As with most things in life The answer to your question is: It Depends... - It will vary based upon driver preference, tires & pressure, engine, track vs. autocross vs. daily driver, etc. What are the Factory Recommended settings? - Keeping that in mind, here are some numbers I've come across. used #1 last year and didn't have any gardening adventures 1) Camber -0.9 all around. Toe in: Front 1/8" rear 1/16". 2) Camber -1 to 1.5 all round. Toe: 0. track use 3) Camber 1deg 20' +/- 0 deg 15' (Negative). Toe Tracking : 0deg 20' +/- 0deg 10' Toe in 4) -1 1/2 camber FandR , 1/16 toe front and 0 rear. 5) Camber : 1deg 30' +/- 0 deg 15' (Negative) 6) Toe: 1/8 in (total) as a start; if you have huge torque, add a little more rear toe in at first until you get used to the car. Half degree negative camber in the rear, nearly a full degree in the front. Harder driving on stickier tires will tolerate bigger negative camber, but will wear quicker in a straight line and won't stop as well. KitCat: –1.8 all around cheers

So Sorry for the delay.. Work got in the way this week. - I also recommend earlier threads regarding setup for other makes.

If you're interested in a Birkin talk to Tom Carlin (visiting the factory this week). I expect that with shipping, etc it does not make sense to purchase modules piecemeal. Building is loads of fun: lots of :smash: and :banghead:. Depending on what Croc's weekly search turns up you can probably purcase used for less than a new build. If you are uncommitted by summer, drive down to NJ to see the full selection of sevens. With any luck Shane will come with his Storker too.

Several years ago i met a gentleman who spotted me across a parking lot and ran over. In his 20's he'd had a series I Lotus overseas. He sold the car when he returned to the US and has forever regretted it... -

Addendum to the suave stork message If you're looking for a direct replacement: I discovered my car was originally supplied with a NipponDenso forklift alternator. It worked well but no one could identify it because their searches were only automotive.

Once you're done with Croc's list you can surf over here for some stylish attire and the finishing touches: http://odditymall.com/giant-cat-face-tote-bag http://odditymall.com/niceballs-scrotum-stress-ball http://odditymall.com/shipping-container-pools http://odditymall.com/darth-vader-shift-knob

Glad to hear. ps: it's salt, not snow... I've also found a few good routes up through the Berkshires into southern Vermont.

Jay I think you definitely need a lift for this repair, also replacement Lucas Smoke :rofl: e-mail me if you'd like a hand, I may be able to stop by Saturday. p.

I second this. I elevate the car to a comfortable work height. Remove seats, tunnel cover & prop shaft. Remove all ancillaries from the engine and secure the engine with a strap just behind the 4th cylinder spark plug (approx balance point). I like to use a chain hoist to take the weight as the engine and gearbox mounts are unbolted. Wide body should be easier. If you have the narrow body frame be prepared: iirc; left side mount bracket:engine bolts need to be removed. Right side mounting bracket:frame bolt can be removed. Oh, and don't forget to remove your grounding strap, clutch hydraulics or engine sensor connections. I always think I'm ready to start Unbolting and often find one of these still connected during my final check. Once you've done this 3 or 4 times you'll have the procedure down. Ps: gear oil will spill out the tail of your gear box if you tip it down. Have a dolly in place on the floor to receive the engine.

thanks Roman

Round trip we did about 150mi. Unfortunately I was having too much fun with the road and scenery and don't remember seeing you xflow7, or taking any pictures. The weather was a little brisk when we started, then overcast all day. I started to feel a few raindrops on my forehead on the last leg of the trip, then a lite drizzle started 1 mile from home. I think this was pretty perfect timing. BlackHole is already working on a better itinerary: we'll be sure to take a few pictures to get some eye candy to share with everyone. cheers p.

Blackhole and I stopped by the Toymaker Cafe next to Lime Rock Park for breakfast and a blat today. Great food (the waffles and corned beef hash are strongly recommended). Oh, and roads were phenomenal too. We even managed to get home before the rain started. p.

Say it ain't so croc... Are you trying to make room for a miata? Joking aside: From what I hear the state registration alone is worth the price!
