    I am no expert on steering but I suspect it will be the camber and also without being patronising, as you have changed the track ends and so on, the tracking is probbaly miles out.
    The CV-Joint track ends aren't mounted to the car and the steering geometry is perfectly set to my desired values


    The purpose of the race had been fulfilled, now i know how to drive with this car. It will surely need another training or two, but now i'm confident.

    Here a few pictures.






    Thanks to all those who took pictures and videos for me!
    I really appreciate it!!










    There were a lot of cars to compete with, a few wich weren't road legal.

    After the race i went home because i was happy with the knowledge how to drive with the differential.

    So the surprise came a few days later when i received an email wich said:

    "I got your trophy... would be nice if you would pick it up"

    I won a Trophy? That's impossible!
    Clearly i had to pick it up. I won it because the first third of the field got a tophy and i was 5th of 19!


    Here's the Ranking


    Next time i'm not going home until the cup ceremony is over

    Big thanks to the VW Polo driver (VW 3010) wich took my trophy to give it to me!

    Good progress dude.

    I've noticed it leans quite a bit in the pics/vids. Are you running the coilovers very low (on the bump stops)? And what spring rates are you running?

    Love the high viewdown, with the black wheels it makes it look like its gliding around...
    All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
    Far from suicidal
    Still I get them tendencies
    Bringing back them memories
    That I really miss when I reminisce

    Are you running the coilovers very low (on the bump stops)? And what spring rates are you running?
    The coilovers are approx 2cm higher than the road legal minimum, so shouldn't be on the bump stop. The springs are as im aware: 50 n/mm. Not very hard, for sporty road use.

    This picture a little bit stereotype (ok, the cows are not purple) :D
    To support your impression


    would be a litte bit weird to drive/race past purple cows
