8v's mk1 alignment question..

[CRSMP5]

ok.. stock is .5*+   +- .25* per side.. and toe out 3mm...

works great...   -.75* with 3mm toe in... when under accel/moving it equilizes out closer to 0 this way...

mow my coupe.. its 1.5* neg, 3mm toe in.. but it holds a corner pretty hard... the negative is its torque steer on a road with a bevel in the middle.. if you hit that under power.. it will break a thumb if you got it in bad place.. but 90mph on 30mph turns.. took piggy 3 miles and 3 stop sighns to catch up one day.... walked away with no front plate coupon... still no clue where i blew past him... and my reply to the "you know why i stopped you right??" queston... ahhhhh i honestly no idea... he like you sure.. im like i can beleive speed.. but no clue where ya saw me...

country roads.. that was back when i was runnin 14" r8s with yoko a509s.. my fav set up ever... too bad they quit making them..

interesting.

I am pretty sure I am more than 1.5* easy. The toe was close to 1/16-1/8 out. So nearly straight on. Car tracks fine at higher speeds, just bumps are taken hard and the tires physically look like they are WAY toe out.

but you run that crap kyb/zone/o'riley/monrow struts.. they all hit hard... a good nla german suspention would give ya a woodie... i suggest tyring some koni..

big balloon tires.. strut tower weakening.. cracked frame horns do that too.. make sure something no broke... my 81 coupe broke something.. if i had t guess frame horn or rear lower arm mount the last time i drove it...

What is the question?

[8v-of-fury]

it was on Vortex.. as there is a mk1 specific area.. and a lot more mk1 guys than here.

Where should an mk1 be setup as in terms of Camber and Toe.

Apparently 1/8" in and 1-1/5* is key.

Ooh a 509 yokes. I miss those. Such an awesome tire  for the $$
Yea I use to like 1.5-2 deg on the camber. I still got even tire wear like that too.
That's cause I drove It real hard
