I seem to recall that the lead driver gets to chose their own line being in the rules somewhere too. Helio did not push his teammate to the outside, and in fact gave him plenty of room. I realize...

Your tire wear certainly is indicative of too much camber. I do not think that you have a toe issue as this would tend to wear more than just the inside edge.

Yep, I can help you with this. Check out the Seine Gate shift kit if you have a 901 or 915 gearbox. There should already be a lock out though in your 964 gearbox. What gearbox and car is this for?...

I would recommend that you get the 2nd gear pop out fix if you have not already done this. It would be a good time as the gearbox will be out of the car.

Let me know if I can help,

If for some reason he can not help, try Brian Copans. I think that he may have some good options for you as well. As I recall he is in pretty good...
