Solution? Eh. 2 hours of labor will make the bracket work on the seat.

Door needs to be trimmed, so be it.

Lol. Proper sized would mean new wheels. Meh.

They're already rolled and pulled, we're already in ze danger zone for messing up the bondo. I'm still going to try and get another 1/4" out of them next time I'm up at IAG.

Camber is -2 in the rear. Not bad. Up to -1.9 is in factory specs IIRC. Or was that the front...I don't know lol.

Any more low, I can't get in the driveway. Not even kidding. Plus, it's near perfection on corner balancing and setup. More low would throw off the geometry and we'd have to rebalance. AND it'd handle worse. :\ No thanks.

Haha we didn't have much choice. It still rubs, but it's a loooot better. Think I'm -2.5 in the front? Something along those lines. We did it twice after the tension rod....so it's hard to remember :p

Meh. Such and awesome motor, but cheap wheels :( I IS SAD

Rear Camber I wouldn't go past -2*
I had -1.5* on my other 14 with a Rear Fender height of 24.75" and it still wore the inside a little faster than the outside. -1.2* would probably be the sweet spot for even wear and max traction during cornering/drifting.



Get Front & Rear Knuckles and go moar low. No need to worry about geometry as it'll be awesome...
Can't get in the driveway? 2x4's fit in my trunk fine ;)

lol jk

Haha you haven't tried driving the beltway on a slammed car ;) And who puts legit wheels on a privateer drift car? Just gonna get destroyed anyway ;) I like ze battles.

Not sure what my height is, but I'd actually like closer to 0 camber in the rear, but that's not happening lol. I could probably dial in a little less with the cheap Kenda hookup I snagged for 100DoD. (Can't afford another set of 615's before then lol). Had to get 245/40's, as they don't offer 235/40 or 255/40. O well. Can't beat cheap.

Anthony- Yup. Still on Rapper's borrowed Battle. Need to swap it out after 100D. Don't have the cash to do it beforehand. I think I get a decent deal on Stance, have to look.

Camber
On a drift car you want to run the rear camber as close to zero as possible. This will usually give you the best tire wear, and best forward bite. If you want a little more side grip you can run some negative camber but usually no more than one degree negative should be run.

Tires aren't going to wear perfect. Not much left in the "street car" category.

Impulse buy. Local had a PBM Skid Plate.

Notched it for the Tomei's drain plug, threw it on. Easy Peasy.

Also chipped away some more sound deadening since it was 30 degrees out. Back seat as a whole is now done. Over winter will be the front half of the cockpit.

Sheered off some of the sunroof mounting bolts with the good old double-nut, less things poking down. Left the front ones, have some plans for those...heehee.


Bout it. Waiting to see if my Bride rails and my 911 Kenda tires will be here in time for 100 Drifters of December this weekend. :\ If not, all I have is the pair on the car lol. Thankfully it'll be crazy cold...should help prolong the tires. Want that seat in though...which should arrive today.

Of which, lol. Seat? Easy enough. Crash bar? May be under the bumper. Dunno if I'm running one this weekend.

Just got word from Grimmspeed, tie-downs are done and shipping.

Will go nicely with the oil cap I already got.

Also got word that Bride's container was a week late...hit customs today, should hit them by Wed, strongarming them into overnighting the rail to me. Pushed my appt at JE to Friday. Nothing like last minute...
