Below are some key changes i would make from the set up in the manual which is aimed at an outboard car and will probably be giving you some issues with your inboard set up
  • Most peoples car i saw yesterday had the 20deg kick up plate fitted as per the kit, this gives alot of steering so i would suggest you all start with the 25 deg kick up!! makes the car more forgiving
  • Front camber link on the tower has a 2mm spacer, remove this and start without any washers, the 2mm makes the car hold onto the corner for to long, if you don't have enough steering then add small washers to build the height back up - This is a very big change for this car and it reacts to very small changes
  • Rear hub carriers has 1 washer under the ball stub on the hub, i would run 2 to 3 to generate more rear traction
  • Rear high roll centre is much better for us!
  • Rear link on tower has a 2mm spacer fitted, only remove this to generate chassis roll in low grip conditions, again a very sensitive adjustment on this car
  • I am using 6 hole pistons as that is what i started with back in November yet to try the 4 hole pistons
Hope that helps

Si

some very helpfull info,does more kick up give more or less steering?i thought putting back the 2mm washer on the tower if you dont have enough with out them would give you less steering,wouldnt having a longer camberlink and a 2mm washer on the caster block give you more,
the only reason i say this is because i had a cougar,adding washers took away alot of the steering,i just thought i was getting the hang of this set up lark
