Rear hubs rebuilt (again). Rear suspension optomised for the 295s. Adjusted the bump stop hieght 20mm higher. And adjusted the ride hieght 10mm lower. Net result is a 10mm higher ride hieght with a bout 50mm travel until bump stop on compression. And about 60mm travel to full droop. Wound the rear track out 5mm per side. And increased rear wheel base about 5mm rearward. 5mm spacers fitted. Heat gunned the arch and slightly massaged the front area to allow clearance. Currently maxed camber. Might dial it back a bit. (Camber does straighten as the wheel travels down wards. It looks extreme because its at full bump.

Heres the end result when at full compression. Actual ride hieght will be 50mm from there. Fronts should hopefully have similar results.

PS. Why cant i post in the DIY section. I was going to do a detailed write up about the proper way of adjusting coilovers, but im locked out? Oh wells. PRWXs loss.

Car is looking great. Hopefully the DIY section issue can be sorted out, would be good to read your guide.

Almost seems a shame to flat spot those beautiful big tyres, but do it anyway!

Yeqh. It says i dont have permission to post or something. Pretty lame. I can understand some parts of the forum being off limits to non paying members etc. But making the DIY section unable to post in is about as gay as 2 dicks bumping into each other inside Freddy Mercurys throat.

Tial 30r Vband housing turned up in the post today. Went with the 0.82AR. Which if according to the approximate conversion to CM^2. Should make it just a little bigger than the Blouch 10cm housing. But im hoping it be a bit more efficient with the lack of internal wastegate up the turbine entry and the overall smoother sexier finish.

That looks great. Will make tuning your target power easy with v-band housings. I like the v band shape too as it looks like it flows better into the turbine.

Here is a sizing chart.
