The "what have you done to your DC5 this weekend" thread

[Ramz007]

Looking at all the lovely examples in this thread makes me more eager for the upcoming weekends lol


This weekend was spent claying and attacking the bodywork with a DA.

 

[Erm]

My Sunday was spent as above, gave it a full exterior detail

Today, sorted out the rear camber issues I was having, now all equal at 2.25 degrees, and also fitted my front camber bolts and set them up at 1.5 degrees. 3mm toe out on either side, handles like it's glued to the road. Gave it a quick spruce up for tomorrow's Brizzul meet and then drove it back from my friends HARD!! Gotta test that FRSU lol

So you have 6mm toe out ???

 

[newyorkaddict]

Yes 3mm each side. It's aggressive but works a treat. It means your inside wheel is already turning into the corner you're going into. Tbh you can't even see it has toe out but you can notice it when you're pushing hard.

Have you drove it in heavy rain like that as the rear will try an spin out basically with 6mm out, I had 2mm total toe out at Snetterton in the rain an nearly spun in a dead straight line !!

 

[newyorkaddict]

Yes I drove it in the rain this morning and it felt no different to the dry. If I don't like it, I'll change it back, it's hardly the worst job in the world to do now is it?

 

[Rob.]

Easy enough job yep, just thought I'd mention it in case you had any moments in standing water fella

 

[SmithyDC5]

I done a bit if work, mainly just a few touch ups. Flatted my freshly painted calipers down as I layed on too much laquer turning the decals cream coloured. Also painted the disc hubs, fitted new main beam bulbs went back over the lenses and cleaned up the rear exhaust box

Only got home from Germany last night so up first thing thismorning. Car out of the garage and bathed.



Will spend the day tinkering and cleaning. Possibly service as well... I got lots of parcels

Going to set up a build thread later aswell 👍

Friday counts as the weekend right? Drove my newborn son home from the hospital in it, the sounds of the Spoon N1 had him sleeping like, well, a baby
