I know the car shouldnt tweak itself as far as suspension is concerned, but tweak is also to corner ballance the car to equally distribute weight to all corners. My car does have some ballance issues that could be remedied with some simple tweak changes.
I know a few pages ago we talked about shimming the pivot ball on the aft part of the flex plate, but there seemed to be some concern that it would throw off the geometry or something.
Thoughts, ideas, comments?
Simple answer - I don't! Build the car correctly, balance the electrics on the main chassis and it always comes up roses on the coin test / tweak station.
Despite extensive crash testing (!) there has never been a tweak in the car that could not be explained by some damage somewhere - and that is very rare. No, I don't know why, it just works! All the guys racing BMI at our Nationals have the same experience. HTH
