and +ve camber during braking & turning to scrub more outer treads? although at that ride height ur prob resting on the bumpstops with zero suspension travel to barely induce any camber changes at all.
 
Had the great idea of using my suction cup phone mount on my sunroof as an incar camera... Didn't work very well on the first attempt.

sunroof glass ain't ideal cos it's got that black chequered bumpy finish, which lets air leak past & lose vacuum.

best use em on smooth clean surfaces like windscreen, side windows, rear screen, body panels

Yeah I know, I only remembered that once I almost destroyed my phone! The GoPro mount holds well on the sunroof :)

gotta wait until next christmas time to upgrade! 2 years no claims to play with if i dont doss by then and a year and halfish to save up for something!
 
Taxed and insured now, insurance worse than I thought as sky wouldnt insure me so webt with comparison site got it down to 2.5k plus a bit for paying monthly :(
But tax went better, I never sent the tax disc back so I just rang em up to see if I could actually unsorn it and use that and she said yes and then did it took longer to get through than it did to do it lol and didnt even take that long to get throuh, :) a nice suprise from dvla for a change :p just got to put engine in now and pray she works but now at least I know I can drive if I finish after insurance places and post office or dvla are closed :p
 
My first year was £400.. wanted £800 for my 2nd year... logic... and I never paid more than "450 a year since... everytime it goes down.. I add even more modifications
 
I removed some of the stickers from my car as it was looking a bit untidy. Also got my wind deflectors today (the correct ones this time!), so will be fitting those shortly.

Haha... once Nissanubaru is complete. This will have something a tad weird done somehow... independent rear suspension is the first thing going on it... but unlike my other cars... this will probably be sold once I've finished with it

So I made a decision... Some will hate it... Some will love it... Others will jump to conclusions... Others will simply ask why
BUT

Well the K11 is simply more popular these days and to fund the family dinner table I have to look into developing parts for the more popular car

The jumping to conclusions was aimed at the people that might think I'd been converted... I haven't... K10 is KING..
Though don't rule out RWD just incase

Independant rear suspension is interesting. How do you plan to do? I already think about it, with a rear subframe taking the oem fixation points.

Waiting for this !
 
Discovered that 75kg of topsoil makes much good lows...

I'm trying to avoid a rear subframe as it'll require modifications to the shell and as a kit form for the home mechanic that's out of the question.

Using only the 4 link points given by the shell in the form of potentially to custom made wishbones to accomodate proper coilover suspension and adjustability of toe and camber. Subsequently eliminating the use of a panhard rod and axle shift permanently :D

I'll not be able to reveal too much. It's a personal project for someone on here. Once they give the go-ahead I'm sure there'll be a thread or something explaining the design and use etc
