Just for you - from a week or so ago...

I'm going to visit her in the body shop in an hour - see the sill cut open and what the 'damage' really is inside but I'm not concerned as it's only a small patch and I know inner sills are clean 8)

Great day at C of G today...started with a shock test on vibrating plates

Image

Then on the ramp for loads of meaurements and calculations car then loaded to simulate fuel etc

Image

Releasing everything the angle of spring plates checked and found out of spec so re-index of torsions bars :? easy for Chris he acheived the porsche club sport spec of 9 deg :D

Image

With angle set time to do the ride height

before
Image
AFTER
Image

Now the setup can begin first corner weighting, then geometry then check ride height and corner balance again until perfect
this is 16 hrs work, but it will be perfect :D :D
