I think the camber is prob out, and a combination of hard G. I saw most of my photo with standard suspension that the front tyres are heavily lean on the outside.
I am putting someone up very soon about alignment. Astro can scribe the intro for me. The video is done.

Lucky astro did the alignment before tracking this week. He has 0 camber on the right front and -1 on the left.

Here is how it works :.........Timing advance helps produce more power by igniting the sparks sooner, providing more time for the fuel / air mixture to burn completely, increasing cylinder pressure, thus providing more power.

Wow! That site is amazing! And, did you see they also offer free, a Mobile Phone Signal Booster worth £4.95 with every order over £12. I can't wait to get my order in, so I can be just like the owner of that Ferrari!

Gomez,
Track pressures were originally 50psi (oops!) but after a session or so I lowered to the recommended 38. I think because my lines were SO bad I got a little carried away trying to run more corner speed........(badly).

just a general check and alter the steering... it was a very slight move to the left.
i have only paid for wheel alignment once.... that was back in 1997 at Bob Jane when i was young and clueless and they charged me $68....
i havent paid for guard rolling, balancing, alighment, rotating since 1997....

I like the premise of the film. I like the actors, Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell. I love the groundhog driving the F250, Ned Ryerson (the insurance salesman) is a classic ..

Yes Bill Murray did a fantastic job - Andie McDowell was great in those days... Don't see much of her now - expect maybe in perfume adds on TV...
Ha ha - Did not remember the groundhog driving the truck until you reminded me... I must watch that movie again.. Miss 6 would like it too...
