Great pics from Automass. It was also looking great at US AIR. Makes me want to practice and push my 8 much further.

I hear ya. I got some new pieces for my car but I have to wait for warmer weather before I can put on my new wheels. I heard it was stupid cold in Indiana? I got a friend from Cedar Grove that is visiting right now.

^+1 I feel ya bro. Got a bunch of parts sitting in the basement just waiting for summer.

derek king

Yea this has been the coldest winter since I can remember. Last winter hardly existed... It was great.

boostdtalon

Yeah it's been stupid cold back in NC. Kinda glad I moved to WA when I did.

AlShinka

Yeah it's been the coldest I can remember in WI. Glad I put the 8 away for the winter

drifta

Do any of you drifters have any steering angle upgrades/mods? I can't find any for the RX-8. Note: my 8 is also my daily.

derek king

Still on stock steering. Have yet to put my knuckles and tie rods on yet. Lazy.

YboTs13

^thats some good stock steering angle.

derek king

meh, It could be a touch better.

drifta

@derek king, did you have an alignment done?

derek king

Not too sure what you are getting at about that question but yea I keep my cars aligned since I drive them all the time and run lots of front camber.

drifta

Sorry for not specifying enough. I meant to ask if you had your 8 aligned in a way that gives you more steering angle. I understand you have a lot of negative camber. What about caster and toe? Also, what settings do you run in the back?

YboTs13

You lack knowledge. Here's a few tips hangout with friends that drift and ask about there setups. Just drive your car at local drift events learn from there and see what you think you need to change or improve on. Last thing stock steering angle is all you need for starting out.

drifta

I'm not just starting out. I know I will tune as I go along. I just wanted an idea for when I get an alignment for my 8. I won't take them exactly. I'll ask for what I want, but also adjust a little more towards your setup if I'm not sure about something. I don't know any other 8 drifters to familiarize setups with; everyone runs 240SX's around here--go figure. I actually would like to have more steering angle because I hit full lock a lot and you can never have enough angle anyway.

derek king

Nothing special bud. I run 0* toe on all 4 corners. Obviously running some aggressive toe out would help with angle to a certain extent but I drive this car almost every day roughly 40 miles to work and back.
I always run a good alignment, even with all the front camber I run I rarely go through front tires.

YboTs13

Alright sorry to stir up the pot. Mines setup like my old 240 which i daily drove as well. 0* toe all around, -4 camber all around thats just an estimate on 215/40s

@ derek king and YboTs13, thank you guys so much. And no hard feelings YboTs13.
