green_goblin Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 Well i phoned Graeme from Whiteline and went up to get the car all set up........all i can say is he went out of his way to get my car in before i went offshore and really really knows his stuff!! Had a few issues though as some bits and bobs were really seized up but the main problem being BC supplying the wrong bottoms on my coilovers (Seems to be for a later model) as the holes for the camber bolts are 14mm and the bolts are 12mm so when trying to adjust the camber etc it doesn't adjust nothing like it should ......so now i need to contact BC to get them to send me the correct bottoms for FREE as they have supplied the wrong ones!!!! But Graeme got the car set up as best he could and to tell you the truth the car felt the best its ever felt so far on the way home!!! I just cant wait to get the coilovers changed out and go back to get it setup even better BUT the one thing that really gets on my wick is that i had the coilovers on the car when i went to Falkland performance to get a setup a while ago.......and they said nothing about the issues with the coilovers.......also with all the bits seized up the way it was, just what did they adjust????!!! But anyway i will say no more about that!! So anyway BIG BIG thanks to Graeme at Whiteline for all the good advice and the great work he done on my car P.S Good to meet you HI JAC.....good to put a face to the name

Will catch up with you at the next event

Is it mapped yet?
green_goblin Posted November 30, 2009 Author Posted November 30, 2009 Nah ive only done about 500 miles in it but just got sent offshore so slow progress there
dark Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Didn't realise Whiteline did customer alignment setups! I went up there to pickup an ALK and Graeme was great at showing me around their race car and explaining what I needed to do to achieve optimum setup and the necessary alignment targets. Only problem now is that despite fitting BC's my car still has a knock / clunk from the nearside rear when I hit a pothole. I thought this was the old OEM STI strut problem but obviously not! The rest of the time it's great, just wish I could get this noise sorted! Any suggestions? Going back to the garage on Wednesday........ Mark
