cheers
On mercs there is a bolt you can turn in order to move the rack i seriusly dought its the same with toyotas tho. Wheel allignment will get it straight, there around $60 or if ur me free weeeeeeeee.
Flair ur guards+bolt ons @ rear + 25mm spacers @ rear and get a licance I got mine back rofl.
cheers
just measure (tape measure) from the same groove in the tyre from in front and back, once you get it even youre good.
they show this method in drift battle. its one of the only things they get correct.
get a helper.
you should be able to get it within 4mm like this.

Is this where you are getting you tech knowledge from ? drift battle
This same groove in the tyre at the lowest point really isn't a great way to do the alignment
If you can do the alignment at a higher point due to the design of the any hub strut the center is the perfect place for alignment .
But due to the ride height of that car it's not going to be posable
But since it a drift car do it the drift way most people do it at the track
Get four cans place them at the front and rear of the tyre at the side
Place two bits of alloy , wood anything flat across these against the tyre
Then from the inner points of that you can get a fat better measurement than the tyre , especially if you have been drifting on the tyres before .
The raised height gets you closer to the hub center where the camber and caster measurement at the bottom or top of the tyres is far less .
Or you can string line it if you can be bothered before going to get a correct alignment

i am studying today for midsemesters that have snuck up on me!
i have no credit to reply...
so heres what you do.
1.take out the distributor.
2.take out number one spark plug
3. get a socket and ratchet to go over the big bolt that holds on the harmonic balancer
4. get a long flat blade screw driver and stick it in the spark plug hole.
5. Now, with one hand, hold the screw driver, and with the other hand, crank the engine over by hand. You will feel the piston either going down or coming up. Basically you are looking for the point where the piston is at the top of its range of motion. you must make sure that it is coming up on the compression stroke so whilst the piston is on its way up, stick your finger in the spark plug hole and feel the pressure build.
6. once you have established top dead centre, take the cap off the dizzy. Look for the electrode that corresponds with number one cylinder. Insert the dizzy with the rotor button (you'll know what it is when you see it) as close to that number one electrode as possible.
7. refit dizzy cap
8. refit spark plug and leads
9. For gods sake DONT FORGET TO REMOVE YOUR RATCHET ON THE HARMONIC BALANCER!
thanks alot andy, ill get that done when i can...
doesnt matter anyway i cant get my pos to start
i guess it was silly for me to think id have it running this arvo
grant it wont start till u do what andy said, if your fuel pump is buzzing it must be the timming so follow the steps above and try and get it sorted.
im still a bit uncertain bout what needs to be done, but anyway... im just gonna not bother for pushing to the 30th now...
whatever needs to be done needs to get done thursday morning...
i have to say whether my exhaust is definately getting done some time that morning before i go to tafe at 3pm So that it can get done on friday night (only time it can get done). And if its not running before then, no exhaust for me...
nag jase till he comes ova with his timming light and does it for you, pretty much what u have done to get this far,
car is now running, not happily but running lol... just needs a proper tune as it runns really weird
also i had a reality check on the way home, not 1k short of my house
i am rediulously happy with my exhaust but... i love it.
