Can you get 3 degree camber shims?? Thought the blue disc camber shims only 1.5?

But sorry haven't got any pics, but 3 deg is alot. Go through tyres like no-bodies business!

ah 3 looks sufficient then :p and is there any cons to running camber bolts on front ? this is all just for next summer when i start going to the shows

The front have adjustment on them if its a 6n, undo/loosen the two bolts holding the hub and push top of tyre in till desired camber. but i would suggest a camber gauge or getting it done somewhere so both sides are the same.

Ah, good old gotwood up there! How is that car cymro?

I'm thinking just for shows so if i push full camber on front would it match 3 degrees at rear?

There would be no point as you would have to reset your camber every time you leave a show.

Still going strong and munching through rear bearings and tyres every few thousand miles. :lol:

Forgot to edit but thats actually 8ish degrees of camber.

polomon like i said i only really wanna do it for Bugjam show so will only have them on for the 200 miles it takes to get there and back I'm also going to have to space my wheels out as they look lost in the archs >.<

Have a look at Harley steels build tread bud In mk4 , second page I think , I'm sure he is running 3 degree camber . It looks mad . Dave

You want to add camber for a few hundred miles? Is there really any point? Why not just add a few washers in on the bottom bolts and see how it looks.

Good to hear about gotwood cymro. Totally forgot about that car. Is the htt forum still going?

Not just for the couple hundred miles but the whole weekend at bugjam and possibly for other car shows I might go to ...

Ye, but we are a lot quieter than we used to be. Need more people to liven the place up. I spend more time on here these days.

I visit now and then, but tbh, this is the beat place for polo knowledge. It all got a bit funny when gotwood fell out with whoever over something weird. Not really sure what was going on :?:lol:

Ye. Shame honestly as it was a busy forum till then.

Airdiction has also gone dead as has a few other S. Wales forums.

Half tempted to start a new one sometimes
