Hi effvee

I've done a bit of a build thread on this site, try searching my user name. I went 100 forward because I fitted a G50 transmission. A angry SVX motor in a bug would sound insane:D

Steve

That also sounds insane in a 2-door impreza:

I usually don't like/understand subaru motors in bugs (putting it mildly), but that motor when tuned, is something else!

Hi

I've corrected my excessive toe.

A local drag racer Dangerous Dave Butler made an offer to make these units on AussieVeedubbers. He was aiming at using them to raise the pivot point for radically lowered cars.

I fitted them with the pivot point as far back as possible, I was then able to pull the arms forward on the spring plate to get the toe out corrected, I still had to move the arms beyond the Porsche adjusting position with a big screw driver.

Glad to see they worked steve and the issue is finally rectified. Is DB gonna stock them or just make them on request?

Hi Ron

DB will make them to order, you need to send him your bushes, bolts and 2 washers

Steve

Does the problem still exist when uniball setup is used?

Hi

I'm not sure if the uniball would cure the issue, I was moving the trailing arm forward to correct the toe in, it was in a position way beyond the normal Porsche adjustment. It still is pushed way forward with these offset bolts but not as severe.

Nobody else seems to have a this problem as severely as me.

Steve

Steve, do you think your chassis might have got warped when you cut the splined section out of the torsion housing?

Hi Rich

That thought has crossed my mind.

Steve

Those who had the issue and had an alignment job - what toe out was mesured degree wise out of interest? I am coming up to doing mine and will be interesting to see the difference - if any- compare to you guys. especially as i did an IRS conversion opposed to a factory IRS'd floorpan

Cheers

I just measured mine and the best i can get it 2 degrees toe out :shocked:

looks like i'l have to get some adjustable inner pivots made.

Maybe it's something to do with the ally arms?

It does seem that way with so many people having the same issue.
i read somewhere a while ago that marco mansini had made adjustable inner pivots but cant find it anywhere now :(

haha i dont believe it. he is only 25 mins from where i live!

thanks rich i think il be making a call/visit!
