We went for a play in the rain yesterday in this 16v Mk1.
She was a bit skippy with the camber as pictured! Could have been the water too :shock:

1.2-1.5 (neg) is enough for spirited drives........but it all depends on what tyres you run and how strong the side walls are.
have you had a chance to arrange for the down pipe pick up yet mate?

Most of the factory spec that I have seen in the wheel alignment machines for MK1 & 2's is around -0.5 but on my Mk1 I used to have it closer to -1 and that was good.

I used to run all the camber I could get on my MK1 then track it up afterwards. It didn't chew tyres on me and I used to do lots and lots of miles in that car. Believe me, if it had run the tyres off I'd have been straight on it.

I ran 1.5 neg on Gunter with 2 m/m toein and never worn out the insides of the tyres in road events or around the roads. On the track was different cause of wheelspin. :) Very soft compound tyres too
Rear? I ran heaps of neg too!!!
