Default Type-R Alignment results, good, bad, ugly...?

2001 Type-R, lots of miles, ~6-8 track days per year, 6 autocrosses, and ~25,000 mountain road miles. Car weight is ~2,800 lbs with me in it and a half tank of gas, which is where it was when I had the alignment.

Caster--+1.2*----+0.6*

Toe------0.0-------0.0---

Rear
----------Left-------Right
Camber-<u>-</u>1.7*----<u>-</u>1.9*
Toe------0.10*-----0.10*---

Thrust Angle 0.0

it may pull some to right with lower camber/caster. should be a very stable car with the fair amount of toe in in the rear

Austin, that alignment was done according to stock ITR specs, right?

For track duty ... don't people often recomend a tad of toe (1/16 or so) up front, and 0 toe in the back?

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by zygspeed &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">For track duty ... don't people often recomend a tad of toe (1/16 or so) up front, and 0 toe in the back?</TD></TR></TABLE>

are you saying to toe it in or out. toe out will make it turn in better, but slow it on the straights. toe in will make it understeer more, but will be more stable
