Hey guys,

SPL A-Arms are the best in the business. One look at these things in person will tell you these are not some cheap mass made Chinese knock off. They are CNC cut from billet aluminum and are a pure work of art. They feature 'shim blocks' that allow you to change camber accurately and quickly by between -2.5deg to +1deg over natural camber. Read here for more info.

I bought these off a forum member about 6 months ago:

Unfortunately, in my distraction in talking to the seller when I picked them up I overlooked the fact that the hemispherical joints had a fair amount of play in them and one of the bolts had been crossthreaded and then remachined leaving it much smaller than the other side. So not wanting to put something in my car that could be either dangerous or introduce annoying knocking sounds I contact SPL and ordered all new hemi's and hardware at a cost of $165USD + shipping. The advantage is these are the latest V3 designed joints that overcome the earlier issues of dirt entering the joint and causing noise/binding/wear. I'll include the old joints for reference, otherwise will throw them in the bin.

So these are basically brand new arms. Never been installed in my car. Unfortunately II waited so long for the parts to arrive, I am now selling my car I don't plan to use them.

As you can see, these retail for $759USD + Shipping.

All I am asking is to get back what they owe me - the $475 I paid, plus the $165 for the joints.

PRICE: $640

CONDITION: The A-Arm section is used, but no signs of wear except 3 or 4 of stone chips. All moving parts are BRAND NEW and come with warranty (receipt provided).

LOCATION: Pickup Melb or can post at buyers expense.

CONTACT: Via PM or O419 336 116

Cheers

Mat

      Among other things yes. Making sure to either use an oil pressure regulator or the right restrictor size for your oil pump/range of oil viscosities you intend to run, making sure you plumb the lines correctly, turbo should be placed such that it siphons properly even when the water pump isn't turning so you don't boil coolant in the turbo after shutdown, oil return should be low resistance and also preferably picking the one that is most likely to return to the pickup as opposed to some other irrelevant part of the pan. It's far from impossible to figure this out but I have seen people really, really struggle and if that's the case it's easier to just take the path of least resistance. To me, bolt-on twin turbos are a fixed cost whereas single turbo is almost unbounded.

      Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.

      Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.
