TRACK DAYS AND DIFFS

[Shawn Manny]

thanks everyone. I was inquiring more about tarmac events. The car is
being built for rallycross/track days and eventually club rally. I've
gutted it, removed the AC,cruise&stereo, added 2 race seats, I will be
relocating the battery,replacing the dampers and having a custom
exhaust done for it soon. Its kind of a shame since the car was so
complete when i got it, it even had the OEM optional fog lamps under
the bumper.
Alignment for the car will be as much negative camber in the front as
possible (is it adjustable?), with .25 toe out, the rear is gonna be 0
toe and some neg camber....I ran a similar set up on my multi purpose
Impreza and loved it.
If you want to see pics here is  link to the thread on the Protege forums...

Now, who runs slicks?
