Whoopie! (stage 1)
David Jenkins - 4/9/04 at 11:33 AM

I've come back from a 20-mile round trip to get my toy car MOT'd - my, that was fun! Glorious weather, not too much traffic, no particular problems... magic.

Now I have to prepare for "Whoopie (stage 2)": the SVA on 10th Sept...

Best news is, when I made my top wishbones I took advice and set the axis about 15 - 20mm further back - and it does start to self-centre from full lock. Phew!

A minor down-side... the back end is bottoming out on some bumps so I'll probably need stronger springs post-SVA. What poundage are most people using?

regards,

David

Well done, We got ours MOT'd yesterday. Only a 2 mile round trip though

Did take it for SVA a couple of weeks ago (got there late and they refused), but it was a nice 50 mile round trip.

Best of luck with the SVA.

My nearest MOT station is only a mile away - but I wanted to get some decent mileage in before driving 40 miles to Chelmsford and back again!

Besides, one of the owners of the garage I went to is a fellow member of the Ipswich Model Engineering Society! No favours, I hasten to add, but perhaps more friendly.
