thing is i have to drive 3 hours to the track hahaha. its reasonably straight, might spend an hour getting it sweet and go for gold.
I pulled myn down night before a drift night and Put lock spacer and few bushes etc in and allighned it by eye with s mate turned out good enough for the event except the steering wheel was off center quite a bit haha even after pulling the wheel off and getting it slightly better .....you can't get a new balljoint in time ?
run a peice of string from the back of your rear tyre to the front of your front tyres, adjsut till they line up then do a few turns each side for some toe out
and try and lock the steering wheel straight, either get a amte to hold it while you adjust it or use your steering lock when you pull your keys out

yeah do it by eye 80% of all my alignments have been by eye. and they've been fine better than my shitty current one on my mira
just centre the steering rack and adjust both wheels till they're straight. drop the car down on the ground a fine tune by just steering full lock to get to the rod end.
camber you just do with a big set square and a ruler or verniers if you want to be all pro like. measure from rims not tyres.
might just have to wing your castor settings by measuring from the guards then test driving and feeling if its pulling. ive never actually played with my castor

surley that would only work if you have identical track front and rear? and your panhard adjusted perfectly?

Yeah managed to get it all sorted except I didn't have a temp gauge and handbrake all weekend. Only did a few runs since i didn't want to overheat the car. Skidded heaps well, will have photos up when I get them!
Ran as much caster as I could wind into it without having to cut stuff and completely fluked the toe on 0 so I just left it.
Ps Clinton loves this
he also lloves dick
and bongs
as it currently sits
gave it a wax and paint came up nice. spent about 2 hours cleaning and vaccuming broken glass out of it from when the previously owner had solex locks in it and they rusted so he couldnt unlock it.
Dropped it off to get my handbrake looked at, we'll see how that goes.
Yes, lol
I like this car, especially the cewntop, 13's on the rear? if so what size tyre lol!
