I haven't yet out-driven the stock suspension. Need to actually track to do that. The understeer is a bit annoying at times but all cars come with training wheels. Some just less than others.

My first autox car, my 1978 euro GTI, was setup so awesome I swear that thing was a slot car. I spent a lot of time and money setting it up myself. It was competitive in CSP. There used to be a shop (could still be there, I don't know) in Mountain View called custom alignment that did a lot of track prep and performance work. I took it there for an alignment when I finished with the suspension my final time. The owner called me that day and said he took my car out, and asked me who set it up. I told him I did. He said, "You did a great job, that car is amazing!". One of my proudest car guy moments. |

Haha... Now I'm remembering how I better be super careful for a while after I get around to adjusting camber.

I still get a kick out of Everyday Drivers old videos where they'd show one of them driving an frs uphill on a straight at like 35mph in 5th gear or something stupid and then saying it's slow.

One time after a sound check at a gig, the house engineer came down and asked me if he could look at my amp. When I asked him if anything was wrong he exclaimed "No! Your bass is the first one ever that I haven't had to eq at all."
So many feels.

Well shit. Both my Ryobi 40v batteries are "defective". I cut down a tree with the chainsaw, really pushing it, and the batteries got real hot. Neither one will charge. Those batteries are like $120 each!
Shit! |

I dislike simple statement like RWD>FWD (all rwd are better than all fwd?) or another peeve of mine is the 50/50 weight balance thing (as you would know from how many times I have posted about this). These are particular aspects of a complex system all working (or not) together to give an overall result. My father's Volvo was rwd. It was the very definition of a barge and it was shit. [/rant]

That's the catch about battery tools, they are great until the battery craps itself. Best hack I have ever seen is a couple of old Italian dudes with their electric drill wired in to a car battery. |
