Hi Chris

Good to hear from you. Regarding the Ackerman, I have increased it from std by moving the rack rearward. As my car will be mainly road driven I thought the closer I get to true Ackerman ( Ifs that’s right terminology ) the better it would go around tight corners without scrubbing the tyres.
Carroll Smith has also stated in his books that Ackerman has helped with turn in on his later cars, so it cant be that bad : )
Does that help ??

What brake pads are you running ?? Try a set of Ferodo DS2500’s for street / track use, they are great. Don’t require warm up and work brilliant all the way to hot. Or if you want to change your pads at the track, try the DS3000’s, the hotter they get the better they work.

Hi Ricky

Sounds like you’re getting a handle on the settings, it won’t be too long before you’re ahead of those GT3’s

Hi Jim

I never did check the bump steer on the std front end (didn’t have an original rack to check) just whacked in the TE/TF Cortina one where I thought it looked good and had 5/8” bump steer from the start : (
If the front end had more camber gain, could you than run less static camber ??
How much camber gain should you have ?? Buggered if I know !!
