Yup, just notify me in advance next time so I don't miss it =P

Working on proper bolt on mounts for the logger now instead of the hack job we did with zipties and tape.

I know that Auckland Bearings do them quite cheap. Repack with nicer grease and you should be good as gold. (I use Amsoil, REDBEN I think used some other stuff that he had but I can't recall the name). Worth checking the type of grease seal they use on it; I know that the grease seal (hub side) of t...

That's what I've heard from some of the guys at work too. Some of the bumps apparently set up some weird ass harmonics.

If you want a data point, I have 500 lbs front springs and 400 lbs rear springs on valved for me Bilsteins. Plenty comfortable for my NA6, but some passengers sometimes complain on potholes. I have one of the Racing Beat hollow front bars as well. 400f/~300r would probably be best for road only use ...

Not with your current fuel setup Donovan. E85 is corrosive, you would need to change to a pump and filter system to suit it along with a tune and potentially a flexifuel sensor as NZs E85 has been known to be inconsistent. In short its best to stick with 95/98 octane unless you're really in need of...

Would be awesome if Hankook brought their RS3s to NZ.
Or BF Goodrich Rivals.

Haha I think quite a few of us are in that camp Ian (hoping for less weight than the car actually has).

At half tank with driver mine came to around 1048kg (with Daisies though.. I should put it on the scales with the 6ULs to see how big a difference they make).

Really liking the cage design on this. Should be an awesome series to keep an eye on provided decent fields. What regions were they going to release this series in again? Not just North America I hope....

Mine had a set screw that you can use to tighten the knob onto the actual shifter. I'll see if I can find it.

Finished putting in poly bushings into all the arms/uprights. Grease nipples on the control arms too (but not on the top rear arms because of the bracket there that it will interfere with at factory droop). Next step is to start putting the arms back and finally put in my Bilsteins. Pic of rear upri...

Stock rotors with no cross drilling etc (these reduce rotor and pad life and aren't needed for a mostly daily driven car).
