Newbie T2 007 Help

[Simon Johnson]

I'm a newbie to TC and have purchased myself a used T2 007.
can anyone help me out with best set up.

what camber, toe and caster should i use to best train my skills, not looking for fastest laps (yet).

also does anyone know what size turnbuckle wrench the T2 is for the above adjustments.

Not had an 007 but have a look at 'XRAY T2 Rubber Basic Setup Sheet.pdf' on below link which should give you an initial setup to get you going.

As neil says the standard setup is a good place to start but heres a couple of things I changed on mine when I run it a while back if I remember correctly.

Springs: front- light blue
rear- greens

main things with the springs is to get the front slightly stiffer than the rear so if you dont have these colours go for some thing around 17lb if poss and then put the heavest of the two on the front.

The roll centres I used to have the lowest all round (back and front) and set the wheel base to its longest position.

c hubs standard all round (3 deg I think)
Set the front shocks around 2 holes from the top and the rear around 3 holes from the top.

Anyway that should give you a good start I reckon oh and most importantly tires (sorex 28s will be a good choice) poor tires will affect performance more than anything else.

Any probs or questions either post here or catch me, dene or one of the other guys at the club and we'll be more than happy to help.

oo and set the droop/ downstop to 5 front and 6 rear I think thats about standard ;D

Must agree with the guys, back to basics with xrays standard setup. Xray know what they're un about when it comes down to car setup. I run mine standard with minor tweeks...... ;D

Thanks guys, have got plenty of time to sort it as I have got to miss the 10/8 meet at donny.
Just bought a set up station so should be all sorted.
With regards the tyres I've seen some "Nosram vtec cpx" has anyone tried them?

Those tyres wont be all that great if you ask me, best tyres are sorex 28jb which is what majority of people use Just set it up with factory setup and it should be pretty good place to start

I've tried the tyres and there not worth dunking in a bucket of water if they caught fire.

I'm not familiar with the 007, but im sure if you spoke to guys when your at donny im sure they'd help out. I'd put 2mm shims under the front link on the c hubs and 4mm shims under the rear hubs. Set camber etc etc.
2mm on the front will make the front end a little softer on initial turn in and I find it helps with mid corner steering.

Make sure the car has no tweak thought first.
