Iain's 20XE Trackday Nova

[Spudly]

All you need now is a smurf dangling from your towing eye on the back

Set up the camber bolts today, really easy to get the right adjustment so I hope they stay in the desired position.

Lowering it with the suspension compressed to ride hieght:

Before, 1 deg on the passenger side and a little less on the drivers side for some reason:



After, both sides set up at 1.5 deg neg camber:

I going to try and set mine up today which the same tool, and remember you have done yours, but looking at those pics, isn't that first reading -1.25/-1.3 degrees? And the second one about -1.75degrees? I'd assume the measurement would be the middle of the bubble like a spirit level?

Hey Mazz. So if you look on the underside of the tool you've got the adjustment dial which you use to 'zero' the tool on a vertical surface. I zeroed the tool with the 'positive edge' of the bubble reading 0 (towards the neg side), so all my readings are from the 'positive edge' of the bubble. This is a bit more accurate than guessing the middle of the bubble each time as you can line the edge up with the marked lines.

Well after a page of mocking here's some more mods to potentially dislike!

Satin black sunstrip as the old one was looking tatty and badly fitted:



Then off with the rear bumper for a plan I discussed a while ago when painting the bumpers. Still looking fresh under there:



Hack hack hack



No more mk2 parachute effect, woop!



Doesn't look too in your face from the back/top really:



Also been mocking these up every couple of days, swaying towards fitting them as my sills are taking a battering and I like the way they box the rear wheels in slightly?!

the skirts complete the car mate looks the mutts nuts

Nowt to dislike for me.

Sunstrip - needed (IMO)
Rear bumper - fair point parachutes slow you down.
Side Skirts - Stop mocking them up, and get them on.

[Iain]

Just looking into ways of attaching without holes...

[Pistol Pete]

I have just fitted skirts to one side of mine. Check out my build thread...

Also taken many measurements so i can start a thread in articles to help with the fitting.

Liking the bumper mod.

Looks good! The things you have done are spot on!

Ah that makes sense now, thanks. I did have a brief attempt earlier but ran outta time, but i've give another go
