I am running right at -1.5 degrees camber.

I recently went to -3.3 camber. Almost perfectly even wear over 2 days at the Glen. First time ever I did not chew up the outside edge.
2.5-3.0 would work for less sticky tires |

I still drive quite a bit on the street. Are you guys seeing wear issues on the street with that much neg camber?
|
Not so far. And it's been 4000 miles. My street tires (Conti DW in 255/40-19) are not seeing any increased inside wear with -2.0 degrees of camber. I do not track them, but I take some ramps kinda hard.

29 June SDCA trackday @ LRP
1:09:0 laptime (best recorded lap (not all sessions timed)) Great track, learned a lot. |
Glad you enjoyed it. Any spots you found difficult? It's a fast track when you get a feel for the rythym

Glad a few tips helped! Yeah if you're 1.09 and faster you're much quicker than the average novice group. Much of the instructor group will be 1.04-1.05 there pending cars and tires.
When are you going oit next? |
won't be going back to LRP anytime soon, planning on Dec trackdays at Daytona and maybe Sebring if I can swing it
|
Very cool! I think I'm at LRP one more time this season by not till October.
Patiently waiting for the dealer to repair the axle and then hopefully finally fix the steering issue. Thinking I won't have the car again till August at this point |

whoa, wait, what happened to the axle and steering?
The steering issue is weird. Ever since I bought the car, when transitioning turns (left to right or right to left) sometimes I would feel what felt like something shifted in the steering. Sort of like gear slop in the steering rack. However, it's not felt when turning or when the car isn't loaded (i.e. in the driveway). There's no slop in the steering so I don't think it actually is the steering rack. It's almost as if the whole front subframe shifts a bit. Anywasy, it's gotten worse over the past year. I had brought it in with this issue like 3 years ago, but they "couldn't reproduce the issue" that time. I've been advised this time though they were able to replicate it, so now I will be firm in that I don't want the car back until the issue is resolved. The feeling makes me quite nervous |
Last weekend I had a personal best recorded (harry Lap timer) lap of 3.00.50 around Road America. I was hoping to break into the high 2 minute times but Saturday morning during the first session my supercharger ate a bearing or something so my weekend was over early. Already have a RMA# so the head unit will be sent in next week. My season is over though. :(

great driving as usual dmichaels! do you think the aero had a larger role than your tires to getting the new pb? I have been throwing around the idea of getting canards (ajhartman).
I'm building new canards, if they come out good I'll make you a set for the cost of materials... |
