Is the place in modesto?

 

Nope, he is playing in the rain at the bay today.

 

Yup...called AutoWorks up off of Bang's Ave.

 

From what I remember from my hanging around my several alignments the rear toe is the one thing that is unusual about the Mini. Ya have to get up in the upper wheel well area to make the adjustment.Seems it is hard to really see how the ajustment is to be done.For the life of me I don't remember if it is a cam type bolt or just a slot. If you can find an old timer who will let you sit in the car for the alignment you've struck paydirt my boy.
Lordy! Watch out for Willum at the track now.

 

I know what I'm shooting for in the front but I get confused....CRS syndrome , on the rear...1/16 toe out or in? In.... I think? Will be in SF on Friday/Saturday, so I going to shoot for next Sat the 19th.

 

I now have over 100K miles. It only took 30 months. I guess it's time to really mod it.

CRS??? Actually unless you want the rear to be super stable(read no rotation) the toe should be at zero not in in the rear.There are lots of ways to set up your car.The one I'm using is Randy Webbs idea for the springs, sway-bar and dampers I'm using which if I recall is exactly what you are using.

Front: one sixteenth toe-out Rear: zero toe
2.25 neg. camber 1.25 neg. camber
factory caster

Sometime this week I'm going to reset the rear dampers to a stiffer setting like yours. Have a great time in The City.Maybe you should meander on down to S.J. for a dinner at Yankee Pier with Steve. Suppose to be top notch.

 

Holly Cow Man!!!!!!! some one has got to nail your shoes to the ground. That is unreal.

 

I think the next 100K should go a little slower, unless I go to Thunderhill a lot this year.

Willum let's try this one more time.

Front : Camber -2.25
Toe-out , one sixteenth (quicker turn-in)
Caster , factory

Rear : Camber -1.25
Toe , zero

 

Careful that is sounding like some sort of commitment.

 

Dave will let you sit in the car while he works on it. Atleast he did with me.

 

CRS....Can't Remember Sh*t.
Thanks for the settings and our suspensions components are the same, but mine is stiffer in the rear and 1 turn off full soft in the front. Hopefully I can tinker with it at T-hill next month.
We are going into SF via BART ($40 to park at the Hotel...what's with that?) and I'm leaving Saturday afternoon to take care of some things in Modesto then pick her up from BART on Sunday. + It's kind of a "girls" weekend so I don't want to or need to "crash" the party!

 

Cliff,

When are they going to post the new auto cross schedule?

 

Maybe another possibility for a track day! And pretty cheap too

Good price. Good time of year. Good cause. Minis and Miatas are very close in performance. Where is the down side?

Brad I don't know but I'll find out the auto-x schedule.

 

It's on a Monday....for those of us that WORK another vacation day down the tubes.

 

I see your working hard again today.

 

YUP...that would be me hardly working Doing some on-line training that is very boring, but something that I have to do each year.

 

I bet I know why Dave puts you in the car during an alignment.

 

Is it 3 track days in this car or 3 track days total?

 

 

if things work out i just might be able to meet you all for most of these dates.

 

wo who! a track day on my day off , now if i can find the finances , but i due have time

 

Chris,
Thanks for posting this year's SCCA schedule. I'm off on the weekends now, so hopefully I can tag along with you all now.
