I'm suprised you have turn-in problems. My car has excellent turn in with 0 toe(other drives have even commented me on the turn in). What kind of tires are you racing on?

azenis 215's 205/55/16 but i think they were under inflated and the car was bottoming out because it was to low. now i don't think that it will be much more of a problem but i still like to have a second opinion from a talented autox cav driver thats why Sean is co-driving. i figure that if i can get within 1 second of his times i am doing good. but we have too totally different driving styles me i would say aggressive i like to slide the car a bit(pitch and catch it) i like the rain


see ya!

try a little toe-out then talk to me.

You'll be quite surprised when you set it a little aggressive. ZOOOOOOOOOOOM

I put like 15,000 miles a year on my car. Toe-out would really kill my tires.

Its nice having acess to an allignment machine all the time, just gotta punch out and its mine. Toe out in the rear makes the biggest difference, I have found. It worked on my VW rabbit, worked on my Saab 9000 turbo, and on the Cav it really works. I have beaten Vipers with the Cav, I love it!! I spent all last year tuning the allignment on a basically stock suspension, I had a different setting each event. Ended up with this:
Rear, 1.2 negative camber, .75 toe out
Front 2.9 negative camber, 2.75 toe out
The rear is more sensitive to changes, especially toe out. Once I lower and stiffen the car, I think the settings I use will have to become more mild, as there wont be as much suspension travel. Well see next year, this year I am driving as seldom as possible. Its nice being an Event Coordinator, everyone lets you drive their car. This year is when I save and spend, save, spend, save, spend, etc. Next year I will be Road Racing!!

Wow Josh, that's a lot of toe-out in the front! How do you find your straight line stability?
