Sunset Red 1.4 TSI(TFSI) GT Sport - daily drive & track car
rex:
Well guys, the preparations are done so The Green Hell awaits me :grin:. I am go do go. All I have to do is to put my wheels, jack, discs, pads, bolts, DV, oil, anti freeze, etc in the car.
Unfortunately all my friends backed up at the last minute so I will be going there all alone :driver:. Hope the weather is good!
Today I made the final adjustments including the geometry adjustment.
During this step I realized that my car is quite low because I could not get the car on the geometry stand without using some wood. The front splitter was in the way :grin:. Can't imagine big al :drinking: going there with his car.
And the next thing is I realized was that the bruce was right about the toe setup. I had the chance to drive my care with identical camber and caster setups but with 16 min toe in or 20 min toe in (total). I can tell you the difference is huge. With the 20 min setup you can fell the car is more stable, more responsive in a word better. Thanks again for this info, I really appreciate it.
I might try even more toe in in the future. :innocent:
Here is the final setup...
I told my mechanic that I want the camber to be close to 2.30' so he made them exactly that. This is one of my most "beautiful" setups yet :smiley:.
All the best!
Top Cat:
Good luck!, be safe. :driver:
the bruce:
Yes, a very beautiful alignment. :happy2:
From me as well best wishes, be careful. :wink:
Keep in mind you have much to loose and nothing to win (just the ''goldene Ananas'' we use
to say here).
Remember Laurent had a huge crash with his A3 this year and I had a (smaller) one as well.
:driver:
rex:
Thanks guys! :smiley: I will try not to take any chances. I'll see how that goes. My primary goal is to came back just like I left (in one piece and the car also).
The weather is not looking to good at the moment but fingers crossed.
fuscobal:
Have a pleasant trip and lots of good fun rex. Take care and call me from time to time to tell me how it goes :) !
