GR Yaris Hello there

Can the camber bolt move? Only the clamping force keeps it in place because it's narrower than the hole it sits in. Apparently they come loose easily unless you really torque them down good.

possible but would guess to feel something vague in steering if this would be the case - I clamped them quite tightly but good to check anyway.
 
Just took the car off to alignment - don't know if it was the smartest guy setting up but he didn't find anything weird in front and said that front camber would not be adjustable(?) (most likely didn't open the bottom camber bolts). They checked that lower camber bolts were well attached. Had some toe out in front and toe in to the back.

Guess they still mixed minutes to degress but whatever.. Went with DeanoS setup (or that as the idea).
Steering felt ok (better than before) so guess this is fine.

The weird sound seemed to be less even though they did nothing so Maybe it was just some weird s%%t ..

Before you had too much toe in, which also results is dead steering feel as both tyres are fighting each other so there is no feel of transition in grip.

I personally prefer toe in with this amount of camber but if you like the toe out that's fine... Maybe works better on your slightly stretched nordic tyres and will work with summers obviously...

Yeah as stated in before it is worth checking the alignment as mine was quite off aswell.
Let's see how it goes with this toe setup, I'll fine tune this when getting summers on - friend has a shop with equipment so easier to do there in the future.

Car seems to be brisk with ethanol mix as getting same performance as with DTUK.
With better IC and catalyst it would be even brisker..

Need to test with less fuel If I manage to go sub 6s.
Got already to 6.05s but it was in 1.27% downhill so not applicable.

Insert assembled. Quite easy job after you get the undertray out..

Did a testdrive after install and no added noises or vibrations..

First time at ice track - its just a epic machine. First laps were easier as track has more grip but to the end track started to get really slippery.
Was really fun to play with weight transfer and toss the car around! IC might be good update if doing more track time as heat soak seems to become issue if pushed more any longer.
