[Wichita-SCCA] Had to laugh at myself

[Greg Laws]

Hi all,

Had to laugh at myself last night.  Over the years I had lowered the Phrog, changed spring rates, adjusted shocks, messed with different alignment settings, and so forth in search of the mythical "best" settings.  Lately it seems that I have hit a sweet spot with the handling.  The car simply dances and I am extremely happy with it but ...  Well, I started thinking about different changes that could be made to make it even better.  Can't help it - I'm addicted to tinkering.  

Anyway, I pulled out the last wheel alignment computer printout sheet to confirm the alignment specs that I was currently using, the ones that had hit the "sweet spot".  The printout was in a different format than I was used to so I referred back to the factory settings for the standard format.  It was only then that I realized that I had managed to trial & error myself back to the original factory alignment settings.  

Yep, I have spent years proving that the Renault engineers -- the best suspension engineers in the world at that time -- had it nailed right from the start!

I guess that I'll just leave that part alone from now on.  <laugh>    

Enjoy,
Greg (I'll be quiet now) Laws
