I haven't been there since they changed hands but I did hear that now it's RAC it's a bit more strict.

Yeah I work there from time to time.. I don't tend to do the skidpan days, I am usually taking the V8 rides, but the deal is that the RAC have an image to uphold in the public eye of course. I've been to a couple of the monthly meetings and they are all pretty good about it - but of unfortunately they get the odd member of the public ringing up asking why the RAC is promoting 'hoonlike behaviour' and so on.. so if said member of the public drives past and see's heaps of tyre smoke that what causes the issues..

Bottom line is, they don't mind you sliding around, and after all that's what the idea is, to control the car and experiment a little - but its when someone goes out time after time and loops it, then stay on the gas pretty much doing a burn-out that we have to step in and ask you to back down a notch..

That said - if anyone's going to a ride in the V8's send me a msg and let me know in case I'm on that weekend!

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      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.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      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.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
