Camber for semi slicks

[Ted]

One important factor here is number of heat cycles. When running older rubber, I generally found that they come up pretty quick and then go away pretty quick too. Doesn't seem to have that much to do with tyre pressures at that point. New tyres which are run in nicely seem to be more consistent than those which I bought as used tyres. Compounds also made a difference.

BTW I still use a guide of 36hot as a starting point, fine tune from there. On a track day, it may mean bleeding air out all day as they never really get cold enough from a pressure point of view. And its quite amazing how much pressure they can drop in that one in lap.

Mind you, I am no circuit racing guru, I must get bored or dizzy!

OT but how would you run tyres in nicely??

other than that. im getting my post offset bush install alignment done tomorrow and i was thinking the following specs for an NB8A N/A on semi slicks.

front
caster: max caster
camber: -3.5
toe: 0.05-0.1 toe in

rear
camber:-3.25
toe: 0.05-0.1

anyone got any thoughts or suggestions??

toe out at the front will increase steering response/shapr corner turn-in, not sure about the rear

are alignment settings a really well gaurded seceret or something??

no just that there is 1000 ways for allignment setting & 100 000 different opinions.
people like CT. started with the basics. then he went out there mucked around & has worked it out himself and has become an authority on it. Theats what most racers have done.
