Tony Posted June 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 I'm quite looking forward to it too :-) I bet ..... I think it's great you can see your car being "evolved" live on-line.... It's a far cry from the methods dealers use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Can't wait What's being poly bushed though, everything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magic919 Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Just a few of the bits to start, like this http://www.monkfishperformance.co.uk/handlingpac1.html Just about all the enthusiasts with Monaros fit this Road Response Pack. I wanted to get the baseline correct before the suspension itself gets evolved. I'm waiting on Derek at Absolutely Shocks for the suspension side of things, so I thought I'd keep the momentum up. Oh, and one of these strut braces http://www.monkfishperformance.co.uk/strutbrace.html The car already has one, but the new one is adjustable. And the real reason is it looks better. Ok, you've got me, it's because it's gonna be easier to clean... PS. Why don't I get the email notifications? I've ticked the box and never see them hit my mail server.

I hope it'll sharpen up a bit. Starting to think I'll stick on a quick rack later now... I have tried to subscribe like that and then just switched on the option in the Control Panel. It says I am subscribed, so there must be another reason it doesn't email me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 I know other people have had problems before I was admin. I did test it a while ago and it worked ok for me Maybe unsubscribe and try again but if that don't work I think it's to do with the hosting.

Tony Posted June 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Here's the kit First up was the tie-rod bushings The instructions were a funny joke? It clearly says the tapered side of the bushing faces front.... Logic and the bushing said otherwise So we filed the instructions and opted for plane B. Next up drop-links..... The extra, extra long thread, what's that all about? Next the ARB..... NSF was nice and easy to get at The OSF was another story since it's under all this> Tony didn't swear........................ Much. Last of all the top plates and strut brace I really enjoyed the install, mainly because i didn't do it .... Someone had to take the images. I did do the Geometry though... The data i had to acquire online which was just as well since it looked like the front camber had a really small range? With the downloaded data a video of the camber adjustment showed a small 8mm bolt (almost hidden) that locke's the cambers position, the UK cars don't have this.

magic919 Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 It's all looking good. Tie rod bushes look great in place. Might have to buy some more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing in my logs either, so there were no attempts made to deliver mail. Might try another email addy. Back on topic - The car is feeling great. Tony made a few adjustments today and it feels a lot more connected. Mark balanced up the wheels while I was there. Two of them are a bit out of true (ouch) but they are balanced up nicely now. Just need to find somewhere to cold press them and see if they can be salvaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magic919 Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Might have a solution for the wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 They look nice mate, 18's? Glad the car's handling well, shame about the wheels, can't Tony get them sort though? BTW, I'm still getting the emails so not sure what's wrong then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magic919 Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 They are 19s, so a direct replacement for the originals. Saves replacing tyres too. Mark said it's possible to have them cold pressed. WiM are planning such a device but that's still on the shopping list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
