Chris Wilson Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I think that's the front adjuster, anyway, it's wound to give maximum, and I usually give track biased cars all the (modest) amount of castor the set up allows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 This is the adjuster from the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 If you line up the two pimk arrows you get as much negative camber as the adjusters will allow, so can get quite a lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good although I am guessing its not quite a simple as just adjusting that front adjuster. Roughly how much negative I am running at the moment and what can it go too?

Chris Wilson Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Looks about 1.5 to 2 degrees, I'd try 3.5 and see what happens. Hard to be sure off a photo though. You could work it out with trigonometry if you were a sadist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 You'll need a lot more front now you are making it into a track car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Yes, you should be able to get some more negative, at the expense of some positive castor, which will limit the camber gain in steer. Vicious circle. You ideally need different arms for track work. You can get rid of the bush compliance as well, then, which will make a hell of a difference to the feel of the car under duress.

I am getting a complete set of 2nd hand arms from Paul, I will use these as a basis for either some modified or complete custom units.

I see you can get some quite long cable extensions which is why I was wondering where you'd use such long lengths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 Been a while since I updated this thread but some more bits arrived this week so here are some pics I am undecided if I should use the -8 o-ring to -6an rail adapters and use -6 lines are just get some -8 adapters and do the feeds in -8. At the moment I have -6an dual feed and -6an return, my bosch fuel reg is -6an in and out. With my Bosch 044 pump I am planning to run 55psi static would should give me approx 1000cc New Injectors and Rail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Whiffin Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Looks tasty. I'm sure -6 will be fine mate, more than enough. I was running 2x -6 with the 42RS with no fuel pressure problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
