Cals Boring Iceberg 172

[Radugns]

The car was impressive even before grp N. Are you sure the map and timing before grp N was 100% stock?
Are 197 injectors a must for this application?

Well Chris at EFI seems to think by the afr being so rich low end previously it hadnt previously been mapped ??‍♂️

197 injectors aren't necessary no, the standard injectors can max out around the mid 190s apparently and at the stage I'm at they would be very high in there cycle so guess it will help the longevity by over compensating with better injectors not running as maxed out. I'm still learning about all this so only going from what @bloke has told me really.

RS Tuning is litterally round the corner from my house so once the weather cools down in going to take it round to hopefully get an RR printout with lower intake temps, not on the hottest day of the year like Wednesday was!!?

 

[CliosportCal]

On Wednesday I fitted Powerflex Camber Bolts, Mike Arter Solid Top Mounts, new track rod ends & went to BRAM Racing in Featherstone to get my tracking and camber adjusted correctly:

I then went away for the weekend and on my way back collected a Carbon Fibre Rear Bumper trim!!

Then I also stopped off for a few photos at Scammonden Bridge:

What alignment did you go for?

 

[CliosportCal]

What alignment did you go for?

Meh they managed to get -1.00 and -1.12 degree on the front as they just fitted me in a gap between booked in customers, the camber bolts need taking out and spinning to get more & I was hoping for a little more.

[imprezaworks]

Rear is in good shape (car)

 

[CliosportCal]

Forgot to add the photo of the top mounts. Warning... They're a work of art ?

 

[bloke]

did they say the bolts need to come out to spin them?

needs more camber, borderline horrible with only 1deg.

Yeah they said that, what do you recommend?

 

[bloke]

no need for them to come out, they just turn the tab as you turn the bolt.

2.5 deg camber and about 1mm out drives nice.

Taking them out and spinning them...

 

[Louis]

Brad knows all about camber bolts, he saw mine enough times, so i'm surprised he said he had to remove them to get the required camber? Always made sure the tabs were in the right orientation after rotating the bolt with me.

2.5 deg camber and about 1mm out drives nice.

2.5 deg for fast road seems like loooads? Doesn't that just tramline pretty bad?
What's 1mm in mins?

 

[Krarl]

Aye mines set at 2 degree camber and that's a fair amount. 12 mins toe out total

1mm in mins on 15" wheels is about 10 @Louis

 

[bloke]

2.5 is fine, had a few set to 3deg and drive ok, as long as everything is fine on the car it's nowhere near how you think it would be.

What did Danny have his set to on his old cup? That thing was borderline stance y0!

 

[leeds2592]

When I last had mine done, I got 2 deg and 10 mins total toe out and it tramlined quite a bit on 205 45 16's.
