Sumo Bumpsteer etc. etc.......

Spent the best part of Saturday in Sidecarbod's garage sorting out the bumpsteer and castor angle issues, what can I say.....with hindsight it went in as a badly handling Sumo and came out handling just like an AK, the difference is profound. Whoever said that there was a good car trying to get out of a Sumo was absolutely correct. It can now go around corners significantly quicker and feels like it is on rails, is now mental on lumpy country lanes, and is nearly boring on motorways

Many, many thanks to Pete for spending significantly more than "a couple of hours" to sort it out, and his wife for putting up with him

For those of you with a Sumo, don't put it off for as long as I did, get it done and start embarrassing some Dax's

PS. don't start asking Pete about the mods, do a search, it's been covered comprehensively before and most of the info is here under Stage 1 Rolling Chassis - Steering
