Wheels straight, steering wheel not straight = tracking out.

See I wouldn't have known that

.

Oh well, I shall have to add that to the top of the list.

Much point raising the rear of the bonnet on a non turbo car?

1CE · 30 Jul 2009 at 12:09

You'll be surprised by the amount of heat that comes off of that manifold, I found it helps quite a bit, but I also keep finding people telling me my bonnet is open

Firestar_3x · 30 Jul 2009 at 12:12

ROFL, yea thats the main problem, never done this myself since i think it looks really odd, rest of the car looks tidy though nice to see the mods are done in such a way to make the car look better.

1CE · 30 Jul 2009 at 12:16

Thank you

.

With a bit of luck it'll be gone soon, so I wont have to put up with the bonnet open comment !

My mates Mk5 Fiesta Zetec S has bonnet risers too. I'll never tire of telling him his bonnets open, ever.

Focus looks spot on, don't mind the risers myself.

agw_01 · 30 Jul 2009 at 12:33

Shame you're selling it 1CE. I remember you talking about a turbo kit at one point.

Still, looking forward to seeing its replacement.

Yup... I bought my car 2 and a half years ago, I've never had it tracked. I just thought that my steering wheel wasnt straight! Its not perfect but I've got to go and have it checked soon to make sure it's still ok.

Have you noticed the cabin interior air feed is at the base of the windscreen?

a) you are getting engine bay air into the cabin

b) its a high pressure region so when you're moving theres not really a large amount of air coming out...

A few photos from a track day on Saturday at Colerne airfield.

Dorje · 30 Jul 2009 at 16:59

In it's own habitat :cool:

Just realised the difference in wheel sizes, front and rear.

Duke · 30 Jul 2009 at 17:20

Looks great Neil. Didn't realise that airfield existed - its only down the road lol. Any info on the track days they do?

-Neil- · 30 Jul 2009 at 17:23

A few organisers run track days there, mine was with MSE

https://orders.motorsport-events.com/EventList.aspx

Best run track day I've been on, well marshalled and a reasonably safe circuit as well.
