Thanks for taking the photos, Keith!

In 100704SSschool-11, I can see a flaw in our ruleset. We don't have a rule against axles that extend two inches to be outside the fender under dynamic cornering. ;)

Uhmmm... does anyone else think the inner RF camber is a bit scary?

well, 1 major thing did this

To change the camber on ym car, you have to put shims between the upper control arms and the body. however, if i put the maximum shims allowable on factory bolt length, i only get 0.5* negative. and you cant take the bolts out (to replace with longer ones, which i have at a higher grade), as they will hit the motor mounts. so, as a test, to see what negative camber values will eliminate my tire wear problems, i decided to do a little modifying to the lower crontrol arm. doing this however, made it that when the car had the suspension arm fully extended, it would throw another 2-3* neg at regular height, it is about 4.5* neg, and fully compressed, its -6 ish. this is why the inside wheel shows so much negative, its somewhere around 6-8 degrees negative! luckily though, its got almost no load, so the wear wasn't really affected.


Now, the other thing is, i will have the proper control arms, and the long bolts and a crapload of shims in the car for the next event, as im swapping to a rebuilt engine and tranny. and a new turbo. (same size as stock, t3, but with ceramic ball bearings for fast spool up) so changing from an engine with almost 300k on it, to an engine with 0 k on it will be a good improvement :p

il also be in T1, as im doing an exhaust, an intercooler, and a few other bits. :D
