But even still thats not good enough will get that checked out..

I'd be checking the fuel filter & pump asap.

Lean (flatspot) = BOOM!!

Flat spot will be either lack of fuel or fucked AFM.
Got a Pod filter??

Getting Whiteline Anti Lift Kit fitted today.

ALPHA · #34 04-03-2009, 07:09 PM

Hmmm...

Not worth the $500 for the White line kit fitted.

$310 for parts, $100 for labour and $90 for the four wheel alignment.

Doesn’t even say White line on the invoice and I expected my front end to not lift at all when under acceleration...
It does lift, maybe a TINY bit less than stock. NOT WORTH $500

And whatever they did during the service has caused it to hesitate a second before the needle jumps, I can also hear this new squeal when in neutral and I tap the accelerator. Only for a split second then it’s normal...
That and when the air con/fans on I get this horrid smell of coolant coming in as if they have spilt coolant all over the engine bay and not washed it off.

So I'm a bit unhappy..

I'm going to call them tomorrow and see what they say.

saves to fit stuff yourself, DIY FTW!!!
that way you know its what you wanted, and how you wanted it!

try better suspension before you blame the ALK.

soft springs and bad rebound are always going to let the front lift.

I don't know why people call them anti lift kits. They do not stop the front end lifting, all they do is add aditional caster.

The term ALK comes from how this effects the dynamic of the vehicle under load.

and get rid of the pedders as soon as you can.
