Recently made a trip to Heasmans Steering to get my coilover and camber sorted. I wanted the rear raised a touch and the camber to be even on all sides (the left had more camber dialled in than the right for whatever reason). The left rear was a touch lower than the other side and every time there was a big dip in the road, the wheel would scrub on the passenger side only.
Doug measured up the coilovers and firstly made sure that all 4 corners were set at the same height. Then, he dialled in around -3 camber for the rear and -1.5 at the front. Now, no more scrub issues!
This sweet R35 GTR was getting some suspension work done too...
Heasmans always seems to have nice cars such as this Camaro and a Shelby Cobra putting out 1000hp! You can also see peeking out a Fiat Abarth 695 SS peeking out from the side
With the suspension finally being sorted and no scrubs (haha TLC >D), decided to give the car a wash. I was running low on car shampoo and other car wash products so I recently went a bit nuts and bought a bunch of products by DodoJuice from CarCareProducts.
Gave the car a wash using the DodoJuice "Born to be Mild" shampoo. I used to use Duragloss before this but I found this to be just as good. Very strong concentrate.
Also used the DodoJuice "Ferrous Dueller" and sprayed it on the wheels. This is meant to lift of any iron or brake dust deposits and it will turn purple after about five minutes of spraying as it dissolves the iron fallout/brake dust. It was really quick and easy. Just spray, wait 5-10 minutes for it to do its thing and then rinse off.
After drying the car, I applied the DodoJuice "Red Mist" detailer, which is a synthetic spray sealant meant to give existing wax layers an extra layer of protection as well as improving the water beading characteristics. Also used the DodoJuice "Clearly Menthol" glass cleaner a go. Streak free and smells quite nice. Very impressed with the DodoJuice range.
Finally, added a small detail to the car which I think looks great

Big fan of this, must admit though the wheels and bonnet vents are not for me. :happy2:

Few new additions coming to the car :
1) Will be ditching my trusty DEFI gauge in place of this P3 vent gauge with blue/white dials from the group buy (thanks Frazza)
2) OZ Futura 18" wheels. Going to rebuild these. Overall very good condition with little to no blemishes on the face of the wheel however it will require a respray. Planning on keeping these as OEM as possible so will prob respray in silver. One barrel has a very very tiny crack on the edge of the barrel (about 0.5cm) but easily fixed, and the lips are worn so they will be replaced with some brand new polished lips. Some TLC and care will be needed to bring these wheels back to life. Current specs are 18x8 +35 and 18x9 +45, but after rebuilding, final specs will be 18x8.5 +40 all round, which should theoretically sit quite flush and still be functional for daily driving purposes.
Pic for reference. Should look like this when completed :
3) Still looking for some BBK's, namely TTRS/RS3 brakes. Haven't had the chance to measure up other brands such as AP/Alcon/Brembos but I'm in no rush...
VW OEM+ Parts:
Man this thing looks good! Those OZ Futura's will really set it off!
Let us know how you get on with the P3 Gauge :ashamed:
