build diary

May 17, 2007: I drove the car in to work today with the new control arms.
They're not an unqualified success quite yet. I've lost so much caster that the car is very twitchy. That's not so good. A bit of adjustment to the bushings and I can get a little more caster out of the setup, that should help. I've also lost steering lock as the new arms interfere with my fender stays. I'll find a way around that if the geometry of the arms works out.

It's kind of fun to be doing some development on the car again, not that I'm hurting for projects right now.
