Yes, I actually think I got too much last season.  The inside tread of
my tires actually wore a little bit more than the outside!

That should be close to factory.  You need 3/16" to 1/4" for it to be
effective.  I sometimes set mine right at the event.  Once you get the
tie rods loose one time, they're easy to readjust.  Just use a tape
measure on one of the tire ribs in the front then the rear of the tire.
Have someone show you.  It's really easy.

For stock class, there is no substitute.

Yup.

Yea, with big bouncy MOMO pads! My favorite!

Those should be easy to find!

It helped a little, since my car has power steering, and doesn't need a
15" steering wheel.  (what was VW thinking?)

Haven't gotten any yet, but most custom wheel places have them.  Just
remember to get longer wheel studs too.  I will have them though for
sure this season.

Well, not in the Biblical sense. ;-)  I'll be getting the "biplane
special" together in a few months.
