[savs_redtop]

[fearless]

How did it go Martin - any pictures !!!

[MARTIN KELSON]

Eh up Dave

Well it came back in one piece so that was a bonus!

Really disapointed to be honest how it went. Plenty of poke and front end fealt ok but the back fealt awful.
Had no confidence to push the car at all. Might just be the muppet behind the wheel to be honest.
Dont know what to do to get a good balance front to back. If you have any ideas pass em on.

You still going to TOTB at Elvington Sunday?
Maybe see you at the weekend.

im goin to TOTB should be a good day, if you see me come and say hello

Bad luck.
Just going to offer a few points which you have probably thought about already but sometimes it helps someone going back over obvious stuff to refresh the memory about what has been done.

everything secure and tight - subframe underneath ok?
what tyres you running and what psi?
what spring rating and damper settings - too hard on both will make the back jittery & tend to break away easier?
got std or poly bushes?
have you got a rear anti-roll bar fitted?
camber and toe? u can use hack saw blades to alter these tho its not easy to set exactly as you want

Hope this helps

Hi Mate

Will look out for you. I'am taking a alluminium scaffold tower to sit on so i can see over all the heads so should be easy to spot!

Thanks for the advise.
I think all is ok with the car.
Its fully pollybushed.
rear anti-roll bar is fitted
tyre pressures (cold) 28 front, 21 back

Thanks
