Well the car is back and its a lot better! Front is nice and firm and tracking has been setup the same as carls race car. Apparently stock 306 is slightly toe in but the race cars are set up slightly toe out for better turn in. After lowering on coilovers and swapping the subframe and new wishbones mine had ended up being 2 degrees out! Drive home was much nicer!
Carl also showed me where it had dropped the gearbox oil. it had lost about a litre but all topped up and good now with the new seal,
Had a few things to do tonight but attacked a spare grille with the dremel and smashed out the primer. thought i had some satin black but turns out i have 5 cans of grey primer and 5 of lacquer but no black! Trip to halfrauds tomorrow! Looking good so far.
Inspiration from the BTCC car...
and my attempt so far!
