Rear mate. It's not as much adjustment as you can get with 'proper' arms, but...

Basically, where the two bolts go from the camber arms (upper arms) to the chassis, add a spacer between the bolt and the chassis. When you tighten it up, it's got the spacer between the arm and chassis, so pushes the wheel outward a little. Never tried it (or even looked) at how the EP3 is set up, but imagine it's the same!

I thought it was a quite well known little trick :)

Fronts. Well that's a whole different story... The adjusters you can buy, are bolts with a lobe on, so I'm assuming the lobes just upsh the upper mount outward a little.

Yeah thats why I asked mate, with the way the camber arms are fitted to the rear of an EP3, the bolts go up into the chassis, so fitting a spacing washer wouldnt really do anything that you would notice I rekon. If they went in horizontally, then I could see it working.. ;)

I'll be buying arms then :P

Not had chance to get under it for a proper look yet though...

Still it's at -1.5 degress at the min, and thats a mojor inprovement, so when i get round to dropping it a bit, that should be more than enough :D

Liking the latest editions mate it's looking smart! I cleaned those wheels up at the weekend, when was the last time you cleaned them lol???!!! Even managed to get that carbon strip off fairly easily :) .

With the weather getting better mate any chance i could book you some time to wrap my bonnet if it's still ok? I've got a bit of time off at the end of April so was thinking bout coming up then?

So, got fed up of having silly odd coloured radio& cubby hole. And the stupid chrome around the gear gator....

So I've gone from this....

To....

The radio took AGES! What a royal pain.

But think it finishes the dash well.. Not perfectly patterned up, but really can't go through that again in a hurry!

Wrapped the chrome bit around the Gear Gator as I HATE chrome :)

And after much much much wrestling, the gear nob eventually came off. Not sure what the hell it was stuck on with, but i broke 2 oil filter wrenches (rubber strap ones) and eventually had to attack it with mole grips to get it off! I'll try to flatter the scratches etc out of the old one, and repaint / laquer it, but it's not looking great at the min...

Still, the carbon one is awesome, so much better in your hand than a ICE cold bit of titanium!

The I gets to thinking, I wonder if I can laquer up the wrap, to give it the high gloss real CF finish.

The didn't go well on first tests as I over did it with the laquer, and MELTED the wrap! WTF!

Got another idea which is being trialled today..... Hope it works as it will look lush in high gloss!
