)
Pictures will be posted later

Actually it doesn't look THAT bad....Think I went from a C to a B status
What happened Harshguy? Did I make you drop your blunt?
I didn't get any stickers with the car so I stole the grill from a Mazda 6 and got some unused Parma Alfa headlight stickers
10/20.....nice

Shims
Is it possible to get the shims for the pivot blocks without buying more pivot blocks, cause thats like paying 12 bucks for shims.
Whos shims do people use anyways?

The shims are plastic and are included with the car.

Whoever thinks you can get an R-minus thats soldered straight onto the cell into this car is corrupt! No way that's gonna work!
Nuts! I'm gonna have to go back to deans

If you solder them directy to the cell I am willing to bet they will not go in. Even if they do the money I'd pay you would go towards some new electronic gear because you'd short something out against the CF or Aluminum
But you can do it this way (thank you JRXS.com)

If your trying to install the battery and tray as one assembly and it is giving you a tuff time, try instaling the battery first, then the tray after. Not sure if everyone is already doing this?
Earlier there were some posts regarding castor and camber change thru wheel movement/steering. Thought i'd chime in and drop the term SAI, or steering axis inclination. This is how castor works for both stability and feel, since it causes the tires to try and remain pointed straight ahead(more castor, more tendency to stay straight). For steering feel, it effects how much of the tire contacts the surface during turns/chassis roll thru SAI. There is also the weight jacking that occurs because of the axles change in inclination, etc.
The reason castor tuning seems elusive to some, is that it is directly effected by chassis roll stiffness. In other words, less roll in the chassis will like less castor, more roll will like more castor. This is because of tuning and not the surface itself, since tuning can reduce or add roll on any surface if desired.......
, Hope this helps?.....Jim
