Got ahold of some turn plates and put the gob through a proper alignment. I found the longacre products, although spendy, were really instrumental in getting her to track straight and not tramline as much. I may run a little less camber in the rears so I can get the full contact patch - I am getting loose in the high rpms on 22.5psi with the 285 r888r's which is kind of surprising. I'll check the tire pressure and warm them up next time before I start complaining though.
Toe: 1/8" Both Front and Rear
Camber: ~1.5* with me in it
Castor: 8.4*
I'm not quite sure if it was the camber adjustment or the castor that made the largest difference in tracking straight but once you get the alignment dialed in you really gain a sense of confidence at high speeds. Would love to get my hands on some corner balance scales next.
side note: Camber I found it took ~4 turns to achieve a 1deg difference whereas Castor it took half a turn for 1deg.
I wasn't too fond of the brake / clutch fluid reservoir as I consistently had a small leak coming from it. I went ahead with the tilton three chamber reservoir, 3x 90deg 4an fittings, and printed up a bracket (attached) and reused the stock lines. After bleeding the brakes I was surprised how much more consistent the clutch and brakes were - even the smallest leaks matter!
From here until the TOTD event on Oct 23 I'm mainly just working on the tune. They'll have a dyno out there so I'll get a few pulls and get a baseline for where she's at with stock turbo and other bits. Power mods coming over the winter

Good job
