I had a lower arm bent by nearly an inch, that doesnt help handeling, however helps to roll your guards. No idea how it happened. Does you car track all over the place when braking at lights on main roads etc? My ute track width must be odd as on busy roads at braking points before lights gets all over the place if this makes sense. I am told the wide wheels make your car slightly wider than average car and doesnt sit in the grooves that cars have worn into road?

lol u should drive my 80series with the 35’s

Yep makes sense. I should double check mine.

Mine were painted. Not powder coated tho.

Can you take a photo of what your talking about exactly?

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Looks like it’s running warm

What these things really need is more rigidity in the body pan/chassis but unfortunately there is no simple answer. Race cars solve the issue with a roll cage. The only option we really have is to get the body pan stitch welded in critical areas but again unless your aim is motor sports it’s probably not something most would think about. To me it looks like that front anti-roll bar is already on it’s hardest setting.

hehe. I got a few of those suggestions done. Hopefully she’s nice and tight 

 

fyi that’s the softest setting

What sort of front sway bars are on it?

Tony, Vsclubby355 has tein coil overs, and it handles like it’s on rails.

What coil overs are in yours?

Looks wickid mate. Any more photos of how lines a run?

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

+1 for a strut brace. They aren’t just for p platers. They do a lot.

Same concept as drop in bags

How unreliable is your car VH?

I don’t carry anything extra aside from a few fuses. I have RACV total care, anything more and I call.

Put in a running kettle and see if it opens.

Run what the factory t/stat is. It should be 180

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Re bleed the system and double check tstat is working correctly.

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Yeah that’s it mate. Marzella on those forum gas near identical setup to Aaron. Granted his running bananas.

at heathcote the biggest issue was heat soak after a run. In boosted application that’s when the bananas suffer IMO

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Well i clearly missed that point.

 

Anyways. Aaron only made an extra 20hp over the bananas changing to that.  Hardly worth the expense and time.

This car used a dual plane manifold with elbow and single throttle body covered up with the gutted top of an original banana manifold… (and a turbo to run 9.9’s)

ask him how much extra power the dual plane made over the Bananas and you will be surprised.

Would of thought the factory master/booster and abs does the correct proporting regardless of what the brakes are off.

Why you running a proporting valve gary? Yours is factory setup?

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

I have there 343mm kit. I’m happy with it. Could do with better pads tho.

However the owner is doopey mother fucker and I hope he chokes on a chicken bone

Boostless setup looks mint. I’ve always wanted to run one. But heard they aren’t the easiest to setup correctly and get working right. Keen to see some results.
