Hey, we went out in the rain today.
Fortunately the alignment chop is only a half mile away. Here's what we gots: Camber R/F -1.99 L/F -1.99 R/R -2.3 L/R -2.25 Caster R/F 5.08 L/F 5.31 1/16 toe in at both ends. Pulled another 3mm shim from each side in the rear. I"d like to get more caster, but I'd have to do some more grinding around the strut mounts. Maybe next winter. A short drive shows the car to be VERY responsive. The ride is....er....firm....but not as bad as I thought it would be. Vracers really suck in the wet. Now if the weather would cooperate, we can go play Sunday. It ain't lookin' good, tho. |

Jeroen:
Without your mentoring I wouldn't ever have gotten my car running again, much less turn it into an AX killermobile. It would prolly be spread all over the shop while I gathered a bunch of 'spensive parts. Now that's on the ground and running, ya gots any driving tips? I'll be going out Sunday (the weather forecast looks decent). I will, of course, report back on my results so's you can (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) .....er...do a critique.
