Tony Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 So here we have a 2018 Porsche GT3 which in essence is a road going race car. These are the OEM camber adjusters. Since this is also intended for the track additional camber adjusters are required, so in this case the wishbones can be shimmed. Front and rear But there's a problem?..... At the rear the GT3 suffers from terrible toe gain on bump and loss on droop. Adding additional camber will amplify this problem making the car un-drivable and definitely not a contender for the track. Porsche's solution is a dynamic toe adjuster, driven electrically. Great idea... Not so sure out of the race community it's the right direction in the normal world and for me the adjustment method, test, tools required has been withheld which i think is very unfair if the car is offered to the mortal man but confined to Porsche for calibration.

Rich Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Can you not do the geo at all then if the data has been withheld? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 I have all the datum but no procedure. Plus it warns us time and time again about a plug-in, so there's some ECU work needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted January 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Doubt it.... I think it's because it's also a track car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
