How do you have wifi in your car? Do you just tether your phone?


The gopro creates its own "hotspot", so in the iphone wifi settings up pops up as "jays gopro"!

Gopro will take over the world. You heard it from me first.

Intriguing...
Were the alignment specs your idea?
Will the semi slickness help with (at least visually) suppressing camber wear?

The tyres are extremely soft, i think that will make the camber wear process a lot quicker!
Kind of my idea. I need -3 on the fronts to clear the guards (it handles awesome so i'm not too fussed about the tyre wear).
The rear is 100% natural. No camber adjustement- which is why i'm putting bushes in there for a bit of adjustment.

Yep I have the WL rear upper eccentric bushes to crank at some stage :)
Is it rubbing much as it is? Front or rear?

Rear has a fair bit of play, i could dial it back from -2 to -1.5 easily (which i will do).

The front left is perfect, the front right rubs a little on the join of the front bar/quarter. I think i'll be able to modify that clip to work around it though.
