Levin Coupe from Croatia - NOW SR86 with IRS

[ZaX]

My car was on alignement last time who know when, so i went today to a wheels alignement. Best spent 20€ on my car. Car now handles totaly different, handling is much improved. My current setings are:

Camber: -3.00° (used to be 1,6 i 0,7)
Caster: +3.00° (used to be 2,5)
Toe out: 0

No need for negative RCA's since i have camber plates.

Remember....that mounting NCRCA´s will also extend your wheelbase quite significantly. I put the T3´s on mine and the difference is awesome. I will also be installing the camberplates when they arrive, just for the hell of it. Would be cool to get in excess of - 5degree camber :wink:

Altough -5° of camber looks cool, car is prone to much to undesteer.
I tried to drive my car with max camber on my camber plates and handling was bad. too much under.
As for extending the wheelbase, i think this pic explains pretty everything.

now thats one cool corolla you made all yourself zax!

-3° is a lot! cool man

these camberplates look nice! where do get them from? i know some companies sell them but which is best (value for money). maybee you allready did some investigation

2 mo-racing: i orederd camber plates from T3 USA. 170$ + pp. They are best buy IMO.

new toys


Springs 6kg/mm


Before, with koni springs


After, with 6kg/mm springs = same height


new spring vs old spring


i instaled fog lights, need to connect them


also went to MOT station to check my air/fuel mixture (i was running bit lean, now i'm bit rich) and brakes balance.

[mo-racing]

thank´s zax!

tell us how it is to ride 6kg/mm springs. musst be a little on the hard side

for lambda 0.99. i think thats nearly ok. ideal would be 0.9 to 0.95 as far as i know. did you also measure the power output?

hey Zax,

what are the specs of those koni springs btw?

[ZaX]

2 mux: sorry, don't know the koni spring specs

Perhaps some sort of adjustable panhard rod and traction brackets to restore the geometry of the rear wheels. Not much more needed...
