Did Donny.

We did Donny today, Carl had a early start to drive the car down. It was a Circuitdays trackday and there was some awesome machines there.
We were both nervous about parts of the track and this could be seen in our morning outings, but what was more noticeable was the poor handleing of the car. It just would not turn in at all, with a great deal of help from Fred at BTM prefomance ;), we fidled around with the suspension settings and set up some front camber by eye. This improved the handleing alot in the afternoon, and with a few tips on lines and braking points from Fred we started to put in some better times.

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*

what was the steering issue?

The car had not been set up properly on the ASTs so the front and rear were about the same stiffness, and running hardly any cmaber, the car wouldnt turn in and was understeering,

So we stiffened up the rear and added a s**t ton of camber to the front, which got it about 80% there its still not 100% but its going to BPM racing to see Matt very soon to get corner weighed and set up. :D

We run loads of camber on the front and rear on our rally car when we are on smooth tarmac and it just goes round corners on rails and since that’s all you track day pu55ys ever do just go round, round, round all day on smooth tarmac that would prob be a good way to start. LOL

What stud kit did you go for in the end?

Are you running 15mm spacers on each side of the front?
