[Error404]

Are you building additional castor into the new turret top Lance, or using secondary adjuster plates on those top mounts?

Not sure at the mo, dont need loads of castor as not useing it for drift, think i have come up with a cunning way to get a few more degrees tho,

Nice. Should be able to strip a fair chunk of redundant weight out of the back and doors when this is in.

This is going to be really interesting to follow!!

I´m curious if you will enjoy it as much as the skyline on the track. The 5 cylinders will release enough of power, but to be sincere the handling and especially the understeer will need some serious attention.

Perhaps not completely fair, but comparing the Beemer M3 racecar to the S2 the speed into the turn is significantly slower with the S2, although the attack out of the turn can be done earlier with the 4wd. But it is not as gratifying.. when the front racing tires looses grip and the car starts to plow .

I would love to drive the S2 with even weight distribution... but as a daily driver and only occasional track day car, that will not happen for me. But moving everything to the rear (water cooler, oil dry sump? ) and loads of glassfiber/carbonfiber and less downforce up front + wider front tires..... huge rear wing, etc. ?

Well it has been a bizzy day today in the workshop. pads and pens have had a hammering. kettle has been abused. lots of head scratching.

After a lot of measuring the camber top mounts i had won't work that well.

so after a few hours on the net i have ordered these. minimal mods to the turret to fit and give me Castro and camber adjustment.
