LittleRedSpirit Posted June 16, 2010 Author Report Posted June 16, 2010 Do you run a external pressure pump and surge tank setup in your car? If so would you be able to put some pictures up? Thanks mate! I use an intank pump in a baffled ae86 fuel tank. There is no external fuel system to speak of, too untidy for me.
Jesseb369 Posted June 20, 2010 Report Posted June 20, 2010 What springs do you have in the rear. I'm looking to get mine a bit low in the next coming weeks, what brand are they etc etc. Thanks matt.

I'm looking to get mine a bit low in the next coming weeks, what brand are they etc etc. Thanks matt. I honestly do not know the exact specs or origin of my rear springs. I bought them second hand from someone that didn't use them much. They feel like maybe 3.5-4 kg but still too stiff for me, I'm thinking about going softer and a touch longer.
Jesseb369 Posted June 20, 2010 Report Posted June 20, 2010 the stock ones are so soft i can compress them with my hand! i was gonna go maybe 5kg/mm and about 200 something millimeters so it is lowish but not VN commodore choppies low

See how that goes. I might redo some front struts in the long run to give more height adjustment.
Jesseb369 Posted June 20, 2010 Report Posted June 20, 2010 aprox how much sag do you have with your current setup?
LittleRedSpirit Posted June 20, 2010 Author Report Posted June 20, 2010 aprox how much sag do you have with your current setup? Not as much as I had with the cutties and its not enough. I don't know about a measurement.
Jesseb369 Posted June 20, 2010 Report Posted June 20, 2010 ahh righto. just gotta ask around for some different opinions and settings for my car . thanks for your help
mungi mods Posted June 20, 2010 Report Posted June 20, 2010 (edited) then there were 4 other pair of Southernway rims are now finished and awaiting delivery , tyres then Drags ;) Edited June 20, 2010 by mungi mods
LittleRedSpirit Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Posted June 21, 2010 then there were 4 other pair of Southernway rims are now finished and awaiting delivery , tyres then Drags :jamie: Yes indeed and they look as great as the others. I'm having tyres swapped around first thing in the morning. Then I need to do something with the gaurds if I'm actually going to use them at Willowbank. I'm getting a wheel alignment last thing Wednesday arvo before heading out. I'm using my 35% worn front tyres on the rear, and the new pair that Terry put on the new rims on the front as steerers. I like the idea of the rears being the softer of the two tyres and also the smaller diameter seeing as how its worn some more. Should look phat! Cheers Terry for dropping over the wheels for me. Legend. So tomorrow its tyres swapped around, then finish the shift lights off and maybe even have a launch light too, see how it goes launching at 5500rpm. :jamie: Beerhead I wanna race that Camry!
LittleRedSpirit Posted June 23, 2010 Author Report Posted June 23, 2010 So I got a lot done in preparation for the test and tune only to see it is cancelled tonight. I have the new rims on the front and the tyres on the rears ready to go. Shift lights hooked up and the wheel alignment done. My backyard wheel alignment wasnt too bad. Camber was 2.1/2.5. Caster was near enough to correct, and the toe was way off, 6mm out, and it was pointed slightly left.
beerhead Posted June 23, 2010 Report Posted June 23, 2010 Camry now purr's it's on when we manage a dry night. Need to track down a helmet hey.
LittleRedSpirit Posted June 24, 2010 Author Report Posted June 24, 2010 you can borrow mine brad.. more pics Been thinking about converting to Wilwood pedal arrangement thats all concealed under the dash. Throwing the booster away. Then running a sweet airbox over the throttles to make it a bit more silent. Hmmmmmmmmm. Not a very expensive exercise, but a little tricky.
