Camber/toe for track dayers.

What's peoples set up on track.

I'm going to book into blink in the next two weeks. I want a neutral car, I'm no race driver nor drift king. Think currently I have -1.5 camber on the front with -2 on the rear with shims. No white line rear bar. Have got toe out but can't remember how much. The car seems to handle well but I'd like more turn in. Any pointers would be great

And @Ph1 Tom id appreciate feedback from you

Oh and @Pauleds

Whiteline arb would certainly help the turn in, it certainly did with my car (on hard setting - never tried it on soft)
I quite like the rear to be quite loose/tail happy, but that's not to everyone's liking so an arb on soft might be a good start.
Tom has got the reinforced rear beam rather than a whiteline arb, but that has a similar result apparently.
As for my other settings, I really can't remember. New car will be set up at my mates new tracking centre in Oswestry -

Cheers paul. Do you know how much they charge? If it's good enough for you to take your car there I'm more than happy taking mine there mate.

 

[Pauleds]

25 for tracking, caster adjustments 10 per axle, camber adjustments 10 per axle (where things can be adjusted of course)

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah just checked on there website. Take it his background is racing of some sort mate?

 

[Ph1 Tom]

I take mine to Buckley Tyres. Its £29 for toe and £49 for camber/caster on the front so similar prices to where Paul goes.

My settings are front 3 degrees negative camber, 3.3 degrees positive caster, 20 minutes toe out. On the rear its 1.8 degrees negative camber and parallel toe.

I used to run parallel toe on the front but the toe out really helps turn in. Any less than 3 degrees of camber results in outer tyre wear.

The rear beam stiffening kit has made a great difference, really impressed with it. Seems much more stable and less roll.

 

[imprezaworks]

Cheers Tom/paul gives me something to look into when I get it done. Tom the rear stiffening kit, what's involved in that?

 

[Ph1 Tom]

It's a load of profiled bits of steel you have to weld onto the beam. The brake pipe bracket needs repositioning too.

Ah ok mate. Not something I could manage, was getting confused with the footrest paul sold me.

I wasn't but it's so you know what stage of mechanical know how I'm at.

His background is building cars as a hobby really, and now this is a sideline for him. He got fed up with tweeks and the like setting up his cars so got himself the Hunter setup. Hasn't been open long, but my Motorsport mates are starting to use him now.

 

[imprezaworks]

Ok great. Will get in touch with him within the next couple of weeks.

I offered to fit it for you!!! Lol

 

[imprezaworks]

Tbf it was straight forward. Knowing my lack of capabilities and patience I was quietly impressed I didnt drill through the engine block, lol.

Would be good to get some more people opinions and experiences as I'm going to be getting my geo done this week and not really sure what toe to ask for!

A little bit out

 

[JezzaMac]

A little bit out

I know that, but what sort of digits we talking about? 8 minutes? 12 minutes?

 

[Fraser.J.]

Just ask them to set it to a fast road set up with a little toe out, you won't feel a difference

 

[NorthloopCup]

I set toe to around 10-15 minutes toe out up front.
