Hi all, I've been lurking here on the list for a while enjoying the (mostly) interesting subjects, and finally I have a reason to post something! :) I autocross a 93 300ZX in FS, and when I had it al

Wow! So what is it that's bending so far that you can't align it back into spec? The Stock-legal solution is to replace the bent part(s), or bend them back if it's the frame itself. There's no rule t

OK, let's look at chapter 13 of the Solo2 rules. Specifically 13.8 SUSPENSION 2nd paragraph, last sentence. "However, no suspension part may be modified for the purpose of adjustment unless such modi

Only if it's a Nissan part (with a regular part number), and the service manual authorizes its use for non-competition purposes. My interpretation of Alan's original message was that the "camber kit"

These are great points, however I'm not sure what the dealer meant by telling me that the cars tend to need more adjustment than the factory adjustments allow. They didn't necessarily say that parts

The common fix (for vw's) even at the dealership for slightly bent knuckles etc... is to simply use a camber eccentric bolt inplace of the normal bolts that attach the strut to the knuckle. My car ha

bent knuckles normal bolts For A2 and later cars (85 on), the "camber bolts" are not eccentric, they just have reduced shank diameter. The VW shop manual specifically calls out these parts and author

You're right, it doesn't say that. I was wrong. There is no requirement that the part be a factory part. Still, it must be *specified by the manufacturer.* And I highly doubt you'll find a factory se

But they might very well say "Get out your grinder and grind a slot"... Witness '98 / '99 neons. Actually, I wonder if any trunk kit stuff made it into a manual? Mark

How about this....would if the "out of spec" was in your favor? Like maybe you have too much negative camber. I wonder how that would be ruled on? PLW

A4 models? I missed something. You mean crash bolts??? If ya do, they won't have them, because they won't work. I believe both cars use shocks, I know the Audi does, haven't seen an S2000 yet (same a

Sam you are right... changing bolts in Shocks, has no effect. I was talking about changing them in the Control Arms... If they made a crash bolt there, then you would gain the camber. Peace, Dave
