Looks good.
What did it cost? Look forward to hearing how much better it is once on track.

1)Is that a MAC 1?
2)What are the black things either side of the number plate?
3)It will be interesting to see how much of a change it was before and after set up. Did you do much track drivinf before?
4)How far out was your car?
So many questions!!
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!
Please read my ring story:

Hi cost is circa £250 he uses top knotch, kit not laser alignment but the set up works with cameras takes about half a day to do complete he is a
absolute perfectionist had it set up a few times now only this time more track focused !!!!!

Hi yeah a mac1 zx powered, you having me on about the black things?? that's the twin exhaust pipes off a r1 sounds just like a bike and
comes in at 93db ideal for track work!!, yes do a few track days, we have changed a lot, springs, wheel bearings ect so can,t really comment how far
out it was !!!! Cheers for the comments ....

This is a lovely car!
It's the first ever Mac I sat in and the inspiration for building the Mac Worx I have now!

The exhaust runs along the length of the tunnel below the propshaft, the Freelander rear diff is smaller than the Sierra diff so allows a little space
to squeeze the exhaust pipe through.

Thanks for those! Freelander diff certainly does take up less room!

ingenious, no room on a westfield as the freelander diff & propshaft sit lower down & closer to the floor than yours

93db Do you know who done the work on routing/fabricating the exhaust..
I've over 28 years in dealing with magnesium wheels. Refurbishment and can powder coat most metal parts. Visit my web site if you wish..

So does mine but its just a little tooooooo loud.. I may just stick with what Ive got and buy another BEC that is less than 95db and then I can go on
track..
Did you have a video camera going whilst doing your track day?
