I have a bunch of wheels, I have done setups on angles, but everything relates, really gotto write stuff down.
on rain my setup with the KW + cup tires were plain SCARY, I went up o rouge in 4th and 5th gear sideways, and I could continue to go sideways the entire straight, also under boost in 5th gear, pretty much regardless of speed, it would send car sidways when it it.
would be interesting to see what kind of angles people here run, I've only compared it to a few other local 944's but we dont have that many race rigged here, only 2-3 fast ones in entire country.

I'm curious if anyone else has had issues when adjusting bump on the rear of their Motons?

Thanks Dea, I couldn't see why Dan was having problems that I've not heard others having before?

In thinking about it , I think there was a large washer that was covering the adjustment. I will have to check again as I haven't looked under the car in several months. My memory which is good but very short, seems to remember; now that the question has been raised, that when we put the car up on the rack to adjust the rear bump, I couldn't so we took the bolts off and removed the washer, adjusted and didn't put the large washer back on. As soon as I can I will try to take a look and see.

I just raced today in the POC Red Group.. .Cup Race. Out of the top 35 cars in th4e POC, I started 20th, and finished 12th. That was Saturday.
Today, I started 12th, and finished 11th.
All on very worn, 15x+ heat cycled, NT-01's. Amazing really....
I'll post some video. But the deal is that I've got the setup down. And you don't need more than a 315 in the rear. It won't help. It's the front that needs as much traction as possible... even with the 315's up front. That's because there's more weight on the front wheels than there is on the back.
Yeah... had a great time this weekend for sure.

The Weltmeister (original Weltmeister bar). Not only is it gone, I've taken out 4 turns out of the rear wing, which is a lot. The car is working real good.

I herd that the ls1 conversion is about +40kg in the front over a 951 i would say part of the 75kg differnce is that its perhaps he's takjen a bit more out of the rear than the front ..lexan hatch+ rear seat? FG roof
my new turbo is at least double the weight of the standard one and my intercooler would have to be triple the weight of the standard one
