I would return to your shop and ask them to get more front camber, using camber bolts; you paid for it. Most 86's get between -2 to -3 deg camber with an SPC 81305 Camber Bolt on the bottom and the lower OEM 14mm bottom bolt moved to the top.

That said, alignment will not be what's holding you back at the track, but you might see slightly shorter tire life.

86Drive Challenge has all skill levels, from super fast to novice. This is my first year tracking, and I'm having a blast with the 86Drive Challenge group. Fun to have a bunch of similarly set up cars on the track at the same time. There are also lots of friendly experienced folks to help get the most out of your 86.

Where are you getting that done?

Mansel's in Bryan. You can even bring weights or whatever if you want to simulate the driver's weight.

Thanks. I think I realized who you are... we have tracked a lot together!

Yes, we have met!

Where/when do you all go to the track? I've been to Harris Hill several times and have not seen any other 86s, just Miatas as far as the eye can see and a few Porsches and S2000s.

MSR Houston, MSR Cresson, COTA, Eagles Canyon. Have not been to Harris Hill yet.

I’m going to be at Harris Hill next weekend again, but I’m planning to set up time to take training at MSR Houston next. I’m ready to start branching out to other tracks I think.

We had 7 twins at msr Cresson for the scca time trials last weekend, and a couple more were on the other half of the track doing a member's day.

I know work keeps you busy, but you really need to start making regular track weekends to learn how to share the track with other cars and be safe. Passing, being passed, on straights, in corners, watching your mirrors, riding someone's butt, seeing corner workers and flags, all of this takes time and practice and you will not learn it if you only do private coaching. Plus, you will get to experience the best part of it all -- meeting other folks who share your passion and often go way out of their way to help you when shit happens. :)

Join our Facebook group for Austin 86 Club as well as Houston 86 Club, if you'd like. I try to set up events or get interest for various driver events (HPDE events, Auto X, drift days).

Hey man sorry to bump an old thread but this trash shop in Columbus, GA called wolf autoworks or something like that, did my alignment. Charged me he same price, and the guy didn’t tighten my tie rod ends, gave me -6 degrees rear camber, and reason being my bill was so high is they were unable to figure out how to raise my coilovers (kwv3) they suggested they might be bent and use a spacer. Idiots. After fixing it, due to their incompetence, I changed my rlca’s our to SPL, since the other arms I used were to slam the car, ignorance on my end. Nonetheless I paid a ton for some idiots who can’t learn to read the KW manual. I hate shops that take advantage of service members, they prey on nice guys like me, but hey I feel bad. They need to make a living some how, even if they’re incompetent. Fake it til ya make it!!
