I'm assuming that is bridge to gantry?

I thought the FWD record for the full lap was 8'16.9" by an R26R.

yeah mate, the full lap is about 30 sec longer , so on paper, both the rs and meg would be in late 7s. my target is still 8 min 30, but 12 sec off last time there may try with 888s, but not sure if will get there this year.

Holy F*ck those are bloddy quick times, ill be aiming for about 9.40 with standard power and i thought that would be a good time !

[jhtrophy]

times just fall with puttin in the laps mate, you just hit a point where you stop enjoying it as you chase the times, people dont get out of way so your lap feels spoilt, you end up forgeting your there to have fun!!! would not bother with stopwatch and just enjoy driving it, i never did until my girlfriend timed it without telling me, was a 9min 5sec i think, and i thought i would be in 10s, so ended up trying.

As I wrote here http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,16370.msg242964.html#msg242964

My car has been aligned in France at these values:

Front:

Caster     L 7°35'    R 7°41'
Camber   L -2°17'   R -2°04'
Toe         L +0°10'    R +0°10'

Rear:

Camber   L -1°56'   R -1°51'
Toe         L +0°05'    R +0°05'
The car is stable enough at high speed and when you jump on the brakes while cornering.
But still, the rear and turns nicely around corner.

I will go the next time for a tiny less front Toe in for a little bit more aggressive turn-in.
The turn-in seems a little bit sticky right now
As said Tony_danza,  about 0°07' each side.

I will also again reduce rear and camber to around -1°40' instead off -1°50'
Parallel Toe at the rear is too alive and loose for me,  I prefer a little bit more stability.

How could you set the front camber to such high values since it can't be done with the OEM setup ?

[laurent.d]

Hi Fuscobal!

Because I have got 10mm extended Morego wishbones which give 20mm wider track and 1°30' more négative camber. That is why I have got 2°10' of negativ camber.

It doesn't look High-tech but gives more camber than TT arms and works very welll.
