Lulz.. so how'd mazda do when they ran themthere paris-dakar proteges anyhow? :-D

Lol you should see it in person, maybe this week i can get some pics and vids. I really need to get some scale pics just to show how big it is. I have come to the conclustion that these tires are just about the biggest tire you can fit under a bg car with out major modifications and huge wheel spacers or huge offset wheels.

for the front, as close to zero toe as possible, max of 1/8" toe-in. factory sets it for toe in so you get understeer, because stupid people can cope with that better than the back end swinging around. for the rear, zero toe also, as little toe-in as possible. toe-out on the back makes for even more twitchiness than toe-out in front.

Well i measured all of the wheels today with the magic string method and came up with 1/8" toe in on all 4 wheels.for now that is fine. But i have negative camber on the passenger front and positive camber on driver front. Either i am going to slot the strut holes or get camber plates to fix that.

[SgtRauksauff]

is something bent/twisted? is the little "nipple" on the strut mounts facing inward on both sides?

Im not sure i havent checked yet. I am getting adjustable camber plates for the front so im not really worried.
