering grip.My tyre wear is horrendous on the outer edges and untouched on the insides.howdy,Sorry for bringing this post up from the dead,but I just managed to find this forum.I think i bumped into a few of you guys at this trackday.I was driving a black corolla stationwagon, with a kangaroo'd bumper and one foglight missing, and half the goulburn locust population on my headlights.It was one of the best trackdays ive been to just because there were so many cars!Loved the dicing with the sportivos, rollcaged 306, commodores etc.great stuff.cheers,vincent←Hi Vincent, welcome to the forum!

ZEEROLLA Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Hey Vincent, i think it was roughly $80 and its setup according to Whiteline's specs just 1 degree neg which is nothing. You can choose to go higher, up to 1.5 neg. Hope to see u at Wakefield again sometime!

shaohaok Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 (edited) i wouldn't go beyond 1.5 negativethe car would start to feel a bit too floaty on the freeway when u are cruising in a straight-line. but it makes the car VERY sure-footed in hi-g low speed corners, but a bit wierd at hi-speed bends coz u think the car is going to lose it coz the tyres start to squirm, then as the weight shifts a bit more, the car settles down better...i reckon 1 and a bit is pretty good. northy has a good setup.at 2degrees, 7inch wide wheels will start to just catch the inside arch Edited January 17, 2005 by shaohaok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northy Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 im running -1.5 on both sides and the car feels great all the time and im using the stock 15" with the stock tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zr240 Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Thanks for the tips guys.Popped down to whiteline the other day, and installed them this afternoon.Can't quite say i followed the crappy instructions to a tee, but I put them at what looked to me as the max negative camber settings for the top bolt(big part of cam facing towards body, inner small tab facing wheel). So it should be relatively close to -1.5It's a bit of a dodgy bros install without a proper wheel alignment, but i don't have time at the moment.cant really tell if its made much difference at all just driving around the streets at sedate speeds.Will need to bring it to bloody wakefield again to see if my tyres wear a bit more evenly now.
