So that's what "no negitive" camber looks like.

Nice pics, but it looks like you could use a little more Air and or Camber, the fronts look like they are ready to pop the bead...

Awesome pics! I'll try to go back to VIR someday. I have not brought my Celica there yet.

Why doesn't Toyota give us some negative camber from the factory? At least -1° would be nice and safe, though maybe it would hurt the oh, so popular, 0-60 time.

nice.. keep at it. don't forget to rotate the front tires. there probably worn out down to the sidewall. dial in some -1.5 up front nextime you hit the tracks again.

care to share the specs of your car? ie, tire, tire psi, springs, dampers, etc..

Thats all stock 7k on the tac. No modifications and i forgot to put a little more air in the tires. I usually take my spyder out there but I i needed a little practice with the FWD. These are the pics of my last trip out there. I have 2o neg camber on that car. With full TRD Sportivo suspension and braces.8Legs Home Page. (http://8legs.rmoc.net)

oh really! Yeah i'm quite happy with the sportivos as well. I did swap the sportivo rear with a 22mm sway. i'm running -2.2 front camber as well. i think it can use a little more.. -2.5 when i put her on the rack again. I just ran the streets of willow this friday (feb22) for the 5th time now and I'm bored too death of that track regardless of configuration. If only VIR was a state or two away from cali:(

next event for me will be on april 6/7 at buttonwillow hosted by NASA. john hotchkis will be there driving the Hotchkis celica and we will be running in the same group!! i'm hoping to get some good footage of that day.

I hate the fact that the two closest roadcourses to me are 3 hrs away each way. I would love to hit laguna seca and button willow and a dozen more but just cant get away. So i will play at home and hope i win the lottery.:lol:

It's not perfect here in Monterey, either. Laguna is only 10 miles away, but it's not that easy to get onto. I will, though- My greatest wish for my time here is to get out there.

The other tracks are about 3 hours away: Buttonwillow, Sears Point to the South and North.

I'll get there, too!
