exactly this, the poweflex bush is perfect, increase dynamic camber during cornering and stands the tyre more upright
GR Yaris Hello there
- Thread starter Michael Knight
- Start date
The whiteline better for you imho, still some flex for NVH on rough nordic roads and as you say, much less sensitive to corrosion from massive salt water invasion in the front wheelwell...

What about my fear that you can't adjust it and that you have to insert both totally equally (I don't know how difficult it is to get this 100% right), so that the values are not too different between left and right?
Slight difference in rotation position won't give large differences as you're near the top of a sine curve, also there is no big adverse effect of having slightly different caster left/right, see it all the time on alignment sheets and nobody ever said "I think I have 0,2683° more caster left then right" when at the wheel. All other values can be adjusted at alignment.
So the biggest downside with slightly differing caster numbers are a triggered OCD
In case of trigger alert, just remember that the steering wheel and you as a driver are like a thousand times more off from perfect equal number from centerline. Not sitting in the middle of the car is so wrong on so many levels I heard that accepting this fact of car life might actually cure OCD for yourself and three generations forwardit doesn't solve triggered OCD

Btw. now I also think that the Whiteline version is probably the better option for me too (bad road etc.).

@Michael Knight, I was under the impression that you had concerns around the use of such aftermarket solutions for daily use:
Also, I believe @MarkoS mentioned about the Whiteline Antilift introducing some harshness while driving slowly.
GR Yaris - Rear Toe adjustment
Good discussion, still trying to find that golden compromise between less understeer especially on throttle and on limit / evasive manouvre stability. Understeer can be controlled by using weight transfer through trail braking, lift off or left foot braking, but that isn't the safest driving...www.gr-zoo.com

Yes I know. Looks like nankangs are happy on front axle so lets see how the current tyres wear
Added 2nd air channel on right fender to improve air flow from oil cooler.
Temps seemed ok now on track, waters didn't go above 98'C and oil 120'C.

Had fun at local track.
Tried to hunt sub 45s lap and got it eventually even though not really good driving - maybe at least 0.5s room to improve there.

tried to do some small improvements for oil cooler air flow but not fully satisfied.
Though today when testing multiple WOT pulls in 16'C ambient oils didn't go above 95'C so maybe its ok for "normal" weather. for hot track day (+30') C likely would need a bigger cooler.
If I had to do it again would likely use Setrab6 25 row. for next summer will put 82'C thermo so it will help little bit.

We are visiting Jari-Matti Latvala's rally experience & museum on Saturday - any greetings from the forum we should deliver?
Looking forward seeing Matti when he joines the WRC Rallye in Germany. You may ask ihm if he already knows Walter Roehrl - old star and new star, probably they'll have a chat (Walter will watch that event)...
Bye for now Fred

Few good rally roads ahead tomorrow, Savo and Viitapohja.
Tempting to do Ouninpohja too but lets see how it goes.

Swapped EBC RPX to stock pads as they were worn. Getting same pads for next year.
Even though there still was some pad left, the initial bite was noticeably less grippy so pads in their EOL.
Brake disc Thickness 26.4mm.
As a side note: Nice to do brake job as car was just at 40tkm service - all bits loose and pretty.
45min swapping the pads and tires, no hammer etc. needed for pin removal.
Found also old pad separation tool from garage which helps in getting the pistons away.
Cup2 seems to wear nicely too though more camber in front would maybe be a good idea.

Had fun at the track. Have had few times the snap off oversteer on faster corners, usually when driving over curb stone. Not really liking the behaviour, so maybe better suspension is a good idea when doing faster runs on track.
little slide moment at 140km/h
Best run on the Alastaro long track

little bit toe in in rear. Yes, Wouldn't like use toe out with few faster slideys that I've had on two different tracks.
Rear seems to snap quite quickly if driven over curb / painted surface.
