how to spot if you need tracking/geometry doing

[fidgits]

I was just wondering if there were any tell-tale signs that the geometry needs doing on a 996?

Cheers Nerv I wont point out i dont have your number


The tracking is fine, tyre wear looks fine - it was more for future reference (and wondering if her habit of having the traction activate in a straight line could have anything to do with it).

I havent driven her in the wet yet - but i could've just been the road surface...

and yes, it was after dropping it down a gear or 3 and booting it - perhaps a little snatchy on the clutch

Nervy, while you are giving out set up advice,

I am finding a little more understeer than I would like when entering paddock bend in 4th, what would you suggest in the way of front camber settings and rear toe in???

It's an old 993, I am afraid, don't know if you bother with them, should I just get a 996 instead??....many thanks CS

you want to watch the RMS on those mate I've heard they're a bit of a weak point

thatll be it then.

smoothly does it chum, youre no good to us broken.

Cheers...

just getting the feel for her... I think an Airfield track day is in order though - just to find her limits..

[fidgits]

Thanks Dave,

I wasnt suggesting she was anything but straight and true - I put a lot of the handling behaviour down to my driving rather than her - but its always good to know the tell-tale signs just incase...


As for sliding her in the supermarket - were you wearing a Burberry cap while doing that?

If on the other hand, its an excuse for gratuatuous 911 driving away from speed cameras [and speed limits?] then it does sound more appealling... although im not wearing an eye patch.
