    I distroyed the orgional sub frame in this car, split 3/4 the way around it

     

    had this one in and out a few times but I really can not see how it could be adjusted, when them 2 big bolt go in there is no moving it anywhere at  all

     

    i have heard ears this with ford sub frames as well but again I can not see anyway it could be adjusted at all

     

    The car tracks nice and straight so I’m not concerned

    Immorality there 18 by 8 @ 40p and 18 by 10 @ 31p

     

    what would they made of if you printed them Gary ??

     

    Yes this one has worked out well

     

    something that was odd that I mentioned to Gary on a phone call a while back was left and right off sets want to be different

     

    on drivers side it wanted to be 29p and passenger side wanted to be 33p

     

    that is to keep a 295 tyre in exact centre with like 6 mm clearance from the inner gaurd where back seat would be on other side of it and highest point of outer gaurd

     

    dont know if it’s just my car or if they are all like that but myn was

    Go no idea how they handle yet

     

    Car doesnt get driven in the wet and if it ever suprise rains on me i baby it home so will never know about the wet

     

    In the dry they are a bit of a track tyre so will be interesting how they handle

    I have twisted that camber kits around matching it to other side and twisting them seeing what there measurments are when in different posistions when measuring tyres and at the moment it is cambered in 5mm more then drivers side witch i havent touched

     

    I have also pulled pulled front struts in to about 3 degrees as i have adjustable top mounts

     

    Because the car gets driven so little im goin to run a bit of camber on it something like 2+ degrees as i really couldnt give a shit about tyres and would prefeer handling

    Yes centre caps are in the works

     

    Goin to get mate leon to machin me some up and goin to get imbroidery mod to engrave HSV symbol into them

    245 front

    275 rear

     

    rear has 15mm clearance both sides of tyre so could easily fit 285 and could just squeeze a 295 under it

    Thanks everyone, hopefully tyres turn up tomorrow then I can get it in for wheel alignment and check my clearances

    with my measurements  I think I can get 255 under the front and 295 under the rear with the next tyres once these ones are stuffed

    I admire all the work you have done and it has turned out really well but I just can not figure out why

     

    sure yeah because you have a VY look alike with a 304 but that’s a actually a fearly big step backwards from a normal VY SS with a LS1

     

    but that’s not for me to worrie about, you have done really well with what your doin and put in a huge effort

    Looks like it would be easier to just make a set of pipes

     

    your a plumber, it’s your job just get a heap of 45 and 30 degree bends and start cutting and welding
