Cars Handling / Geometry
Can anyone help, am trying to decide what would be the best baseline starter settings for my MEV Sonic7 prior to booking a track day.
Therefore, I would be most grateful if anyone could advise on what the basic settings are for the most like vehicles ie Aerial Atom, Lotus Elise
(light weight mid engined cars).
In particular I'm after the front and rear camber and toe but would be interested in the front caster angle also.
Many Thanks
Nigel

I'd say a quick phone call to MEV would provide you with the most accurate information.
Is that your car in the photo? if so it looks superb.Any more for us to look at?

Great car!!!
My suggestions to start off will be 0.5 - 1 degree toe-in at the rear with 1- 4 degrees camber, depending on the track.
For the front, a 0.5 - 1 degree toe-in and 1-2 degree camber also depending on the amount of twists on the track.
You can play around and fine tune your setting from here, but should generally work well.
That Car of yours should stick like glue to the track with a good set of tires.

Copied from my reply to your pistonheadds post just for others reference:
Hi Nigel,
My mojo will be similar in terms of weight distribution etc, and there is a section of my website on this very subject:
http://www.mymojo.co.uk/mods/mods_sus_align.htm
I found the following Elise data when I was looking for a baseline setup a few years back:
Standard Elise:
F:
0.03 deg toe out (total)
-0.1deg camber
R:
0.18 deg toe in per side
-1.8 deg camber
VHPD Elise:
F:
0.075 deg toe out (total)
-1.8 deg camber
R:
0.375 deg toe in per side
-2.7 deg camber
I found front toe out to not work very well, made the car very darty, so I run with a little toe in as per the website article.
Hope that lot helps!
Oh, btw, your car looks great!
Neil

car looks very nice.
Things like camber will depend on tyres you are using rather than the car itself.
