    Default Wheel Alignment

    I think I've got too much positive camber on the rear wheel of my VX.. This happened after I lowered it, should I get a camber kit to fix up the wonky alignment or what?

    Maybe it's just the IRS.... Working overtime.... Going in the wrong direction.
    Looks as though it would be a pleasure to drive.

    But wait... There's more!!


    But that's not all!!!

    Oh look.. Only for you Big Wags..

    I was taking the Emerald Hills twisties at a reasonably high speed, just near Sugarloaf Reservoir.. The air was crisp, the car was loud and the juices were flowing..

    I spun out at a bend and the car spun around into a dirt embankment.. A towtruck just happened to be driving out in the middle of woop woop then and I ended up with a tow..

    That is the result..
