Benn's on going build

[Benn]

that would of looked a bit odd..

I thought toe in was good for straight line stability and 'safeness' whereas a bit of toe out helps cornering/turn in.

Did reply to this but it seems to have been lost! That is the basic essence of it, as for the dynamic effect it depends on way too many factors to call one "right" for FWD and wrong for RWD, plus the fact that one person will prefer toe in on a certain setup and one toe out... Personally from any experience I've had racing sims/remote control etc (Also backed up by theory learnt through lecturers at uni, Milliken and Milliken, Tune to Win, etc) on anything RWD I prefer toe out on the front and in on the back, as it gives a more responsive feel on the front but a stable feel on the rear under power... TO A GIVEN SETUP. It is not a be all and end all option, as is any settings tweak, depends entirely on other geometry, settings, the actual car and it's weight distribution, the air temperature (no I'm not kidding) etc etc.

Had a nice delivery from the chromer to day.



Ooooooooooooooooooooo

Can you tell what it is yet?





Best get them fitted..

Old ones, where way to dirty..



Mmmm much better..







Sadly that was all the chrome bits i got fitted at the mo.. More to come tho.

Repainted my mirrors too,



Inc this bit..



As it looked dirty and dull when you look like this... Now its much better.



When i was getting my tracking done, i was having the prob that my alt belt was screaming, so had a look to find this...



It had snapped off in the inlet.. Started drilling it and hitting it with a hammer and chisel, Dan came a gave a hand and got it out, then tapped the hole clean. I fitted semi new bushes to the arm and put it back together all nice. Then carried on cleaning.

you never seem to amaze me benn,your standards are set high and you have built such an impressive unique nova,though i think the tank would look better rubbed down and primed and painted properly,ive painted me escort tank with the gun looks so much better,but i guess its something which can be altered at a later date,
otherwise she looks sweet and the tank straps look awesome

Thank you very much David. That's very nice to hear.

The tank was only lightly sanded before it was painted, but was done quickly. So the surface wasn't 100% so there are quite a few marks in it. But it looks ok. I should of done it right tho.
Glad you like the straps.
