    If you're in Elderslie, you are an hour or so away from Brian. Why not go there?

    PS. Contact Tim for the form to become a greenie and access all the info available

    For now here's the setting (from Brian)
    "Scooter posted these on 260s so thanks Scooter.

    Front camber -1deg10' +-0deg 15'

    Front toe total +0deg 12' +-0deg 6'

    rear camber -2deg 05' +-0deg 15'
    rear toe total 0deg 36' +- 0deg 6'

    Thrust 0deg 00' +-0deg 6'

    Tyre pressures Front 34 psi Rear 36 psi

    Checked with a full tank of fuel, to correct for fuel level add to boot in kg.
    3/4 full add 10 kg
    1/2 full add 20 kg

    I don't think these are the settings for the VHS kit. I've got them somewhere, I'll try and dig the them out and post them.
