This is me at VIR in September... just thought I would share.



Check out all that crazy camber on my rear wheel! Stupid suspension... can't adjust camber independently on the rear... great idea!

 

damn nice car man. lol i got the same thing on my back wheels cept it aint that bad. lol. i got eibach springs

 

i can fully adjust evey angle on mine. I think all you need it the rear camber adjuster, and it's easy to install.

 

I definately have to fix my camber. I wear out tires pretty quickly. Looks good though.

 

Gene, what track is that? Or strip?

 

I have that. The problem is that it adjusts camber on both sides at the same time by moving the subframe around. The problem is that the right wheel has more camber than the left wheel... Two owners ago the left rear wheel got stuffed into a curb and it bent something, so the left wheel has less camber than the right. Since I don't want positive camber on it, when it has a little negative camber, the one on the right has a lot. I haven't had a chance to get it fixed...

The track in question is VIR during the September Mazda Drivers' school. www.mazdadrivers.com for more info. They are doing another one in march. Sign-up starts soon.

 

that looks familiar

 

nice ride...what are the mods?

 

sweet , I would also like to know what mods yo have on the car since its tracked.

There's probably a couple I don't remember, it's pretty late and I was out drinking tonight

 

So what did you run?

 

VIR is a road course, not a dragstrip... I've actually never been dragging with this car, so I can't really give an estimate.

 

wow, well thanx for the input.

Damn thats all that is wrong I just thought my rear suspension was clapped out did know it happened 2 everyone!

 

i'd predict 13's on the drag strip for good ol gene

i can't wait to go in a few months

 

13's eh? Well your T2 did have about the same mods. I guess I should haul my *** over there sometime and find out for sure.

 

good looking car and isn't that a great track. i haven't driven it buy b4 i moved out to cali that was my home track.

 

Oh my fault, looked like a drap strip.

 

i love living within 40 mins of VIR....my life, my love, my education
