Tyres

• Slicks/grooved slicks
• Started out with 2.2 Bar at the front and 2.5 at the rear
• The tyre rubber never got very hot
• Increased tyre pressure to 2.5 at the front (in steps) and 2.8 at the rear.
• This sounds like a lot of pressure, but it warmed the tyres up nicely, and the tyre wear also looked good.
• Wet
• stuck to 2.2 Bar at the front and 2.5 at the rear.
• Didn´t use them much, so hard to tell if it was a good setup or not.

Suspension setup (Camber)

• With the original spring/shock setup, the Camber angle was set to -
• front -0.16°
• rear  -1.13°
• After the Eibach springs and Koni shocks went in, the Camber angle was set to -
• front  -2.16°
• rear   -1.08°
• Another change for the Camber angle was -
• front  -1.45°
• rear   -2.00°
• I replaced the Eibach springs in the rear with the original Mazda part, and used the Koni adjustable ring seat to re-lower the rear. I also set the Konis in the back to soft, and finally, reset the Camber angle to -
• front  -1.45°
• rear   -2.00°

Suspension setup (Caster)

• With the original spring/setup, the Caster angle was set to -
• front +6.00°
• After the Eibach springs/Koni shocks were installed, the caster angle changed to -
• front left   +3.20°
• front right +5.30°
• I didn´t like that there was an imbalance (even with me sitting in the car while the changes were being made), but I couldn´t change it!

Suspension setup (toe-in)

• Originally, the toe in was -
• front  +0.5°
• rear   +0.05°
• I changed the toe-in to be 0.0° front and rear

Oil

• I always use mineral oil.
• Started out using Shell Helix 15W40
• found that at sustained high revs, the oil pressure would drop. Once the oil cooled down again, it was back up to pressure.
• Changed to Castrol GTX-3 15W40
• under the same conditions, the oil pressure drop was only slightly noticeable.
• Was contemplating going to Valvoline mineral racing oil. Haven´t tried it yet.
