Ready for next Track Event

[mm86911]

OK. . . so I got the car back together after the "curb" incident at last week's autocross. . . New A-arm, ball joint and re-align/balance. Luckily the spindel wasn't bent. Here's the specs on the alignment/corner balance:

Total Weight with driver (155lbs) and 3/4 tank of fuel = 2974 - heavier than I had hoped.

Balance as follows:

LF - 609
RF - 599
LR - 912
RR - 855

Front Camber @ -1.4, Toe @ 12'
Rear Camber @ -1.3, Toe @ 18'

Looking forward to the Yoko AO32Rs (heat cycled) to mount on the 16x7/9s for the Track day April 13 @ Road Atlanta.

Any locals participating/attending?

I'm doing Wally World mit die kinder over schpringen brechen. I'm glad to see you got the car back on the road so quickly. BTW, who did the alignment?? Gran Turismo? Cheers.

I have read several articles including this one on Pelican http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/911_alignment_tips/911_alignment_tips.htm that recommend increasing the rear.5 degrees in negative camber then the front. While I'm sure yours will be ok, there may be some consideration for "dartiness" if there is an unbalance.

Mike,

Are you going to be there on both days? I would like to go Saturday, but I have some home plumbing to do, so it looks like Sunday. Anyone else from the Atlanta area going?
