Re: The Heart Of Racing - EG Hatch time attack build from Australia
Looking good so far!
Looks like BWR used a similar design to skunks version 1 camber kit. I'd install at least some star washers on those bolts as the version 1 skunks were prone to slipping and these don't look like they'd be any different. Might also consider switching them out for something else.
Great build so far though looking forward to see the rest of the build!

Re: The Heart Of Racing - EG Hatch time attack build from Australia
you might just want to upgrade to skunk2 pro balljoints.

They are a lot easier to adjust from the bottom when on a 4 post alignment rack as the allen bolts can be reached with a very long extension and allen key socket.
This was the major gripe with the old design for us before; the car had to be raised and lowered to access the top mount bolts. The constant loading and unloading of the suspension eventually had some cutting access ports at the top of the shock tower for easier and accurate adjustments.
BLOX Racing has virtually the same style arms as the Skunk2 Pro model but cheaper (and silver in color) for those interested in upgrading from OEM arms and not looking to break the bank but have the same great adjustable nature....durability? Time will tell.

I think we'll just stick with what we've got for now. Wait till its on the track and we are able to see what works and what doesn't.

Re: The Heart Of Racing - EG Hatch time attack build from Australia
I'm interested in those UR bars. They look like a strong design as far as strut tower bars go. The trunk one is even more interesting utilizing 4 points. Maybe it's overkill but it makes me ponder. How much are those things? I went to their site and didn't see any prices.

Good luck with your life and that idea, just a sugestion but you might want to consider rethinking that plan!

Re: The Heart Of Racing - EG Hatch time attack build from Australia
I see nothing on the UltraRacing web site under technical specifications stating that it is approved for anything?
So you are telling us the car has passed a safety inspection and you already have a log book for this car and it is not even been completed yet?
