looks good..

Those wheels look amazing. Nice runs too!

Added new Nameless axle-back, since last update.

Sill all stock suspension/alignment. This venue is a gravelly dust-bowl. Making matters even more interesting, I ran in the 1st round, while it was extra-slippy--big fun!

I had to adjust rear pressures to help compensate. Won the class, but got killed in PAX (11th?) by the later run groups running in much better conditions.

Also, hit the limiter hard 2x--car goes into suspended animation. lol

Another useless vid, but fun runway-style course. Picked up 1.6 secs on this run after adjusting pressure & course attack.

Okay, time to get serious & stop playing around...

Springs are here--dampers are on their way.

Email into Sam abt his bar.

Header/tune hopefully coming soon.

These Camber Plates are works of art--if they function anywhere as good as they look, then..........

Are there camber plates that also increase caster? My BMW plates (TC Kline) have added caster, at a slight decrease in camber. Is there already a lot of caster in these cars and an increase isn't desirable?

Remains to be seen what kind of caster these will produce...

These things need more camber help, than caster, IMO.

Aligned my car with KW's and offset mounts (not camber plates. Pretty much could've set it to -4. Not that I did... or would want to.

The Vorshlag plates increase caster. The Whiteline Com-C fixed offset mounts also increase caster. Whether more caster than what we have is better is a question better left to the setup experts.

Just curious, all the camber plates I saw at SEMA didn't have caster provisions. The BMW gets 4 degrees negative camber while increasing caster. I like the self centering effect of caster personally, if you can get the camber you want and also get caster. Strut cars seem to work well with increased caster, moreso than double a-arm cars (I think... Sam???)

Caster is like most anything where too much of it isn't a good thing. Adding caster increases the weight jacking effect while in a turn where it will further unload the inside rear wheel. Something to especially keep in mind for a torsen differential.

I wasn't thinking about the weight jacking and the torsen diff as much as trying to gain camber on a strut car that loses camber with body roll. OTOH, the low CG of the Twins might cause less body roll and camber loss...
