Hi Rob – There are some pics of the seat on post #4, but I’ll shoot some detailed pics this weekend for you.
Gotzy – I’ll try to comment on combining the camber and KPI. I could be wrong but I don’t see any advantage to combining the two. In LSR I think less KPI is desirable, to a degree, because it minimizes weight transfer, or chassis jacking from steering input. In circle dirt track racing we increased KPI and went faster on moderately banked, wet tracks because we could influence outside tire bite/traction with a steering input. Watch a youtube sprint car in car video and watch the drive work the wheel in a corner to tune the tire bite.
Ideal caster? Hmmm, some like tall girls, others short girls, It’s what works for you. Nonetheless, I have a theory, I think extreme caster exacerbates the problem on a straight axle car and gives a similar effect to the sprint car. I currently have my car set at 12 degrees (max) with adjustability to walk it down to 7 degrees. I’m with SPARKY and Odem, and think less caster will be better. I’ve left adjustability so I don’t have to cut things off if I’m wrong.
I might be delusional, but I swear I recall some GM car with POSITIVE, or zero caster from the 70”s.
As for the 2jz, I’m contemplating running an R154a trans, what are your thoughts?
