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

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

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

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

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
