[Wichita-SCCA] Had to laugh at myself

[Lawrence]

Too funny Greg, and it takes a big man to admit such in a public place. The
French car looked good yesterday and sounded good too.

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
