With steering at the front end the toe in is set at the steering block, nothing to do with the inboard setting. Caster is also set at the outer end.

As for the inboard toe out, from earlier in the thread:

I changed the front suspension a bit: I decided to use DB01 suspension blocks at the rear. The reason is that I don't want the toe-out that the suspension arms get by using the TRF201 suspension blocks.
Just because rwd buggies have a lot of front wishbone kick up doesn't mean a fwd buggy should have any, in fact it's probably a good thing to have some pro-squat by having the front wishbones leaning forwards to try and prevent the front end lifting under power.
