Recently my clutch has been strange. B series hydro clutch - which is relatively new (less than 1 year). When I'm driving the clutch gets progressively firmer as I drive/as the car is warmer. Also along with being firmer there is less and less play when the clutch is fully out. This seems to...

Not sure. The car has been tracked, but could have it a pothole? Anyways, I took the car to my mechanic for a look. He told me the left side (the side where i thought i had a caster problem) is actually within spec and it's the RIGHT hand side which is off.

Here is my alignment specs for reference

Hi guys, Just got my wheel alignment done and the technician told me my passenger side wheel had a little more caster than the driver's side. We did a rough measure and its looking like the left wheel is sitting approx 5-10mm more forward than the left. The car still lines up good and does...

Good testing. I would be keen to see Blox Velocity Stack with Filter with a custom heatshield + Neptune dyno tuned. This should get you the highest gains.

Hi there, There is so much mis-information out there. Partly because most of the forums are US based. Do EK9s (both OBD2a and OBD2b versions) have an ELD? Cheers Talan

Ok i spoke too soon. Tightening the alternator belt has gotten rid of the votage drop under load but lights still dimming when under acceleration. Hmm...

OK found the problem. It my alternator belt wasn't tensioned to spec . This makes sense because when the car is under load the belt slips. Tightened it back up and now reading 14.1v with all the power draining electrics on. Alternator is in good condition. Thanks for your suggestions!

Right'o, have had a play with the multimeter. Results as below: - Car off: 12.1v - Car running and no electrics on: 14.4v - Car running, high beam on, A/C on, demister on, radio on loud: 12.7v - Car running and pulled -ve terminal off battery with high beam, A/C on, demister on, radio...

Yeah i will hook a voltmeter up. What i also noticed was if i have my air con on the dimming does not happen.

^^^yup pretty much the same. Harder to tell because ek9 red carpet

Do you guys never fill your tank to the top? Fill tank to top, reset trip meter. Next time fill up to top again and record how many km/miles you have done. Then apply some simple maths. Or... smartphone users get some fuel logging app :)

Strange problem. When I'm accelerating, lets say throttle position 30% I can tell the headlights are dimmer because when I back off the throttle or decelerate I can see the headlights are brighter (no brake applied). Anyone have/had a similar issue?
