Toyota starlet wheel alignment issues
CIH replied to Asad_EP5DR's topic in General Problems / Discussions
Hey barry not seen you on here for a little while! Not sure about Drury Lane (Tony will know) but there's also Nigel Langs in Bolton. I'm from Manchester too. -
Toyota starlet wheel alignment issues

you'll need your toe re-setting afterward tho -

Hey Pieter, It's pretty straight forward to be honest but the result is quite dramatic. We reduce the camber to -0' 10". This spoils the toe, which when corrected pulls the castor forward but to no detrement, and that's pretty much it. Peter

I want headlight wipers for my Silvia - not brushes though ofcourse. Flip-ups and wipers ? Sick.

Any weakness in the set-up will be compensated by copious SICK DRIFT SKILLZ. Yeah.

what's this "lift" you guys are peeping about ? Is it at all related to ?
-
Last thing last night I remembered that the wheels on my car had those security bolts on - obviously it wasn't a problem, but can you pass on a 'sorry' to the guys who did my tyres for not mentioning it. ttfn I found it under you're spare wheel
-
Oh yeah I forgot to mention - the TRE wasn't seized at all.
-
how is the car now ?

Unknown brands - Yes or No?

Just get the stuff from the factors it'll be ok. Couple 'o years ago I went a little loopy and spent money buying top notch fluids from Opie (the likes of Motul & Fuchs) but didn't reconnect the thermostat housing properly so all that expensive Fuchs coolant ended-up on the floor lol. -
More WIP images; -Rear rideheight looks sweet to me, especially as the S12 shape demands "rake" (as the cool kids call it) but not actually set yet. -Which brings me to the front. S13 arms, "S12" coilovers and a hybrid S13/14 chassis means mucho camber. Maybe too much, even for an occasional drifty. -R32 GTR rims & Z32 Calipers. Basically the usual 5-stud S13 set-up. Calipers to be repainted.

Handbrake shoes will be fine. They last forever. Just give them a quick clean-up with the discs off.

Steering always biased to the left

Entierly by eye and it's totally subjective, too. When we get this, and we do, I take the customer at their word and move it on their say so. Sometimes you just can't tell TBH. -
Well the 5-stud was to accommodate brake upgrades. Wheel choice was much better with the 4s but I like the R32 GTRs on there. Joey Barbs @ WIM prefers my drifty S14 rims but he's odd like that.

That actually sums it uo quite well....

-coming off the axle stands. Yah, brah.
-
Yeah don't top-up brake fluid dude. If it's low it's for a reason - probably worn-ish friction bits.

Invisible Touch Detailing - VW Corrado VR6
CIH replied to Invisible Touch Detailing's topic in Car Detailing & Care
That looked like my car when you first got it. Well, a bit more complete but y'know... -
They seize-up like a mutha, even when they're < a few years old. Adjusters seize to the subffame and the bolts stickin the bush. Typical Toyota TBH.
