    I'm in the process of getting Happy Face ready for her first autox in jan. I'm starting her off pretty much in stock form, just to get a feel for her as a stock car. I may however put on a strut bar, and possibly add sways as well, if I have enough time before first event. I'd like to shod her though with some R-compound tires. Any suggestions or preferences for tire/wheel setup, without blowing the bank account? thanks dave in houston

    I know there's a ton of material in the archives on camber.... but what I would like some advice with is a good and inexpensive approach to getting as much negative camber as I can, given the basic stock setup on my car. The car is used for weekend driving and BMW club autocrossing. I know there are KMACs and other adjustable plates, and I have seen Ireland's 'fixed' camber plates (but these only get about 5/8 degree). I also read somewhere that there are issues with the KMAC plates. I've been down the adjustable camber plates road before (E36 M3) and I recall issues with caster and alignment, etc..... I have stock shocks and springs on the car now. thanks

    After much trial and error I've finally gotten around to a bench test of my 4-speed tranny for my '72 'O2 (I pulled it out a while back). The car stopped going several months ago and I've ruled out the diff. When put in all gears, the main shaft will still turn in either direction when you rotate it by hand. It turns when it shouldn't. I'd like to pull the rear shaft out without opening up the entire tranny. The large bolt pattern (where the guibo bolts on) has a 30mm (I think) nut holding it in. But, it looks like it has to be removed with a deep-socket. Any helpful comments out there on whether it is worth pulling this to look for damage? thanks
