Ayup all.

Well the minis out and about but as it stands my setup sucks balls! Until I've got it sorted I carnt turn the boost up as the lsd takes me were it wants.

What sort of settings should I be aiming for? Front end is fully adjustable

Cheers eden

Paul W told me it's called stance!

I found the best thing was to have the car corner weighted, as I find it helps with the weaving.

This is my personal experience, as I have always had it done and I don't seem to have any torque steer ever, I don't go for the hole low thing just setup right from the start.

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

I do want to get it corner weighted Simon, it's just finding a decent bloke close to do it.

I go to slarks mate as it drives so much batter after it's been done. It's worth it in my eyes, I will be back down agin before MITP.

Yeah I've gota sort it ASAP too. Slarks is just way too far away.

Anyone know of any in Leicestershire. Ben h perhaps knows someone I believe he's Melton way?

Go see Dave Yardy to get it setup, about the best place and not toooo far from you.

Transformed my car after he set it up for me.

All I can remember was 5.5 degrees castor, 1 degree negative camber up front. 0.5 degree negative camber at the back and a tiny little bit of toe in.

Ben and I have all the gear so do it ourselves. I'm happy to set peoples car up for free, but the gear is in Yorkshire.

Dave's down by Northampton, just off J16 M1. I can bet he won't be as cheap as Wil though, lol.

I had the same problem when I fitted my quaiffe. The car was awful to drive as it would pull all over the road. I found it highlighted a bad setup!

I was going to get it setup but decided to have a go myself. I set the tracking with a straight long length of angle and a tape measure and set it with some tow in.

I managed to borrow a ADA camber and castor guage to set that part of the suspension. I photocopied that and stuck it to a piece of wood 😃

The car drove a lot better but I still had a pull to the left under boost. I found that by altering the front suspension ride height I managed to stop the pull. I dropped the height on the left and upped it in the right.

It took some trial and error but I got there in the end. It would have been quicker to have it setup for sure!

I started with some of the settings that I found in a thread on here. I've been playing with them ever since! My best 60ft to date on road tyres is 2.18 and will run consistent 2.2 second 60's.

I'm about for the next few weekends, near Boroughbridge. Now is a good time as the garage is empty.

I may pop up with my heap at some point in the next month or two Wil if the offer is still open at that point.

If I had a trailer I'd take you straight up on that offer wil, North of Leeds os a bit too far when I've not really tested the car fully. Really appreciate the offer tho.

I'm getting hold of some gauges so going to give it a go myself. See how it goes.

Found a thread where you had posted some basic settings to start from wil.

Whenever you want. Just give me a buzz.

If you do it on a weeknight, then we should be able to squeeze in a beer aswell.

Good plan. I'll shout once it's road legal.

Aldon Automotive in Brierley Bonk used to do it but not sure if they still do

Well I've had a good go this evening and it's far far better. Just gota wait for it to dry up for some proper testing.

As it stands I'm very happy with the results

What settings have you gone with Eden?

I'll be having a look at mine in the near future.

In the 13's at last!.. Just
