De tweaking the chassis

ok so i just inspected my car and it wasnt lying flat on the set up bourd maybe the huge flat out T bone i got on the middle of the straight at carpet wars so i loosened all screws from the bottom what do i do now just button them back up or is there more to it than that cheers

The best one to ask is Tweaky Ginge, PM him im sure he can help and hopefully post something on the forum so we all know.

yeah i was hoping he would see this LOL

Yes ginge is defo the man on tweaking, my car was well tweaked and i have now sorted it thanks to him this is what he told me to do and it worked, loosen all screws on bottom and remove body shell posts, i removed one end of shocks then loosen all screws on top of car including top of bulkheads, then flip car upside down put preasure on middle of shasis while tightening screws, then flip back the right way putting preasure on shasis while tightening all top screws, i worked from middle to outside car tightening opposite corners put back together then my car was spot on,
i am not taking credit this was told to me by ginge,

so im hoping my car will be even faster next week lol

spot on just what he said when i called him earlier you saved him the work of typing it all out lol. you racing sunday martin ? ?

De tweaking -
Can be done with or with out wheels on.

- Strap cells into car.
- loosen all screws attached to the chassi, topdeck, diff housing, and shock towers, so the parts move.
- Undo and remove the rear body mounts.
- Place car upside down on a flat board on the cars shock towers (over hanging the front body mounts over the edge of the setup board).
- put some force on the centre of the chassi, to give it a slight bow effect.
- Then tighten the screws on the chassi.
- Still with force being applied, screw the front and rear shock tower screws.
- Now place car correct way up on some setup blocks, and tighten the diff housing, then the top deck.
(You may want to do all the top deck screws up loosly 1st then tightly once all set in position.)
- Place wheels back on car, and check on tweak station that straight!

- If not, loosen shock tower and tighten in a postion which makes it straight!lol Have found in the past that this is where the tweak is usually!
- Put rear body mounts back on car.

Hope that helps!

Great tips guys but don't forget to check the tweak of the F/R roll bars aswell
