    blowing exhaust= how much hp loss

    It wasn't a look at me post it was more to prove that when people say i nailed a 911 in my clio ,or a tdi kept up with me , its a completely meaningless on most accounts .... mid range punch on a good tdi will catch a clio napping , and a really torquey one will do more so .... i did this the...

    blowing exhaust= how much hp loss

    I lapped a 172 cup in leon tdi at snetterton ... deduce what you will And it was only a 130 se ... on a set of 18's .... and a stunned passenger . And on a wet comb I laped 3 elises and passed a spinning gt3 in a leon 150 fr .... All of which are utterly true

    blowing exhaust= how much hp loss

    dunno , they are good , used to be the bain of my life when i was running the elise , however the vag tdi's have nothing on the 2.0 d cylinder volvo lump i am now driving , it makes a vag tdi feel like a slug !!

    Rear camber shims make the rear seem lively at normal speeds?

    very much so , and again its very circuit dependant, ....... never asked enough from Me Colburn senior or Ed peed to find exactly what they get up to to make quali work so well. ​been a while since i went to a cup round and after a walk through the awning i spent most in hospitality LOL

    Rear camber shims make the rear seem lively at normal speeds?

    i would suggest taking a bit of negative camber off the rear try half a degree at a time ..... to be fair cup racers run some weird settings for qualifying , but only for qualifying but are very tail happy as the rears take a while to come on ​

    Rear camber shims make the rear seem lively at normal speeds?

    What does the car do now ? ... all this chuck this on do that is ok if you understand what you have , what your driving style is , how accomplished you are behind the wheel etc . You may find the rear more lively and help turn in initially but there would be a mid corner trade off how much...

    Rear camber shims make the rear seem lively at normal speeds?

    If your running camber bolts then this all sounds weird ... and yes a standard 1*2 would always benifit an lsd but you have to change how you drive ..... seriously 3 degrees on the rear sounds odd and would make it turn in better as the contact patch on the rear at turn in would be very small...

    Rear camber shims make the rear seem lively at normal speeds?

    With negligable on the front it would behave weirdly

    Rear camber shims make the rear seem lively at normal speeds?

    How did you deduce that was a good setup .... sounds undrivable and without wishing to sound patronising your understanding of things is way off . Wheelspin out of tight corners will be down to no lsd and a very strange setup ...... in fact it must be bloody awful .a standard car would handle...

    Rear camber shims make the rear seem lively at normal speeds?

    Your problem won't always be turn in related , the most comon mistake for people in FWD on track is not unwinding lock as they apply power , if you hand onto the lock to long when going to full throttle it will wash out badly

    Rear camber shims make the rear seem lively at normal speeds?

    Thats why setups that do certain things become paddock secrets ... as theory and reality rarely match

    Rear camber shims make the rear seem lively at normal speeds?

    your completely correct and i was thinking using top mount adjusters as thats how i have always done it , ever noticed the rake on a R5 cup car ?

    Rear camber shims make the rear seem lively at normal speeds?

    ​also altering toe and camber can (i did say can) have an effect on castor and that will alter turn in and mid corner again .

    Rear camber shims make the rear seem lively at normal speeds?

    the biggest single problem with people trying to set things up is actually understanding what's happening , and then even harder why.

    For anyone who wants to start to understand the science , and i mean start as the reality is that what should work on paper is not what works in reality all the time order and read http://www.amazon.co.uk/Competition-Car-Suspension-Practical-Handbook/dp/1844253287/ref=dp_ob_title_bk and...
