already been told ive wrecked the looks of the cav now by putting these on f lol i knew they were going to like marmite lol
but at the end of the day who do we mod our cars for ?? ourselfs not others![]()
Looking great mate, where did you get those replacement bearings/rubbers for the prop shaft as I could do with some of them.
Also what's your rear camber like with those bushes you fitted? I have the powerflex one but there is still stacks of neg camber hence me pulling the 4x4 fuse.
i had my prop recon'd by a company called bar props up by me buddy
mines locked and my camber aint that bad now tbh dude, you say you fitted the powerflex bushes? can you move them to set the camber?
and my bushes can be turned to pull wheels straight or to kick them out for camber etc
take it yours aint locked if your pulling fuse19 buddy
heres pic of my camber kit
see mine hole is off center so you can turn the bush buddy

Ain't that bad? does that mean to say there could still be some improvement?
Yeah I have the powerflex ones but they're not very good at all I think it's just down to the design of the bush as the hole is offset with a stainless sleeve which isn't knurled or anything to stop movement
I have picked up some used kmac bushes which are pretty much same as your ones but yet to fit, I was going to do the mod on the rear subframe at the same time to improve camber (drill new mounting/pivot) points.
when i said it aint tha bad,
i meant im still running some camber on the rear not as much as it was as when i first dropped her 60mm the rear kicked right out
cav handles well tbh can thro it any were

tonight i had a mate make me a rear mount as i was fuked off with the amount it moved and that was with a new mount
fits like the oem mount but 100 times stronger
cav feels so much better when changing gear now

Nice mod, i've seen something similar done on a Renault forum for R5 turbos using a V8 cotton reel
can see why they do it dude
works a treat tbh and the £2.50 each and the plate was free so all good![]()

nice car pal, must admit everytime i see a cav like this it makes me wanna put my engine in 1 cuz they look smart as, liking the wheels aswell. that mount looks good, could do with something like that for the corsa
Nice mount mate, might looking into making one for the astra.
