Looks good! Excuse my ignorance, but is that toe-in or toe-out? Those alignment specs look the same as what I have but the alignment is toe-out.
Also congrats on the house. I'm about to close on my first.
Congrats on the new home and now you need to update your pics and more by making it to the Solo Nationals in Lincoln , Ne. this September. Drop me a note so I can help you with any logistics, like where the fun parties may pop up, ha!
That would make sense for the need for Toe out vs Toe in, I will play with it this year and see what works best. one of the bonuses of having a alignment rack at work! Unlimited alignments!!! lolI think part of the idea of using a little toe-out, especially for autocross, is to create increased Ackerman across the front axle - the inside tire needs to turn a tighter circle when cornering, and using static toe-out creates more of that affect for the tight turns seen in autocross. It may help turn-in feel as well.
Those belts look pretty sun-faded. If you're just using them for better support in autocross, they're probably okay, but check the certification dates on them in any case. I'd be wary of using them on track, as UV exposure degrades their strength.
