Hehe thanks
Ask away, the more people are asking questions on this car, the higher the chances are of finding useful improvements on the car
I've just driven the car some more on the same tarmac patch. I've used some harder rear springs and put a little toe-out on the front. The springs didn't make a big difference, the toe-out did make a difference worth mentioning. It added steering into corners, and in combination with the harder springs the rear end can finally be persuaded to let the front end do what it's supposed to.
That said, the adjustments I have made are all small tweaks and I'm starting to notice I want bigger changes than what those can give me. Much like the first onroad test I can't be sure how accurate the test is for astro: not so much because of grip levels, but because of how the car reacts to bumps. The car has near zero rear droop at the moment and it's still hanging in there onroad, but I think that would make it rather unpredictable offroad... My prediction is that I need to increase rear damping/pack, use harder springs and increase rear droop to make it work on astro
We'll find out in a few weeks I guess - in the meantime these onroad tests do give me a better feel of what the small changes may do to the car.
