i dont really know whats going on with the car lately. i mean wider tyres etc and all it does is spin loads more. even at crail was losing grip in 4th and putting massive 11s down 1st, 2nd and 3rd. going to investigate some stuff and try again.

throttle cable be here this afternoon hopefully get time to pick it up and get it fitted. Also ordered alloy rad. Going to move oil cooler to under head light and cut some speed holes for it. Move rad further from turbo and manifold might help cool it down as it been getting quite warm last few days. Will get tracking and camber checked end of week as just set it by eye then have another go.

I have just ordered one of those alloy rads as well. Have you gone for a nova or a corsa one out of interest?

with 1/4mile pish you prob want it as close to 0 camber as poss, but that must be pretty sensative to height changes etc. PAIN

id have thought positive so pulls straighter on acceleration? Negative with tracking i have a lot of movement from tie bar bottom arm area so going to speak jdm about rose joints instead of poly bush.

camber?! Camber at 0 shoudd give the best contact between tyre and road... patch is flat against the road. With +ve camber the inner edge of the tyre would be a bit 'raised' and not giving full contact, and less grip . Its TOE that would effect the way the car pulls. (in / out)

movement in front under acceleration will alter the lot as wheel moves back init. Everything pulling on tie bar brackets.
