Car now has a different alignment, and I dropped the rear ride height by .5 inches.
New alignment is:
2.1° Camber Front
0° Toe

2.5°Camber Rear
.10° Toe In

9.1° Front caster

Nothing mechanically has really changed, but I did jump down to a 245 section front tire to see if I'd experience grip loss...I didn't LOL
Seems 245 is a nice, happy medium for tire width, for now. Still pulled A LOT of grip in damp weather. Rear tires are still 275 width though. This figure was measured on Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires. 340 TW rating.

Faster than a tuned Fiesta in a stock power, stripped UCF20🤣 I could've nailed a 51.3, but I hit a cone🫠

​​​​​Next event I gotta switch to my Nitto NT-01s though😅

She's currently aero-less, but I've got things planned for the ol bird. Such an underrated platform.

My baby hustling through the cones❤️ I wish we had more LS400s in track day/autocross Events.

New exhaust layout, mufflers aren't changed, but I kept hitting the side exhaust on everything🫠 So dumped it under the car for now while I think of what it wanna do.... Silencer baffles actually helped with power delivery too. Pulls hard all the way to 6000rpm compared to the peaky nature my previous layout created.

Did a quarter mile test just for ****s and gigs too. A second faster than a stock '96 LS400.

Lateral G pulled on Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires, which are 340TW. That's a new best as last time I played with these tires I pulled 1.11G.
