JP,
I said: QUOTE Yes some tires work better with more or less but it all comes down to how hard the owner of said tires pushes them. Does this not "agree" with what you said: QUOTE The actual fact is that some tires like more camber than others ?? You also said Nate liked to run low pressures. I didnt/dont and still needed -3.0-3.25 on the same tire on the same width rim. I ran em 40 hot for AutoX. B |

I have to look up my other settings because I don't like my turn in effort. It "feels" too heavy. My car is not as low as Dan. I have a perfect corner balance. After the last event of the year in November I will have it redone. Ron Kain at IPB does the set up for me. As far as tire pressure is concerned, I think it is as much a suspension setting as the others and tire brand dependent. I like more, but not as much as Brad. Maybe 36 hot. On a slight hijack, is that a smile on Brad's face in the avatar? I don't think Brad has smiled in a couple of years... Life must be better. |

I have a perfect corner balance. check your toe. if at 0 toe it's still too heavy, you may consider taking some out some caster. |

Took me awhile to figure out how to get more caster in the Boxster. It required pushing out a bushing on the lower control arm and re-clocking it so another control arm that comes into it, mounts and pushes the arm farther forward.
Net = more caster by pushing the bottom of the control arm forward. GT3 arms have two bolt provisions for more caster. Both arms can have the bushing pushed out and re-clocked for more or less caster. Brad smiling.. YES. Real job that challenges me daily and the bills are getting paid off as fast as I can. I found someone who is goofy like me and sarcastic like me. She has a type A personality that fits very well with me. She will be driving soon!! 5'10 130lb brown eyed blonde!! B |

Rob,
please tell Ron Kain I said hello. He is one of the fastest 914 drivers in NorCal. I missed a call from him a few weeks back and havent returned it. Ron and I used to be accused of being "brothers" when we ran track events up north. He is a stand up guy who does great work. I wish I could have seen his new building before I moved south. B |

B Brad, Will do. I see him probably twice a week or so. You two actually do sort of look alike. I plan on luring him out to an autocross this year if I can get him away from the wife for a day, maybe she would come too? He turned me on to my new (old) taildragger. '84 Carrera with 55K miles from two obsessive PO's Every record and even a Rubbermaid tub full of parts that had been taken off and replaced. I guess they wanted me to have the originals? Factory sport wheel, Factory manuals, original suspension parts replaced with Turbo... Body 9.5 Interior 9.5 Mechanical 9.5. Yum yum... put 500 miles on her last weekend. What a ride. |

The Carrera sounds nice! I'll be up soon for events. B |

He was totally charged that I had spoken to you. He wants you to call or email... Let me know if you need digits or an email address. Your "brother" misses you. He has a ride in my car at any autocross event he wants to drive in. He just has no time. Rob |
