Three day weekends are nice. the past two have allowed me to make some good progress on the T. If I didn't have to do everything three times to get it where I want it (my first T project) I'd be a lot further along however
. I finally have the stance pretty close to what I want. a little lower in front might be nice, but I don't want the pan dragging the ground.
Now that it's a roller I discovered what Ackerman angle is all about. For some reason it hadn't occured to me that the suicide configuration would result in such severe skid steering. wow! doesn't this cause some pretty noticable stearing issues, as well as tire wear? I'm hoping to get some engine mounts built tomorrow, and maybe do some planning on the brakes and clutch linkage (ya.. I'm doing a T5 trans also).
Cheers,
Russ
