anyone got any ideas how to gain negative camber,is there a different lower control arm i can use of a different car or do i have to have adjustable tops on the struts

adjustable tops

also for camber I fitted some ford cam adjuster lower pivot bolts
the bolts are 14 mm not 12 per staz so the steel inner bush was drilled out

the f/end bolt holes were slotted and some small steel blocks were welded on for the cam adjusters to work against

not a lot of work but it did help with F/E set up then the top caps have been set for quite a bit of caster

hope that is some help

gidday cheater,did you get the pics of the cordia race car i sent you before christmas and im now building a starion race car

I too have fraud (ford) camber adjuster lower pivot bolts
they work really well, the hole position was moved outward
8 mm and we still have enough tread on the (outer) tie-rods
We havent done anything to the strut tops though.
take a few pic`s soon.
Cheers:Phil.

no I didn't get them !!

are you doing the staz for Morwell ? if so it should work better than the cordia
there
I was going to do a starion myself at one stage but stuck with the sigma due to the weight
as the staz would have been 150 - 200 Kg heavier that the sigma

yeah im from the morwell area,i won my class for the year and 4th outright for the club and the best time i got for the year is 36.50,so im pretty happy for my first year,here goes this year,cheers mate

36.50 is a good time for a cordia as its a bit hard to hook to tyres up on a FWD car
I only ran at morwell 2 times last year first at the FFCC day and got a 37.4 in the wet which was the second quickest time on the day from all classes
and the IPRA day that was the same day as most from the valley would have been running a Sale RAAF base
and the time that day was 36.36 I'm a bit out of practice and could have used some new rubber ( tyres have been on the wheels since 2004 and are getting to hard and are a bit flat spotted in places )

hopefully I get to have a run before the new track opens
