Why do you have that much camber on the rears? Must be a fair amount... -3deg or so?
you'd prob find the car handles better with more (-ve) camber on the fronts

just testing, it hadles a dam site better back stays in, corners flat and lets go gradually. with it bein so light its hard to keep the back in line under hard cornering.
looking at adjustable topmounts for the front next

it can be reduced a little, but when testing, before i was cornering on the shoulder of the tyre, after i managed to get heat into all of the tread surface,

he did get vids...and they are good too, he seems to have had a good day from chatting to him earlier, and is very pleased with how it went.
That camber on the back wheels is working, the rear tyres are more damaged than the fronts!
im sure ad'll tell you in the morn when sleep has been had...he was knackered!

do have some vids. and other pics. ill pic a few and get them up.
day went ok, drivebelt failed on way there. lobbed spare on, then had a load of fun. passing a few cars which i didnt think i would.
namely a proshe boxster i think, who didnt wanna get out my way that much he got black flagged.
a westfield i think with a focus 1800 on tb's, these guys who own'd it were great. i got past then they couldn't match me and came over to find out how the hell i got away.
shortly after throttle cable snapped.so a trip to halfords. a pushbike cable was bought and fitted. and back out i went
only this time on the full circuit. much fatser and technical. loved it.
but was now playing with skylines and 200bhp kit cars. so overtaken i did get a lot
got a few mr2's too. which i didnt think i would have.
all in was a cracking day.

Where did you go off? Hit anything hard, or just kittylitter?
How did it handle (if it was wet I bet the back end was a bit frisky with all that camber)

i put old tyre on the back to finish them off. and that was directly the cause of the back letting go...
lesson learned.
went sideways about 70 - 80 down hill toward cascades " i think thats the name of it" onto grass still broad side all way down the hill
broke a arch plastic. that seems about it
put good tyres back on and had no bother all day

the s shaped down hill bit after the right hander at the end of the start finish straight?
jesus....
I had a scary moment there before (not of my ow, but trying to avoid someone)
Came round the corner to go down the hill... just behind a TVR tuscan that was fishtailing all over... Oh Oh I dont think he could make his mind up if he was going off, and in which direction, or going to keep it straight.
