Standing on her own for the first time ever. It will be short-lived. Wheel studs aren't long enough for these meaty Method wheels. Need ones 12-15mm longer. Clearance at full lock worked out!

Keep going! If you're fast enough I can pop buy in 3 months for a ride.

Looking good, dude! Tacos... you need more tacos to help make it run.

Cerveza might help with all this cypherin'. Still messing with caster, camber and toe at midstroke and level. Caster 8+ for both. Good there. Camber at 2.5 and 2.4 (I may lower those with a half turn. Trying to determine if better to be slightly over or slightly under the 2 degree mark). Sitting on the ground now while I adjust toe in. Toe close to 1/8, but not perfect yet.

That's really cool! Keep going. You can do it!

Are you adjusting it at parked height or loaded ride height?

DeMinimis · Post by **DeMinimis** » Tue May 22, 2018 4:44 pm

Mid stroke. Well, just shy of that actually. I understand 60/40 is about where you want ride height, so that's what I'm using when trying to dial it in. I understand I may be tweaking it more once built.

While I am sure you already allowed for it: just-in-case, don't forget to add the proper weight for fuel and passengers (et al) when setting things up. I've seen it done wrong a couple of times and it wasn't that easy to get the adjustments right after getting off on the wrong foot.

Have you considered a Subaru engine for your buggy?

Then "Herbie" wouldnt be appropriate or relevant, would he?

Lee,
