Tony Posted April 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 will be seeing this car in about 8 hours time...... Hello Mat Your driver (forgot his name) left me a phone message and number last week regarding your car but the reception was pants and i couldn't make out the number, hence the reason i didn't contact him. Is the car due for calibration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam_r Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Why do they have stretched tyres? i may be compleatly wrong..... stretched tyres litlit the amount of sidewall flex when cornering. it also makes it easier to brake traction, which in turn = drifty time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam_r Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 WTF tony! driving with your wheels at that camber must be illegal! i cant even bring myself to think of how many cj joint / drive shafts that gets through... oh, and tyres and suspension, and just about anything else to do with the drive train! that car must handle like a POS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 In the UK there's no law on the camber angles but the car must remain "fit to drive" within the manufacturer's guidelines or any mod outside of those declared. Argument could be had that any car with tyre wear/ handling issues would also be outside of the OEM positions so technically breaking the law?

How did he manage to get such insane camber though ? i used to own a mk3 ibiza and there was no way on changing the camber to such an extent to that.. or not that i was aware of!...

Yes..... Angles like toe twist the tyres sidewall momentarily, the stretched tyres and runflats cannot absorb the twist making the car tramline, if the wall becomes to twisted the grip saturates and off you go.
