Lets just put it this way Nev.... from what I've experienced and seen with my own eyes I wouldn't go anywhere near there for a Geo :)

 

That's being polite.

Geo is down to peoples own preferences some people like the aggressive geo some don't. I don't hence why it wasn't good for me. Some people do though :)

i wanted it the way it was set up for 100 percent track but on the road it isn't a loving experience deff to much camber .i am going to rase it a little and shed some camber front and rear ,round corners its totally epic  but would like a happy medium.

In fairness I guess that is the trade off, road vs track.

 

My only query with the massive rear camber is that given your car runs pretty stiff springs, does it actually roll enough to make use of the fairly massive rear camber?

Yeah ZZR’s need less camber than most R-rated tyres because the tyre walls are so stiff that the carcuss of the tyre moves around less.

 

Anything over 3.5 is pretty extreme IMO

Lee have you got any idea on the torque and power this thing is making yet?

 

I am sure we are all keen to see a dyno graph, even if it's a guesstimate from the software.
