Results of bent spindle project. PICTS! + TRIG!

Ok... so i'm somewhat bored at the moment. After some help from madrx7racer and Dr Landers about how to get the spindle off the suspention, I decided to show you all what ~20mph sideways in a ditch achieves (pictures of ditch later this week...)



The math:


I bent the ****** 7.03 DEGREES! DAAAMN.

So just what will having your tire 7.03 degrees offset from the brake caliper do? Well besides making the tire smack the fenderwell constantly, and pull fast to the left?....



Great bloody fun.

The people I orded the replacement from havne't confirmed they've sent it either, which is incredibly frustrating...

Then Dude, just wait until i drive through S-Dak on my way out to seattle. We can live it up in rapid city and then you'll see how yoru social life can improve, just by riding in my vert ;-) buck up man, i've been wanting to have my car done for weeks and now that i'm about an hour away from being done (putting on my exhaust) the damn bracket i made to mount the manual is getting in the way of my exhaust. that is gay for sure.

Taking I90 all the way READ: what a boring drive. I can't stand from here east to SF, or from here west to Sheridan... complete udder nothing.

Anyhow-- when are you coming up? If its not for a couple months I'll see if I can get project84 and jackie (FB about an hour away) to ride with. If you stick a day we can take a ride in the hills. Project84 might have the M90 rigged up by then on his FC-- if not he should at least have the hal tuned.. And best of all I might have the replacement spindle back up, lol.
