Dude... my Calibra had silly camber on it for 12 months, with 18"s... and it never caused an issue! Same with my last one.

Just drive it [img]/smile.gif[/img] But I know what you mean I've nearly had it with mine... gonna sledgehammer the ****er if it doesn't stop p*****g oil out.

What else is wrong with yours?

CAMBER ( is the biggest problem) and setup.
the rear springs and the lack of coilage lol
fuse 22 keeps blowing on a 15a fuse not a 10a and i dont know why [img]/sad.gif[/img]
light switches for the doors dont work
door pins need changing
2 tiny rust spots



I know they aint major its just i aint no mechanic and having to get my mate over to look at the problems makes me feel like all he does in his spare time is fix my damn car, he doesnt mind but if i was in his boat it would get to me [img]/sad.gif[/img]

So apart from that rear spring problem there's nothing stopping it driving safely? Don't worry about the camber!

And we all have tiny rust spots... my slam panel is bubbling, and so is the bottom of one of the doors. Does that make you feel better? Nobody has a perfect car!

i know that an 11 year old car wont be perfect but in case you havent notice im a perfectionist lol the car is booked into the bodyshop to have the 2 tiny rust marks sorted out lol. I guess once the springs are changed and the suspension setup i would be able to drive it [img]/smile.gif[/img]
I love my car its just ive had it sitting on the drive for nearly 3 weeks now not being about to drive it due to incorrect springs ( twice ) and damaged wheels etc

camber is an issue.. its not worth the risk to the TXB or the tyres, bad camber can wreck a set of rear tyres by wearing the inside edges, also puts strain on the txb clutch as the VC will always be very hard due to the differing rolling radius

It's a wonder I've done over 100k in various Calibra Turbo's all lowered with no problems then?

[Rusty_CallyT]

no wear on the inside edges of the tyres at all? find that hard to believe, why do people like stu correct their camber then?

[ice]

correctiong ive tried to correct my camber lol -1.5 and -2.0 i guess isnt bad when it was -6 before the adjustment lol
