Sweet, thanks!

 

Depends on events you plan to run and tires you will use. With street tires I run around -1 camber on the 350Z. Just 1/8 inch of toe out up front and 0 toe in rear. If you were to use DOT R tires like Hooisers they need tons of negative camber - likely more than you can grab with stock suspension and ride hieght. Most aggressive Z cars I see go with about -2.75 up front and about -2.5 rear. But it depends on whether you are getting even heat across your tire. For me its not a set it and leave it excercize. I'm always plying with alignment.

On my 370 Z when I ran it on the track I had -4 camber in front and -3.75 rear. I run about 1/8 toe out on the 370Z.

 

I got aligned yesterday. Ended up getting a bit more camber then stock and a touche of toe.

btw you should come to trackmasters thunderhill on the 7th

 

I will be in Maui ...Trackmaster or Maui? Maui Wins! Have fun out there!

 

id do the same thing.

thanks!

 

Fun course at Old Alameda Naval Air Base with PCA tomrrow. Nothing like 80 second run! And we get 12 runs typically! Lots of time to play with setup etc. This will be great as its a combination of grippy concrete and loose asphalt so really can work on dialing in suspension and tires. I

 

Is there anything going on this Sunday at marina Autox?

 

Played with the contour roam today...

Only event....autox or track day within an hour was on a lot the size of a football field. I like the camera, but I need to bump up the mic sensitivity. Only recorded in the base 720p 30FPS format....

Just ran on 255 star specs (STR form). It was nice having my lost horsepower back.

you bought the $135 CONTOUR?

looks good..

 

No. It was 199 shipped. It is the Roam. It seems to be a bit brighter than the older one...

 

I love living in a region with strong competition. We had a good group do a pseudo compressed tour event today. Essentially, one course in the morning, then another in the afternoon. Lots of fast guys showed up.

6 trophy spots for the pro class...(pax only).
1. Jr. Johnson (4 or 5 Jackets)...and really beat down on the rest of us today...badly.
2. Brian Burdette...drove the wheels off his ESP Camaro.
3. Sam Strano....broke in his new Z06 (already prepped and 234324 time national champion)
4. Courtney Cormier...current ASP National Champion in Jr's car.
5. Little ole me.
6. Dean Sapp....the myth...the legend in a GS Genesis.

Probably the best event I ran all year. Car is really running well...too bad it is at the end of the year.

I'm jealous you guys can just run all year...we only really have a few events before it's shut down for the winter .

 

I got a ride in a new z06 on slicks the other day, makes me want a z06 now lol

 

This is the Z06 that Jr and Cormier have driven to the past 2 or 3 National championships. It's FAST!. Crazy thing, this car could probably make another 40-50whp and be within the rules in SP. It just has header back exhaust...that's it for power. It is prepped to the max in terms of weight, suspension, etc though.

Yep we run 12 months a year here. My favorite is New Years AX. And we have great competition. I missed my favorite event this past weekend. Just a couple of "fast" guys. LOL!

AAS events I'm lucky to break into top 40 in my BSP car. Its like the National Champion invitational series in California.

 

I was one of 2 that didn't have at least a Nationals trophy in the Pro class....

I usually Pax around 15ish at D.C. events...which get about 250 entrants. Considering the names around me in the top 20...I'm happy with it given the spec evo pax.

 

My problem is focusing on a single series. We have something like 15 AX clubs locally. I rarely run SCCA. We have Norcal UFO, AAS, Lotus Club, BMW club, 4 Porsche regions, ECSTA, 3 SCCA regions and some special one time events all within 100 miles. We can run events every weekend from March until November. We also have big tour Events and Divisionals in So Cal that add to this mix. The sheer number of clubs tends to limit most events to under 200 but in general the quality is very good.

 

anyone know where I can get SPL PRO LCA bushing pressed in?

 

Harbor Freight sells a hydraulic press for $200 I think. I think there's one in San Jose. There is one in Salinas.

 

id rather not buy one, id rather just have a shop do it lol

 

ZCG can press them in.
