Knock Detector from knock tek

 My post today is regarding knock tek detector. it functions to provide indication and also can be used to send signal for ECU to alter ignition map when knock is detected. but this item should not be used to tune ur ignition timing on the road especially because it may register knock up to 6000 rpm only. so it is better to tune ignition on load bearing dyno machine to see any small changes on engine torque in order to tune ur timing.
 i mounted it on roll cage temporarily used to provide me any indication of knock during track racing. if it registers any knock then i just have to slow down the car.
 it also can be hook up with shift light to perform as knock indication.

Proper way to install adjustable rear camber or toe

 After torn or damage of 'tulang anjing' i change to adjustable toe, and this will reduce the stress on the strut by removing the stock chambered bolt. How ever during installation i see that it requires to do some modification. Lets take a look at the picture below it got a hole in oval shape, this will move the bolt position when the car under stress or vibration and u might loose suspension rigidity.

 What I did? I took the used washer from cambered bolt and drill a hole  to suit standard bolt that u r going to use.

 below is the end after using the drilled washer, and tighten it up.this will hold the strut more firm to the chassis.
