Are you Positive?

It seems the front camber certainly was!
The car was taken to Powerstation (
www.powerstation.org.uk) this morning for a full geometry setting, and we discovered that all had not been quite right. The front wheels had a tiny amount of positive camber and the driver's rear wheel had a considerable amount more negative camber than the other rear wheel.
When the car was put together for the first races at Snetterton, there simply wasn't time to sort out the geometry and we ended up with the TRD recommended toe settings. Now the Powerstation boys have rectified the problems and we have a reasonable amount of front and rear camber, front castor, and toe settings.
Another interesting fact learnt on our windy way home, was that when on song the MR2 can match pace with Darrens 2001 Subaru Impreza Turbo which is fitted with a Prodrive Performance Pack. That was a revelation to us both, and means that the induction modifications have really livened the car up.
The afternoon was spent removing all the interior sound deadening, and now only a quick attack with the paintbrush is required before the car will be ready for the double header at Cadwell next weekend...
Or my car could be broken ;-)
That floppy thing on the right hand side. That's the accelerator, that is... Your supposed to put your foot on it...
