Any thoughts, good bad or ugly fire away

Are your toe figures quoted as Toe in, therefore - means toe out? What are the quoted tolerances?

 

[imprezaworks]

Toe out is what i asked for. They even rang ktec to see what they suggested how the car should be set up.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Camber of and a half is ok for a road car and at least the two sides are almost the same.

Rear end they can't change so no point commenting much on, but looks reasonable anyway.

Third of a degree of toe out sounds good, for a road car i would maybe go a bit less but that won't cause problems.

 

[Adam G]

Oh dear!:S
Thought decent tracking setups had factory specs and tolerances built in, ones I've used have. Have you got the print out to post up?

 

[imprezaworks]

Thanks Chip appreciate your help,

Regards,

The pest

What do you mean oh dear!!! They have got factory settings which is what they initily set it too, then they asked me how i wanted it. Must be like a disclaimer thing, maybe. Ive got the printout but cant post it up, but its exactly how it reads tbh.

 

[Adam G]

I normally just go for within factory settings but 0.05 toe out.
Just see how you get on mate, if it suits you that's all that matters. As Chip has said it's there or thereabouts.

 

[imprezaworks]

I thought id try it as i bought some camber bolts. See how i get on mate.

 

[Cr33do]

I reckon you have done ok there. As Chip said it looks pretty even side to side. We have ours set to 0.10 toe out on the front (each side) whereas standard is 0.05 per side. That's only because its mainly used on track.

We need to order some pure Motorpsort rear shim to equal out our rear camber.

 

[KevF182]

Looks fine. They have got things very equal from left to right as chip said. It should give you peace of mind that the rear looks very good, the front castor is good too - middle of renault tolerances (and better than lots of others it seems to me!)

I'ts not an excessive amount of toe out in my opinion - just drive it lots now and see how it feels for a while.

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah cheers, will give it a few days.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Castor being so even should make it particuarly stable under braking.

Dont forget that when you are dealing with minutes not decimal it means that 2.60 = 3.0

So 2.58 and 3.03 is VERY close, far better than a lot of these cars are


Being predictable is more important on track than anything else really, so I think you will be well pleased with it.

 

[Martin.]

Where did you get it done?

 

[Dan@SJM]

Went to protyre in warrington

I'd take a stab in the dark at Protyre in Warrington...

 

[imprezaworks]

Lol yeah went to protyre in Warrington. Although not the cheapest place in the world they did the job properly and rob the assistant manager sis a nice guy and reassured me all the way through. Well worth a trip guys. So thats two places id recommend, them and Grinspeed in Preston.

[Dan519]

Looks very nicely done.

Better than the place that told you they couldn't get a reading?

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah they seem good guys tbh. And yeah lol.

 

[5678]

How much was it? I'm going to use these guys to get mine done next.

 

[Martin.]

Reading fail haha! Didn't see you had said ProTyre

 

[Chip-mk1]

How much was it? I'm going to use these guys to get mine done next.

It varies from branch to branch IME, but tends to be about 25-30 quid per adjustment, so around 50-60 for front camber and toe.

 

[JamesBryan]

Is this Jeffrey's Tyres place?

 

[imprezaworks]

How much was it? I'm going to use these guys to get mine done next.

£99 including vat. They also fitted the camber bolts for me too. Like i say not the cheapest but they take their time and make sure its right. Not spending anymore bloody money on the car now though lol.

 

[imprezaworks]

Is this Jeffrey's Tyres place?

Yep.

 

[bill]

Traitor!

 

[imprezaworks]

Lol, I'm impatient. At least I've found another decent place to go and we all know how difficult that is. It does drive spot on tbf

 

[bill]

ha ha good on you glad your happy with it, next time your experimenting with places, can you keep it nearer my end of town lol

 

[imprezaworks]

But further away from me lol, that would be a no ha ha

 

[sbridgey]

I'm Glad you got it all sorted.

That should handle better now, personally i would have gone for more camber but what you have is good i reckon.

 

[imprezaworks]

Cheers Si. I was contemplating a tad more but im happy with how it handles tbh, just need a couple of 5mm spacers and jobs a good un.
