Re-setup of suspension etc
Finally got around to checking the setup now the car is a year old. Everything was way off from when it went through SVA.
Camber was off on all 4 wheels
tyre pressures all over the place
corner weight and cross weight was a little off too.
2 hours later and hey presto i'm all camber, toe'd, front/rear/left/right and cross weighted with me in the car.
it's 472kg total with half a tank of fuel and a quaife reverse. Forgot it was that light.
drove much better too............
still think a screen might be more usable for my driving as not keen on using a lid every time i go out.
my front wings had loosened and rubbed on the tyres - were nylocked with rubber washers to stop splitting etc.
Might have to opt for wider ones.
Was so keen to sell but now not sure.
If Dynojetting makes a difference and still gets me through upcoming MOT then i think i'll be keeping it.
Cheers to Chris at MNR for the chat today and to another Chris (who has recently sold his MNR) with a screen, for talking me through life with a
screen again.
Cheers and see you at the weekend.

Glad to see that you are coming back round. Lovely car by the way.
P.S. IMHO i would'nt go for a windscreen, i had one, the wind buffeting was terrible. Just have a deflector now.

if its only a year old, you won't need an mot for another 2 years.
its amazing how far out these things can get though, the tracking on my BMW was 8mm out apparently, but i always wonder how these things can work
their way that far out!
