That's my plan, getting there though, getting ready for this track day and the track day has cost me a fair £££, around £500 in total lol.

Thanks

Did my geometry today, around 1.5 degrees of camber all around and 0 toe, was going to take it in for alignment on a Hunter machine, but thought forget that i'm broke as it is, and done it with my garages camber and tracking gauges, it's going to be roughly correct, hopeuflly that understeer i had is gone.

Next stop RTS.

Going to double check the tracking Thursday too, the gauges told me it was straight, then i went for a drive, come back and it said 30m out, then i turned the wheels a few times and checked if the track rod end nuts were loose, which they wernt, then some reason it was back at 0.

Thanks

Tmrw is fitting new driveshaft oil seals, as old ones were seeping a bit after clutch change. Fixing for bung on tail pipe. Maybe sort clock spring out finally. Remove rear seats and junk from car.

Also do you think I might get away with this mount made of a bracket and Velcro tie straps? If I don't go out with immediately I might be ok ??

Yeah I was going to get a proper mount but was in Dubai for 2 weeks and just got back a couple of days ago. Pity Mandeep can't come. Ps I don't think theyl allow a window suction mount either!

Ricky- that's almost as bad as the one you had where there was a whole tripod on the rear seats secured with the seatbelts!!!

They didn't allow suction mounts at Silverstone when I was there a couple of years ago, but that was then.
