And here's me thinking he had two punctures.

Erm, I don't know what you're smiling at, the first picture in your sig clearly shows your car has been lowered way too much on the nearside!......

Running pretty low!!! wouldn't it have far more mechanical grip if it was running with the control arms level.

You're a moron then, going by your comment.  That picture is coming into Wehrseifen, which is the tightest bend on the Norschleife and the car leaning particularly hard on the side of the photo.  Of course it appears low.

I can only presume you have approximately no track experience from the shyte you're spouting.  Have another go when you've grown up, or grown a pair, nipper.

 

Exactly my point  ........You commented on the ride height of my car before its left the garage, so who's the moron? considering you have so much experience don't you feel a bit :embarassed:

Let's make this simple.  I'll draw you a picture, shall I:



When at rest: on my car, the control arms are level.

Given your stationary ride height your control arms will be pointing upwards.

Now, here's the thing.

When cornering: one arm will move up, the other will move down.

In the photo the car is reacting to the forced placed on it during the cornering maneuver, the inside control arm has dropped, the outside one has risen.

It is this confusing effect of the car being in motion which you seem to be struggling with.

I'm not talking down to you, I'm patronising you now, just so as we're clear. 

  You are a clever boy!  thanks for the little lesson, but I think you missed the point -

Please read the next section s-l-o-w-l-y

MY point was - your comment on my ride hide is stupid because You have NO IDEA where my track arms will be when the car its finished, because........it hasn't been finished or set up yet... the comment on your car cornering at speed was ironic hence the wink you obviously missed

Put a working battery in it.

Got it out.

Warmed it up.

Changed the oil and filter.

Washed the windscreen.

Checked the other fluids, noted that the water needs topping up, as does the power-steering fluid.

Put it back.
