    Re: Transformer Transformed

    Change of header title!!!

    Just finally got Shades off Castor / tracking gauges and out for a test run

    Transformed!

    2mm Toe in Front
    0.2 degree Toe in each side rear
    4.5deg Castor front
    -1.1 camber front each side
    -0.4 camber rear each side
    Ride height 15mm higher rear to back
    Front tyre pressure 20psi
    Rear 22psi

    Steering slightly heavy at parking speeds but lightens up and has the twitchyness at speed has gone. Roads are too greasy to explore handling at any limits but I have a big grim on my face as IT IS SORTED!!! AND I love driving it!!!!

    This is just a base line and in due course I will put it on laser rig to check my measurements done mostly with digital protractor set up.

    I think the biggest contributor to getting to this point was to increase the castor on the o/sf which was a shade over 1.5 degrees before adjustment. I have yet to find any bump steer issues so conclude this was properly set up by my predecessors.

    Its mentioned on here that having a proffesional outfit do a proper alignment, setup and spring rates is the best way. Good you have it sorted now.

    Brilliant. I calculated 20mph/1000 in 4th while on the move so that is spot on. Will do a more exhaustive test in coming days....
