Well both slotted ball joints were fitted up and wheels aligned. Crappy photos sort of show before and after results...

What better way to test my new front wheel tilt than to enter into a state round at Ringwood. DaveHAT took his newly supercharged taxi as well. Worked out its only taken 6 years to get both our cars at the track at the same time. The Gem steers now without trying to kill me. Was an awesome day! There were a few offs to be had resulting in big damage to a convertible MG and slightly less a Gemini coupe.

A couple of pics and vids...

looking good man! 6000rpm burnout, good times! :)

I'm still not sure if your getting wheel spin or gearbox slip out of corners! we seriously need to get some data logging sorted for this car!

Yes I'm failing in that regard. It didn't feel like the gearbox was slipping, particularly across the top there was definitely lots of wheel spin. I'll get that file sorted then the new phone will read the car.

Yeah there's 2 in there.
So the equation is: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz + zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz = ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

Good day out alround & always nice to put them back on the trailer the same way they came off. Looking almost purposeful!

You can see the difference between gopro & "kings" camera. Maybe the kings inside might tone down the 044 noise?

Watching the vids there is plenty of mid corner speed & time to be made which should come with more seat time & car familiarity with the new setup.

The fix for the camera Dave is for Bill to have a mount on his roll cage that the camera can go onto ;)
