one of the lads at work is building an xr3i rally car and is givin me some tips on the setup of my car, i asked him if he was fitting adjustable tca's and could he source me some
this is where he baffled me, he said he could get me some adj tca's but i would need extended drive shafts to go with them???????????
is this true or is he feeding me duff info??????

hes also givin me drawings for some bits to make the rear camber adjustable which invoves enlarging the holes on the shockers and fitting longer pinch bolts, ive made these my self on the lathe and im gunna fit them in the next couple of weeks, has any one had any experience with these on a rst before?????

one for nuts_r_us possibly??

cheers matt

 

well just looked ta my rear tyres and i need sumit like what ya made! inside edge is goin!

 

Answer to Q1 is no. If hes pushing the camber out that much on the front it will not handle right.

Answer to Q2
I tried that on my Mk4 rallycar. I extended the holes and fitted camber bolts in. All it sucseeded in doing was bending the strut at the bottom on full hard sideways chuck. Not one of the better mods.

TCA's are Ł160 and advertised on here btw

 

The easiest answer if you want to stick to rear wishbone set-up is get the inner end of the wishbone rose jointed so it makes it adjuststable.

That was the only thing that worked for me before going full Gp A

We can do this, and don't have the pics as I chucked the wishbones in the bin when we did the back end conversion

 

How about relocating the rear inner wishbone mounting point a little higher and inwards. This will reduce the camber and also raise the roll center.

 

Difficult to do though...have you ever tried to get a drill up there?
