light in higher speeds (unstable), not as my previous mk1. What do you guys think I should do to resolve this, is an alignment due? I had Mantheys setup
(alignment) on my mk1, what shall I do? Thanks!

They charge $90/hr.
The Porsche harnesses are not compatible with HANS. Currently I have no plans to go the HANS route.
Anyway - I was at Summit Point on Saturday and whatever setup FarnbacherLoles did ..... it was awesome. Felt in total control, car was controlable at the limit. The PS2's are really communicative at the limit. Best time ever.....
Only thing I know of the setup is that they set neg camber at 2.5 fr and 2 rr. The bars are one off full stiff up front and one off full soft at the rear.

Chet,
Can you please call and ask what settings they did and also what else would they recommend for an advanced driver for track only.
Thank you very much.

That 3 point harness installation is not safe, the belt MUST be routed through the seatback opening (outer side) and the lap bet opening (outer side)!
As for ideal geometry set up, there is no such thing since it is all down to personal preference.

I was told to run the 8 degree shims in the back as the rear did feel loose but controlable on high speed turns. I could not get the covers off the adjustment holes on the rear spoiler.
Also thanks again re the 3-point belt. I know it is something I need to fix.

CME-those plugs for the rear wing are a PITA to remove. Both Holger and I were careful prying the damn thing out but to no avail paint still chipped off. They are stuck there pretty good but its removable for sure. Mike
