Old car mainly, felt the same the last time it was off the road for a while - i need the suspension setting up then some time driving it on the by pass to make sure everything is doing what it should be.

Until i can get some machine on it to get reading it's hard to tell as the shape of the car is rounded but it just seems the rear wheels sit perfectly straight with a little more toe in which can look odd against the car's body shape then comparing to the front wheels which sit with a few degree of -camber .
The car will be on the road as off next weekend so i'll be putting a few miles on then i'll see what settles.
Other than the above i've only been messing with the Hart plenum - all 5 threads on the top row were pretty much shot - the lower row were in good condition but i helicoiled the lot - TB end again the top 2 were shot, 1 was really bad and the other needed attention so again all 4 were done - just need to clean the plenum off and refit and test.
I will fit the Airtec throttle bracket for now but i'm still confused as to why i can't get full throttle like i did with the forward mounting bracket - the last reading i got was 0.35v closed & 3.09v open which is far from ideal - with the cable off the bracket will open to the required reading but theirs no way it can with the cable on. This confuses the fuck out of me as all cables are the same and looking at it to get what i need the spring would have to be shorter for when it's fully compressed
Or get another forward facing bracket made.
But for now whilst it's running in i won't be needing full throttle so that can be addressed when it goes for live mapping.
