Liam_D Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 Yesterday i gave the car a bit of well needed attention. Finally managed to sort the alignment issue by getting the car on the alignment booth at work and giving it a bit of negative camber, and adjusted the Toe in to reduce tyre wear as much as i can. Car feels a lot happier on the road now, no more pulling to the left all the time, and no more understeer under hard cornering. Which i am defiantly happy about. Also managed to sort out a slight coolant leak that ive had since i changed the Rad hoses over. The leak was caused by a very rusty hose clamp which to be honest wasnt really doing a lot. Also a little Picture i took from my works car park the other day. You reckon theres much difference?? lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Liam_D Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 Not really much of a exciting update but finally recieved and fitted my Cusco Rear strut brace today, havent had a chance to test it yet as the weather has been truly shocking recently ;) Apoligises for rubbish picture quality but i only had my phone to hand!!One problem i have now though is that since fitting it, there is a creeking coming from the rear everytime the suspension moves (cornering and speedbumps etc...) so ill be taking a look at that tomorrow, does anybody have any ideas what that could be?? Also the new induction kit and cold air feed are fitted and in place, just waiting on the final piece to the puzzle and then ill upload the pics. This has made such a difference to driving the car im now in love with it again. Its just a thirsty bitch now though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
