"From Mild 2 Wild" section on FC3S Pro

I better get this in before this place crashes again...

I've stuck a new section that is a bit easier to read through than the regular Mods section (although they are both tied in).

I called it "From Mild 2 Wild" - it's a "stages" break-down of Engine/Power and Suspenions mods for the FC3S...

http://fc3s-pro.com/TECH/FM2W/fm2w.html

Enjoy!

P.S. - I'm still messing around with it, and I need to change a few things.&nbsp Any comments I'll gladly take - hell even typos!

Road race/high speed/street alignment:
1/16" total toe-in, front
"0" toe, rear
-0.5 to -2.0 degrees camber, front
0 to -0.5 degrees camber, rear
caster, stock - no need to adjust

Autocross:
1/16" total toe-out, front
"0" toe, rear
-1.0 to -2.5 degree camber, front (I think most camber in stock strut tower is like -2.5)
0 to -0.5 degrees, rear
caster, stock
front tire pressures:&nbsp 36psi to start
rear tire pressures:&nbsp 32psi to start
lower tire pressures if needed.

THESE ARE ALL GUIDELINES FOR STARTING POINTS - EACH CAR IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT, SO ADJUST IF NECESSARY!
Simple.

I don't mention (stock) specs cause there are a lot of sites out there that already do this.&nbsp If you're talking about specs for aftermarket parts, just ask...most people care about performance and how fast it'll make their cars.
