I took my gt86 to a practise day yesterday, as the race car was giving me grief.

It was the faster section we have, that I had not yet done in the gt86. We call it B-Track.

Anyway, I've decided I'm going to enter the local competition in it this Saturday. I've already entered in it before, but only on A-Track, which is 2nd gear only. B-Track is much faster, all 3rd gear.

Major thing that was holding me back as all the slop in the rear. Didn't notice it so much before on the slower track, but with more speed it's quite awful. So going to drop the subframe tomrrow and raise and sold mount it, and the diff. Also picking up a full set of rear rose jointed arms today. (Racefab). Will try and get some pics of it all.

Picked up my rear arms earlier.


Looking forward to having the rear much more direct, and also looking forward to the diff whine as well!

So coming to you guys again to get your opinion. About how much camber do you guys run up front? I am sure it is a little personal preference too. I am on BC coils and I have them at the maxed out level right now. So I think it's -3, just looking to get some input from you guys.

Thanks

I run -3. I've seen a lot of people on here run between -3 and -4.

Then there are others are running almost none. You want camber up front. I'll end up going to -3.5 or -4 when I get the knuckles done.

So jelly. I have their rear UCA's and front LCA's. They make really good stuff.

Getting my tyres mounted for tomorrow.

There's no way I'll need 12, but better to have too many.
