More parts, more events

Camber plates and battery went in on Saturday. The camber plates were relatively straightforward. Between the plates and the camber bolts, quite a bit of camber is available. With the bolt in about the middle setting it gave 4.4 degrees, so there was room for more.


Eventually settled on 3.3 degrees for the race setting with as much caster as we could get, but that may change after the Evolution dial-in school coming up in a few weeks.

The battery was only slightly more of a pain, as one of the posts wasn't threaded low enough.

Finally, Clint put some stripes on my wheels to match the numbers:

Tried out the parts at a Tucson event yesterday. Clint took top pax again, but fortunately I was a lot closer this time than in Phoenix, only 2 points behind.

I picked up a stock front motor mount from a kid who replaced his, so I'll have something to press the new Ralliart mount into without risking my own stock mount. Should save some time, and it's nice insurance in case any issues come up during installation.
