"Rear Camber Adjusting for 86-92"

 

[Keef]

I already know about the vertical link adjustment and it won't solve my problem. My problem is that the camber at both wheels are uneven. The vertical link moves the whole subframe and adjusts both sides the same amount. I need to replace my camber links (those silver things mounted at the front of the inboard Y-shaped semi-trailing arm) at each wheel in order to adjust both sides separately.

 

[speed junkie]

Ah, I see. so you need the adjustable camber link things. The weord lookinh ones. Yeah pretty expensive since you need two.

*BANG*

Nah.

Because Rotary.

 

[Anna+Reece]

You should probably replace the Apex Seals now.

 

[speed junkie]

8000+ rpms too cool to worry about apex seals.

 

[mazdaman]

Nope at that point all he is hearing is beeeeeeeeeeeeep lol. But the apex seals are just fine once the oil level isn't low and it's lubricating the seals he's fine.

 

[speed junkie]

Lol yeah that thing has no torque after 7000.

 

[Keef]

beeeeeeeeeeeeep

It was higher but it was backfiring like crazy over 8500 at part-throttle. Doesn't do it at full-throttle. No power up there but it's smooth as butter. Needs a port job...

 

[CodeRedR51]

Ah yeah, the beeeep. Heard that quite a few times...

 

[Keef]

I still had 1.5 gallons left. I'm scared to run it empty lol.

 

[Joey D]

Jesus, how big is your tank?

 

[Thatman]

Its crazy huge, my S4 has a 16.6 gallon tank. Also my fuel light is broke, and I'm under instruction to not boosting under a 1/4 tank anyway. What were the MPGs?

 

[mazdaman]

I pray I don't have to pay that much besides I'm going through a problem no dash lights nor gauges work. But hey it's a quick fix a fuse change

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

My SE also has a crazy big gas tank, 16 gallons I believe. I guess Mazda realized how ****** the mileage was and decided to match at least the range of competitors.

 

[mazdaman]

Gotta love our rotaries lol

 

[Keef]

Hmm, how do we match the 944's range? Oh, we'll give it an 18.5 gallon tank like a Tahoe! I recently drove a solid 440 miles on one tank at 72 + highway shenanigans to visit Speed Junkie and Perfect Balance.

 

[Keef]

These photos have much better contrast on my iPhone. They're all Instagram btw, it's my new life.

 

[Punknoodle]

My god those RPF1s fit nicely. Nice shots


Edit: Drawbacks of running so much negative camber too, I see..

 

[Joey D]

That's some serious camber wear.

 

[motortrend]

Cool plate

 

[speed junkie]

I see some bad toe wear and camber wear.

 

[Thatman]

I remember driving the Fc in the snow...those were the days...

 

[Keef]

I wonder if anybody noticed that these pics tell the story of how I was convinced to put my snow tires on.

 

[speed junkie]

Broe, snow tires are awesome. It was about time.

 

[Perfect Balance]

I wonder if anybody noticed that these pics tell the story of how I was convinced to put my snow tires on.

Post the one of you stuck in someone's yard after the snow tires were put on. That one will tell the story of how you were convinced to quit driving like a jackass.

 

[speed junkie]

Lol Keith get on our level broe.
