whilst I am away for 2 weeks sunning myself, I have the following being done to my Cappa..
New Track rod ends
New Track Control Arms
Flush & renew brake fluid
4 wheel alignment
New dash clocks being fitted
Renew all underbonnet jubilee clips (some are old!)
Reset the tappets
Re-torque the head down
New front anti roll bar bushes & washers
Plus anything else my guy finds whilst he's doing all that!
I'm kinda hoping it'll feel a bit 'Tighter' when I get back coz it feels a bit vague to me at the minute & I haven't had the confidence in it to chuck it about.
See you all in 2 weeks :)MUCH BETTER TO BURN OUT THAN just fade away.....
I'm leaving now for my hol's too..
Have a good time dude.
..but you can't align the rear wheels!
I'm the one who leaves all those shoes in the carriageway.

ensureing the axle is centered to the chassis and square to the chassis. then you align the fronts up to the rear wheels and hey presto, a perfectly tracking capri. im guna be doing mine over the next few weeks.
"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.
