Just thought I would see if some new changes I made to the car make sense with everyone elses understanding. Car had some slow speed push so I bumped front camber to -2.9 from -2.8 and then in order to increase rear stability at higher speeds I lowered the rear of the car so it's corner balanced and closer to even in front and rear ride height.

Obviously they are minor changes but car is working well.

How does everyone like to set rear camber. I am at 2.6 and wear is pretty even but how do you tell in driving dynamics that you are running to much?

 

Yeah, I do my own alignments now too. I hate going to shops around here. Just do it at a shop one time so you know you have a good place to start from. Then only make a change to one end of the car at a time and do a test drive afterwards. If the steering wheel is still straight, that means you still have a good thrust angle. If it's off, adjust based on how much it's off. It's a pain in the butt but it beats paying through the nose and taking time off work. Also, you'll have a new "relative" measurement that's based on your toe plates. The good thing about relative numbers that only correlate to your tools is that you are more likely to tune based off what the car is telling you to do than what the internet is telling you to set the car at.

Josh, I'm at 900 front and 750 rear now and I like it.... after today. Look. I shared.

 

Good job at sharing matt sharing is caring according to some commerical I keep seeing on tv.

That's close to what I'm at but your sways are way different then me. Winning formula is doing a alignment tomarrow and my event today got canceled because of rain. So I'll report back after next weekend.

 

I'm still struggling a little to get my car back together. Anyone know anyone who is selling an AP2 stock diff? I need it for two reasons - I want a second housing for the OS Giken separate from the stock Torsen, and right now I'm trying to source a ring & pinion as mine appears to have been damaged with the OS Giken failure (and they're backordered from Honda)

Any help / leads appreciated!

Annie, I live 45 mins away from one of the biggest s2000 part out guys! I'll pm you his number and s/n.

I couldn't pm you for some reason so I posted it on your wall.

annie, he said hes having PM issues but hes home and you can call him. Hes got a ap2 diff with 37,000 miles on it. The number is on your s2ki wall.

glad I could help.

 

Thanks Josh, the part out guy is a few blocks from my house in the same subdivision. Annie, If you need anything, feel free to pm me.

Thanks Josh & Marc - for some reason I didn't see Josh's reply but now have seen both - I sent him an e-mail!! Thanks

Annie, I was at David's house last week to pick up an axle, so I can confirm as of last week that he had a diff sitting in his garage and ready to go. GL!!

Just thought I would post video of a very painful day one at the GLD Divisional at Peru. Even with the billion shifts, I was just .2 and .1 away from the Tirerack guys in their MX5 with their new OSG diff. So, I may have been in 3rd and I drove like an @$$ (just like may A/B Stock days), I still consider it a moral victory for me.
