  1. Thanks guys... KPI 20deg is: +13deg 51' - left +13deg 38' - right Wheels are standard Revision 2/3 15's with the correct size tyres (195/55 front and 225/50 rears) with the tyres being fitted early Feb. I know what your saying about the wheels/tyres on the MR2 though, this is the 3rd one we've had (all Turbo as well) and have had 17's on the other ones and it took some time to get those right, and they always tramlined anyhow! I'm personally not a great fan of the MR2 and believe them to feel a little skittish on the front anyhow due to the total lack of weight up there! I also find the ABS on them a pain when your braking over bumpy ground as the front gets light so the abs kicks in etc... that was on the previous cars, not had that on our current one?!
  2. Having just had some coilovers and adjustable top mounts fitted to our Rev 2 Tubby we're now experiencing some skittish-ness on the front end still, making it 'feel' unstable at speed and my wife is worried about driving it too fast! Also, the steering wheel doesn't flick back to centre with any great speed when you left go after going through a corner.. it just feels a little wrong! So, I thought I'd post up the alignment settings we went with and are looking for any advise on tweaking the settings to make the car feel a little more stable: front - left / right Camber: -0deg 48' / -0deg 48' Castor: +3deg 57' / +3deg 52' Toe: +0deg 04' / +0deg 04' Spring Rate: 170lbs Damper Setting: 6 out of 12 rear - left / right Camber: -1deg 20' / -1deg 10' Toe: +0deg 05' / +0deg 05' Spring Rate: 230lbs Damper Setting: 6 out of 12 I was also wondering whether it could be caused by worn bushes... the front shocks were clearly the originals and shot to hell, just wondering if the bushes could be the same and worth replacing? I should also point out that this is my Wife's every day car and not something we track so the settings are more for road use and tyre life... Any advice welcome please Cheers Jon
