I'll cruise up for a bit. What time do you plan on getting there?

Slick · 05-31-2013, 11:55 PM

I would try to keep it under -2, maybe 1.8 or 1.9?

The other thing I did not mention is that I kinda cheated a bit on the camber bolts, as I dremeled (sp?) the hole by another 2mm to give me more camber.

So you may be very close to the ideal camber once those two are installed.

What are you aiming at for toe settings?

Sorry I had to go at 10:00 last night - I went to see F&F6 at the Collesium.
I was worried about the parking but I found a nicely-lot corner spot and my buddy backed me up on the other side

Lots of action in the movie pretty much just like the trailers pretty wild and you have to leave reality at the door lol
Interesting that they filmed a lot in London
Gina Careno is in it - she can't act but she's easy on the eyes and has some wicked fight scenes

We paid the $14 AVX (?) to see it - I hadn't been to a movie for years so I guess it was worth it but I wouldn't want to do that too often ($$$$)
So I'll simply give it a 'thumbs up' it was a fun 2hours

I don't know. What do you have / recommend? Thanks!

For toe, try going with:

1/8" toe OUT on front (total, not per side) (roughly 0.20 in degrees)

Some recommend zero toe all the way around but I like a bit of toe-out on the front as it helps with turn-in. Plus it will be a bit more stable and not too darty.

Zero toe on rear

You could also go with 1/16" of toe-in on the rear to make it more stable as well. Just make sure there is no toe-out on the rear.

Phil will do a great job for you at CTC Carling (& Ralf too of course but request Phil to do the work).

Oh, and Phil would probably know this, but make sure you go to Maximum Caster as well.

Drove through a little rain outside of Casselman tonight.

Rain was so hard that the HVAC developed a leak on the passenger side. Filled a large McD's cup in about a half hour.

Forgive me if this noob question, is this a reoccuring issue? [Looking to purchase FR-S] I searched forum and found nothing relating to HVAC leaks. I've had leaks before in my HVAC on a previous vehicle but it was due to a clog in the AC drainage line and it backed up and caused leak into the passenger footwell area.

Very strange, never had it leak before.

I've read about it here once before, and under similar circumstances if I recall correctly. I believe it was a case of too much water and the drain was unable to keep up.

Go the fa20club stage 2 tune and a map for e85... First tank tomorrow...big gains from e85 I've heard

vignesh · 06-03-2013, 11:28 AM

Any reason why the borla headers much cheaper than other headers on the market

Didn't know they were.... But I'm happy with them and borla generally makes a quality product.....may be cheaper because they are cattless

brz2013 · 06-03-2013, 06:12 PM

Running my first tank of e85 on the fa20 tune...wow what a difference!!

Please be careful when running e85, I am seeing a lot of issues with consistent e85 use (the fuel filter cant handle it long term and will deteriorate)
