Re: Bomber's PH1 - Just got Awesome. Post #375
things have kind of stalled on the car for the moment, bought another house instead. however, i now have rear camber and am having it all setup next week, loads of negative camber as i only do about 2k miles a year on the road.
not sure what to do next on the car, and going to enjoy some trackdays for a change
went out for a photoshoot last night with shadowness last night. had a good time and i bought along a friend with his M3.

I love the cage colour
Kinda wish i had done mine a bright colour.
Are you just going to have negative camber, or you going to fiddle with the tow too?

on the rear ive done it with washers because im so cheap, will see what the results are and then adjust then at home re-correcting the rear toe. front will all be setup a bit more professionally lol.
I will also be producing some 5mm spacers to fit between the hub and rear beam, depending how many i can fit, may even manage 15mm per side if the tyres dont scrub the arches. then i'll buy some Eibach hubcentrics for the front.
i just refuse to spend £100+ on spacers for the rear when there are other methods to try first

we used the multi story car park at the Quays, to find the road we used you need to turn left just before you go into the car park then its kinda of round the back. we got ushered on as we were leaving though, anti terrorism b****cks
thanks alot, i made sure dan lit the cage up good an proper
cheers wurzel, it's nice using it again. bigger garage at the new house means i can do more bits... perhaps not as extreme as you're going though
i dont have pics but will be doing some. first im going to hand make some spacers and see if they'll work. i'll then be getting a batch lazer cut and will sell them on CS. you will have to remove the rear disc, caliper and hub, then fit the spacer between the hub and rear beam. very easy to do, took about 45minutes to take it apart and put mine back together each side

ah i get you. the spacing is quite a bit smaller on the hub. in theory, more wear is placed on the bearings with spacers, my idea should help prevent the extra wear because the offset to the bearing (not the offset to the car) stays the same

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut
-3 degree's camber now, and the first time in 18 months the steering wheel points the same way as the wheels.
50mm spacers on the front and having the rear hub spacers machined today, not going to bother having extra's made as had no interest at all, but it should help save my rear bearings a little bit.
starting to feel the love again for the little clio

50mm spacers at the front! I have read the above postes but not really understood it lol.
So your spacing out the hubs as the rear, i get how you do thats but how do you space out the hubs at the front? Or are they just normal wheel spacers your having at the front. 50mm is loads so wont your wheel bolts have a hard time?

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut
didnt know you was getting this done, what size will the spacers be and where will they go? or do you mean the rear shims?

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut
Ah sorry for the confusion, fronts are Eibach hubcentrics 25mm per side. But they call them 50mm set.
Rear spacers were finished today using 4 off 75x75x10 steel plates, so 2 on each side to make 20mm per wheel. They are being fitted between the rear beam and the whole hub assembly. I've got pictures, but am off to the pub so they can wait
Will be rebuilding the rear hubs this weekend with plenty of pictures for you guys.
Yellowbelly, was your mate in the white 197 cup? Saw him a couple of weeks ago.

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut
i have a feeling -3 degree's on the rear is a bit much lol... i used 2mm washers, rather than the proper shims. as ive got the hubs apart i can refit new washers, will be using 1.25mm washers which should get me dont to a slightly better angle. cant wait to get out on it this weekend, front spacers sadly not turned up today

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut
With have that amount of camber at the rear how does it affect the handeling?
Is turn in really strong and is the ar** quite slidey?

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut
driven it about 2 miles with 3 degree's so cant say at the moment lol. will find out over the next few weeks really.
so, first picture shows the rear hub with 2 x 10mm steel plates drilled and fitted between the hub and rear beam
here you can see the 1.25mm washers hanging on the two lower bolts, ready to be tightened
and here is the final setup, bolted together.
now done on both sides here are some before and after pics butchered together
however, i took it up the road and back and it rubs slightly on the corner of the plastic bumper. might have to knock it down to 15mm over the winter just to make sure. i really dont want it do start touching the rear steel arch
