You'll have to educate me on what info you're looking for Garrett cause I'm not that edumacated yet...;-) What I can say is that my front end was aligned "true" a few days before, and the rear has a negative camber with the Teins that I have back there. I checked the tire pressures after runs and my fronts were at 40psi and the rears were 36. The fronts really take a toll on our FWD's! It was really an "experiment" with the car and with it's set up. As you know, there's so much that goes into setting a car up for a track and I'm already convinced that I'll never put that much time into this...some repeat visits maybe but that's about it. What would be REALLY FUN would be to have a track full of 2004 - 2006 Ralliarts out there running with each other!

Oh, I was running the Dunlop Sports that I purchased, but recalling that they were "new" yet 10+ year old tires that I bought for a "discounted price." They stayed on the rims and didn't crack apart but were still relatively hard as a rock even after all the abuse!

Truth, find a place that does a 4 wheel alignment using lasers with wheel mounted reflectors. They will usually give a print out of the alignment before and after adjustment. Once you have a starting point then you can go from there. Before going to the track I would usually set the fronts about 36 and the back 38. That said you have a shorter sidewall than I do, so may need a different starting point and that's not even taking different driving styles into account.

Although muddy from going into the grass, you can see the BIG difference in the rear:

Boy Truth, you were letting it all out !!!!!
What's the speed rating on the tyres and make and model while you're at it please?
Now if we keep in mind that you said you were at 40psi on the front AFTER 20 minutes on the track then certainly setting a higher cold pressure is called for. It's arbitrary but start at 40psi cold at the front should you venture to a road course again.

Other than the driving, getting to hear advice from an instructor that competes in FWD cars was invaluable! I was all ears when, after I would be black flagged back into the pits (routine for this event), the instructor would hear my description of what happened at what turn, and he would give his unique FWD feedback as to how to approach and exit the corner the next time. It was also really interesting as to get techniques to some long time FWD questions that I had and then to try to apply them back out on the track!

I have to say, approaching a 60 mph corner at 110 mph is frightening!
