Presumably it is possible to extend if you have the parts/means

From my research i am seeing for the rear on a RWD street car
- around +2 to +3 mm (-0.080" to-0.125") total toe equivalent for ~16"
- around -1* to -2* degrees camber

[digger]

what parts did you change and which did you keep while you were in there ? Over extension can be due to worn plastic pivot and badly worn throw out bearing...

Well I can confirm the fork is symmetrical end to end so doesn’t really go in a particular way except upside down wouldn’t really work . Ideally if there is a clear measureable wear pattern caused...

That is a nice ride. The preface lift Alpina front airdam is the best there is. The Alpina C2 2.7 was probably what got me into E30's in the late 90's. Were you able to find some good boots for the rear...

i have one somewhere for a g260 i will see if i can find it later today. I am going by looking at pics on FCP/ECS atm for a new one not an original...

[digger]

isn't the clutch fork symmetrical end to end?

[digger]

Thanks. I am going to aim for about 1.0mm toe each side (supposed to improve stability c.f. zero toe or a bit toe out) and maybe 1 degree neg camber (improve inside edge tyre life), i hope my alignment...

There are some different strategies with idle timing, for example with mine and the cam i have installed i could run it lower like 10 degrees and have the blade stop cracked a smidge more to increase...

ok, got you. thanks...

i am interested to hear what you started with, how you setup/welded them and what didnt work out as i am embarking on this.

The eccentric bolts have about +/-3 mm of adjustment. +/-3 mm over...

mine is set around 15 degrees

regarding the bold purple text, i am getting close to do the eccentric bolt.

I don't understand what is different regarding the access to the outer TA position lock nut used with the eccentric...

the 5150 is pretty much just the same generic stuff they flog for m5x etc etc because the bore spacing, rod and main sizes are the same etc so that must mean it will fit right.........it wouldn't be engineered...

[digger]

yes, when the stock cam gear mark is aligned to the head mark the cam is actually advanced, so by default the retarded position is likely to perform better. Note that both Nando and Tinkerputzer found...

They are inclined hence they are in some shear by design
