camber adjustments
Ive used the search function but cant find what im after.
who out there has adjusted the front camber on a simple fujimi kit?? basically, Ive never attempted to adjust the camber on a 1/24 kit before and just wanted some advise before i start hacking away. its a very basic fujimi kit with struts at the front (i only want to adjust the front) being a fujimi, the 'axle' for the front wheels are glued into a recess in the brake disk. am i right that i can just glue this axle in on the angle i want and thats it? or will i need to adjust the angle of the whole strut and adjust mounting points on lower wishbones and steering rack? thanks in advance.

Re: camber adjustments
You could extend the lower arm out and drill a small hole for the suspension part to slide into. Same with the wheel arch area, drill a new hole further toward the center of the car
Hope this helps |

Re: camber adjustments
I did this three months ago on Fujimi's S14 kit because i'm going to use Kiwami kit tires from an Aoshima kit. What a pain in the ass buddy. I spent about a week on each end of the car hacking, grilling, gluing styrene and puttying things up. I really don't think i'd do this again even though I like and would buy aoshima wheel kits just for the kiwami tires (if they came with the wheels).
