*Quick Update*

Sourced a set of 15mm spacers for rear. Its looking alot better as the wheels aren't sunk deep in the arch anymore.

Only issue is the rubbing when loaded and driving over a bumpy road... Last weeks trip to durbz makes me wana change to 10mm spacers. But we'll see.

Heres the before shot

15mm looks good bru, dont change to 10 :praise:

Thanks Ray... The rubbing though:thumbdo:


I did say I'll post a pic of my graph once i get the car on the rollers.

So today i got a chance to pop into KAR. Its quite daunting putting your baby on those rollers for the first time. All that was going thru my head was "please God dont let anything break"

2 runs and a few seconds later it was all over.

I think she did quite well for software only.

How bad is it and how often do you drive with a load?
If theres no damage to your tires, just leave them as is :rollsmile:

Tyres ended up with minor damage after durban... Thats the main reason.

Such a catch 22:YesNo:

That's some serious power:clapper:


How is the amount of smoke under normal use?

Thanks Guys...

General regular driving doesnt see much smoke. Had a friend drive behind me the other day to giv proper feed back. Light to moderate acceleration sees a little puff and then its gone. From about 75% acceleration the puff gets bigger and continues. Full acceleration has a cloud following behind u:rollsmile:

It used to bug me. But im over it now.

I unfortunately didnt dyno the car before getting the software done. This was my first time there.

Will b interesting to see what it does after the downpipe

That's good news. I don't want to send smoke signals all the time.

How is the fuel consumption looking?

Work and back is around 70km with 65ish of highway. That coupled with going to the shops and fetching the kids sees me average 6.8 to 7l/100km.

Down to durbz and back with cruise control gets me to 5.9 or 6l/100km

That's very good numbers.

Looks like SW is a win all across the board.:coolShake:
