It could be the wheel or some sort of optical illusion but from this picture the front right wheel camber looks way more aggressive than -3



I have -3 camber with my car as well and it doesnt look any where near that aggressiveness. How do you find the TC arm? Are those rose/helm joints rough on the street?

I think it's a combination of two things. One, it's just the way it looks in the photo. Two, the wheel is being turned left and the suspension is heavily compressed, which would increase the camber from the static setting.

They're pretty good value for money, but you need a bit more clearance if you have a thick shock body (i.e. HKS). The rose joints are fine on the street, I haven't really noticed any extra noise or jarring compared to the oem arm. They do require more maintenance than a rubber bush though.

Cusco brake stopper installed last night;



It's more sturdy in construction than I was expecting (which is nice). I quite like the way it is designed. Not sure if it is going to make a difference or not, but for the cost I'm happy to test it out.

Have a testing arvo on the 20th, so I should be able to find out then!

It just makes the brake pedal feel firmer!

Nope, but not sure what you are referring to? You mean the orange hoops?

Yep!




So I had some spare 2" tubing and a bit of time on my hands...

Decided to build some brake ducting, and I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.









I'm really happy with the look from the front. I think it adds a nice bit of aggression


Before anyone asks, the aluminum end pieces are from Demon Tweeks. I always get my small bits and pieces from them - they are super efficient.

Nice work Would you need some sort of filter/grill to stop debris (like small rocks) from getting scooped?

Now that is a really good idea. Nice mod. I think Elaugh's car has something similar.
