Anyone going to be in Sydney on Sunday that wants something interesting to do?

My pitb!tch is racing as well and is starting to worry about the little things... like getting me harnessed in, tyre pressures, fuels and anything unexpected which may come along - so I was wondering if anyone was interested in lending a hand on Sunday at Eastern Creek at the NSW Supersprint Championships?

Let me know if you are interested.

Cheers

Michele

PS I posted in NSW forum, but no takers yet.

How did the family go?

Michele came 2nd outright which was a great result for her second look at the track and her highest gear was a 4th gear, not to mention the clutch problem isn't resolved - I think I ended up 20th, results are up on Natsoft. Car was good but VERY taily, something I hadn't noticed before this week was that the front sway bar has been removed, which might explain a few things. Looking at solutions for that now as the extended sump is possibly the reason it was removed in the first place.

Some funny footage of me trying to drive this thing :)

Brand new Yokohama A050's. We're not sure if the Motec is running the 4wd or not at this stage. It has a lot of potential, but still needs a lot to do.

Yeah great effort Michelle. And 20th isn't bad considering a brand new car and the others on the track looked considerably modified..

Thanks John, I thought he went well too, new car/new track. I always start a new track in safe (granny) mode lol

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
