Thanks to DanN92 for the Momo!

I've heard it can be difficult to get the original steering wheel off...We'll see what happens Sunday aha.

What size boss and how much was the boss for the steering wheel :)

Haha back when your car was high! And I got the wheel and boss for 130, the boss you need is about 50 on ebay I think.

Pictures from stancism on the weekend. Excuse the rear arch gap, was parked on a slope so one side was just sitting on tyre.

Trying to solve the silly amounts of tuck up front. Got some 15mm spacers. But had to raise the car 10mm, and still scrubs anywhere near full lock so need to roll the arches! One of the pictures below shows how it started eating the tyre after 1 mile at the original height aha.

Also got some cleaning goodies. A DAS-6 DA polisher and the autofinesse package as well as some other bits and bobs.

Finally, I bought my mates snap off boss as it brings the wheel a bit closer to me and means you can actually use the armrest on the door.

Cheers people!

this is banging man :)

quick question!

with the rear camber, have you got camber shims in or a couple washers behind the hub?

and how badly does it eat tyres? :lol:

Shims dude. Bit of a bitch to fit as the ABS gets in the way slightly, had to cut around it. This led to me having a bit more than the -1.5 deg camber it says they do. I ended up with -3.5 deg. And I've got about -1 deg toe to match it which makes up for the camber slightly in tyre wear. With no toe at all it would be a fuck load worse. :)

seems to have paid off though!

i was just thinking of chucking in a couple washers behind the hub, not as accurate as shims but by the sounds of it, a darn sight easier ahaha :)

i take it you got it all laser aligned once you'd fitted them?

Yeh I got it tracked to get the front sorted and to check out how the rear was sitting. Washers are fine too. One washer on whichever bolt it is will give less camber than me, while two on one of the bolts and one on the other will give a little more than mine. At least thats how it appears.

oh right okay. yeah because my mate had 3 washers on one bolt and it ate tyres every two weeks ahaha, which is exactly what i don't want to do!

Yehh that would happen aha. Basically I think you need a little bit of toe in to compensate for the camber. And it helps with tyre wear a little.
