I should easily be at same lock. Its the associated mods:
camber mods,
wheel/tyre sizes
lower arm mods


thats she **** i need to sort.. cos right now i could probably get as mad angle as that but it hits everywher.. lower amrs.. back wall of the wheel well.. on the inner skin at the top of hte well (under fuse box passenger side if that makes sense)


THATS the **** i need to sort asap. WAiting for JTP's LCA's hes been promising me to make.. APPARENTLY hes got more important **** like driving mustangs for falcon than do the work i need. bastard.

BUT i have literally today bought a treansporter so i can go mad camber etc and not worry about a set of fronts every 5 miles! lol

There's an inner circle of rotary/car people that dont share "everything". I think it has something to do with being more awesomer than other people.

awesomer? well they are failing.. Justin shared his and so did Essa and those two are the most successful (non-jap) FC drivers in drifting. so good luck with the secret society. If everyone shares and everyone experiments.. everyone gains. Then as FC drifters we can challenge S-Body lock which you can buy off-the-shelf here in the UK.

Ha sweet.. which one? I assume its the BDC vids. I got a recent 3rd place at Round 2 so theres a fair bit of the FC in there.. bumpers missing n all lol.

Thats just lazy and doesnt help the community. In the uk there are only 2/3 well known active drifters in FC's so we (i) get pm's every other day asking simular questions about where I sourced parts, custom mods etc.

I recently did a set of spindles for a homie, they came out too sick. Just cut the spindle at the point where it gets straight... Then round off the point where the tie rod tapers in. The trick is keeping the tierod from hitting the rotor.




You're welcome

I'm having a problem when I hit full lock on stock angle. The sidewall of the tire ends up hitting the inside lip of the fender, it catches on it and the metal begins to flare outwards. I bend it back in as much as I can it still happens. How can I fix this? Dial in some camber (currently at 0)? Try to roll the fender more? Stiffer front springs? Space the wheel out? (Currently at a +35 on an 17x8)

Halp.

Just never adjusted it, and it's a daily driver. How much should I dial in?

Even on a DD? Is that achievable with just camber plates or do I need to modify the bottom of the coilover?

Camber wont eat up your tires as bad as fucked up toe will. You'll be fine as long as your toe isn't bad.

Zenki, care to explain how that diff works? I've never welded or researched a welded clutch type, just open and open is full lock full time.

I'd like to guess he apply torque to the ring gear with the stub shafts clamped in a vice and then welded it? Seems like doing that would make it act like a really agressive 2 way but for cheaps. More info.
