hodge Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 hi guys the supra had the geometry set at the weekend the guy who set it told me for a fast road/track setup he would set it a degree out as in the bottom of the wheels kicked out a degree does this sound right to you as he seemed abit of a bull sh%§er. Thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 I went to revolution but it wasn't the usual guy who was doing the work and the fella who I delt with was a lazy tosser.

sprag5 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I worry bout the people who work in there, I went in for some 8mm vacuum tube and taking his advice he sold me 4mm telling me that it would stretch to 8mm and that there was no such thing as 8mm vacuum tube, After 30 seconds on the net I realised he had took me for a ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazB Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Not being an expert on track/road set up i think it's right that the wheel leans inwards at the top, giving better grip during cornering. For drag set up it's the other way, to allow the tyre to run flat when under load through acceleration. This may help you http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=38437&d=1151080902 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssupra Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Dont know about the settings for fast road / track. I had a set of Falken 452's fitted yesterday and the geometry set to within spec. It feels so much better than before as I never felt confident in pushing the car. Cost me £160, but well worth the money IMO. Better be careful now Elite in Rainham If I can, I'll post up the pics of the before and after printout.

jackso11 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 did they test it first and then advise getting it done? or do they test and then advise? Seems like a lot to pay if there isn't anything that needs sorting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Well anyways does anyone know anything about camber positions LOL. mate speak to Matt or dude @ AFR as they have a full race Geo at their place and will be able to advise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 hi guys the supra had the geometry set at the weekend the guy who set it told me for a fast road/track setup he would set it a degree out as in the bottom of the wheels kicked out a degree does this sound right to you as he seemed abit of a bull sh%§er. Thanks John Yes you would put as much negative camber into the car as possible. (Negative camber is as you describe, the top of the wheel further towards the car centreline than the bottom of the wheel). However.... It's not as simple as just banging a load of camber and settling for that. As you adjust the camber he would also need to adjust the toe as well. Both of which can drastically improve / reduce performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4packet Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Before and after printout of geometry setup. Feels much better now. That's a fairly aggressive setup there for the road. Do you find the rear end tramlines badly? I'm getting this with a not dissimilar rear geometry. Also interested to know how your inner edges hold out front and rear. Have no idea what you use your car for, so just assuming its a road car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcgoo Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Here is what I have after a fast ROAD car setup: http://idisk.me.com/stefanbovien/Public/geoAFTER.jpg That camber seems a little uneven. Are all your 'Fast roads' right handers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Nearly a whole degree differant on the front as far as camber is concerned and 1/2 a degree differant on the rear !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I could be wrong about this but I'd imagine the first page that marksupra posted is the after and the second is the before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodilx6 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 That camber seems a little uneven. Are all your 'Fast roads' right handers? Well, this was actually done by a..hmmm..very highly acclaimed guy. The differences from side to side was set to counter the most roads having a bit of an angle towads the side. This should reduce tire wear. I'm in Denmark, so UK cars should be set up mirrored right/left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
