Re: Why is the libra trying to kill me?
I have recently had the Libra set up by Dave Gallop - website is Track Developments The very nice computer print out from 4 wheel laser everything kit - exactly like yours was not accurate Front was .5 degrees out Rear camber was .5 pos one side and .5 neg the other Go to Dave
Now I can lean on the corners - whell is alive but car tracks straight

Re: Why is the libra trying to kill me?
By memory
Front
.5deegree toe in front - whether toe in or out seemed to be optional at the front If mainly for track use toe out can give better turn in - for road toe in is more stable Not paralleel important as it loads up the slop in the system which if parallel and in straight line can wander
I have 05 neg - and .5 positive to front camber Dave talked through fitting a rose joint to the top of the wishbones to make easily adjustable Will be looking at that
Rear
.5 toe in 1.5 neg camber
Wheel weights were way out = now corrected for one driver only Rake was front up by 14mm -0 now 10mm rake down to front
Spring rates
Dave does not think 'heavy' springing is right If too stiff is both very uncomfortable but also stops the wheel tracking undulations on the road Dampers and roll bars should be used for this He considered the spring rate on the rear to be too fast / stiff We left it however as the 3.0v6 Duratec will be heavier and with reduce the rate
Sorry for epistle
Pete

Re: Why is the libra trying to kill me?
I'd be very interested to hear about the v6 Duratec conversion....What's the plan regarding suspension and engine frame?
Sounds exciting.

Engine 'placed into position' fits with clearance Will need to slightly alter bulkhead aka GTM v6 but not as much 60degree v6 versus 90 degree v6 Clears standard suspension Will upload pics soon
