Did an oil change with royal purple today.

20130702_222703_zpsb7617e57.jpg

Verdict: feels the same as the HPR5, so just sticking with the cheaper oil for now.

and this came yesterday...

Elongated top bolt for camber (much better than camber bolts in my opinion)

First impression on these was that they are pretty comfortable but when you take the corners, the car feels planted. It just started to rain in Melbourne so I couldnt take it for a proper mountain run. The wheels especially the left front has massive toe in as well lol. Booked for a camber adjustment and alignment tomorrow with pedders. Very comfortable and will check the spring tension preload once i get home. Lucky I checked the preload last night as the rears were out of place. Will check the fronts preload tension again tonight.

also this happened...

didnt think i needed the handbrake on and when i set the coils to max low and couldnt get the jack out of the bottom i then proceeded with getting a couple of bricks to put them beneath the wheels. then for some reason when i lowered the car (yes i made sure i lowered it slowly) the car rolled off the bricks and back into the table behind. Stress cracks in 3 places on the rear bar. and a couple of tiny pushed in marks on the corner of the bar :( damage would have been much worse but meh... been sick for 3 days and was so tired... lol

pic of max lows on the front... lol

the rears arent low at all even on max low but i wouldn't go lower than what it is now... function > form ;)

Sexy shocks! and the right colour too.

few peeps are using these now will be good to get some more feed back.

Posted

any particular reason you went with these? unlike the standard BC BR coils everyone gets lol

How she sits now.

Might raise the front up a bit more when they settle. Got to play with the dampers. So far 12/24 is a good setting so far but need to drive it a bit more to see... But seems better than just leaving it on soft

Camber is - 2.7 rear left and - 2.4 rear right. Fronts are both - 3.3. Makes the top bolt out and it gave me this reading

20130724_083627_zps2f9a0db5.jpg

LOL. was making skidding sounds even when driving straight :D

looks hot, not a big fan of green that but kermit green is an eye catcher, height looks good imo

from this...

to this...

finishedproduct_zps07e02bb5.jpg

then put everything back together again only to find out that the bloody rev meter doesn't work. ugh... then found out that a couple of mini capacitors have broken off the circuit board for some reason :| thinking of ordering a new one and starting again... lucky i got the imoni to read the rev meter lol. once i get my new one i MIGHT put this one up for sale :P or i will keep it, don't want anyone else having the same cluster as me :P

i might not need the stock rev meter anyways when the "time is right" :spiteful:

Posted

no light in the rev meter = you cant hit lift forever till you fix the light

Posted

Non. I was living in lift in the last 20 minutes :p

Another picture all assembled back together...

got another cluster and changed the colours to this...

20130905_113906_zps1464ac6a.jpg

white or the previous blue? when i feel like white i'll change back to white :P

Neither, needs more green (although then it would look like a VT Commodore dash...)
