Today I decided to have a look at tweaking my car a bit more.
First stop was an exhaust shop..

This is very noisy (too much attention for my liking) as its a small muffler and lets be honest its not set up that well...
The pic on the right is the proposed new muffler and rear section set up.
This is a custom made larger muffler made to suit the dimensions of that area to maximise
noise reduction while not hindering flow. Will look a lot tidier and be cheaper as not as many unnecessary bends everywhere.
Still waiting on the quote to get this done but I'm liking the look of it a lot more than my current one.
But he will be making use of most of the mandrel bends and etc already being used so should be a bit cheaper.
Oh and I'm getting a track pipe made as well
Next stop was coffee
Then was to Bridgestone to sort out the wear issues I'm having with my rear.
Wheel Alignment was the port of call from them to see if they can see whats wrong.
Below is the sheet with my current set up:
Now as you see my rear is pretty messed up...
Right side is maxxed out at -0.3 and the left is pulled in all the way but sits at -1.7
According to these guys there is no way to align the rear any better...
The left wheels shoulder is almost bald due to the amount of camber!
Apparently if the control arm or as such was bent it would be quite obvious so the only answer is that the chassis is bent
Not the best news I've heard.
Went to a chassis straightening place to see their oppinion and they said it would cost $200 for them to measure it up and
see how much out it is and then the cost can only be figured out from there depending on how bad it is...
Would this be worth it? They said at most it could cost around $800 so im thinking i should...
Opinions muchly appreciated! Thanks
