NOCK Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) Never once said they were there are 1.0 lupos on here that are 10x better than my car as it's said in my members cars thread it's a work in progress! I Like it n with work it will be how I want it. N if that takes another 5-10 grand then so b it it's a project car and it's already got alot of things going for it so Ur opinions are quite happily not wanted kinda makes me think y ppl ask for help on here wen there's ppl like u who Mock, take the piss then play it all down as banter I Neva asked your opinion about the lupo so keep it!When you can spell properly and type intelligible sentences I may take some advice from you. Until then, do not make comments about people being jealous as most aren't. I'm sure you love your car which is great and I have no doubts in how good it could be if you are happy to put money into it. You're welcome to ask questions (preferably typed in English rather than text spk). But sometimes, questions are so simple to find the answer to on google and so asking them on here can make you look like a bit of a wally.I described it as banter because it WAS banter. It's called having a joke, so calm down.Good luck with your progress-I'd be asking for my money back from that garage though as some of your values are actually worse AFTER the 'alignment' was done.

AlexTRea Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I don't really understand why you insulted his grammar or knowledge. So he is a little less clues up on camber and toe. If he has never came across it before how do u expect to know what it is. It's called Learning. Every one does it. It's not as if you could pick up an SA80 A2 rifle and know how to use it. Yet I don't mock u. The reason he asked for help is to help himself expand his knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pretty unfounded comparison really. Your uses of 'u' is rather irritating too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexTRea Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Yes but I was using it as an example. And my most sincere apologies for not being able to please you sir. Just because some one doesn't understand something does not give you the right to take the Mick out of them. And I'm pretty sure camber is something physical as it is on a car.

I've not got a problem with you or anything, I just like a bit of banter. And to be fair, I think I was the first person to try and answer your question? Let's hope the garage sort it out this time, as having uneven camber and toe values will wear your tyres unevenly, which is never good. Good luck.

V3 1UPO Posted February 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Like I said in my last comment I'm over it! But a little common courtesy to people asking for help as in helping them, or trying to help them. Other than saying or implying that there thick or look on google would go alot further! thanks for latter comment. And I'm hoping they can sort my car out and fix the issues I have other than that I think it cud be bent hubs or possibly something else which I'm hoping it's not. As dont need the hassle!Gareth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

si_leeds Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 jesus christ no wonder when you mention club lupo to people at meets etc. they say its full of pricks!how come everytime someone asks a geniune question they just get "google it" or "google is your friend" if you knopw the answer then why not tell the lad? iv asked a number of things and people have just said google it or use the search function, search function shows everything with the word in it so if you dont have time to trawl through the back log of people who have used the word "camber" in a thread its much easier to ask someone!i thought this was a friendly forum where we could help eachother out with various types of knowledge etc. not just shoot someone down for spelling or not understanding camber, **** me i wouldnt understand that sheet neither!

LiamD Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 If the garage are being tossers try taking it to North Eastern Tyres in Brotton. I know it's a bit of a treck from Yarm/Stockton but they are good. Done all my lowered cars and a few mates no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V3 1UPO Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Cheers Liam, in all honesty there bein excellent with it told me to bring it back with the bolts I need and they will get it as close to 0 as they can cheers for the advice thoGareth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penry Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Man this thread has made the forum users look like a right bunch of cockerals. This guy has got a car with a lot of time and effort in it, shoot him down for not knowing the ins and outs, we all started somewhere! Those camber readings are basically all over the shop - -5degrees is BAD, -3 isnt better at all. Minus 1 degree on the front is acceptable from a handling setup point of view, but ideally 0 as it is basically neutral. Often with the cheaper sets there is no adjustment on the bolt holes, on my supersports i had to use a round file and elongate the holes to give more adjustment to the hub - sorted it right out Good luck mate, and i for one am envious. This must be an absolute weapon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V3 1UPO Posted February 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Well the loop is finally going in the garage Tomoz to get the tracking and camber sorted out, been a while but it's the first real chance Iv had lol the guy promises me it will be sorted so I will see just remembered I also managed to get some black interior bits, centre console, passenger side and both rear cubbyholes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gib_ Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 why does the guy want new shock bolts? if your replacing them with genuine parts there going to be exactly the same. Try getting some camber bolts, they have a cam in and you can adjust the amount equally. Or if your shocks are similar to mine the bottom bolt hole is elongated so all they need to is loosen the two bolts, pull the hub out and retighten the bolts. and should be okay.If your caster is out, the only way is to get adjustable top mounts. iirc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
