it's the accident,dont worry about it

That cars not 100% straight, not a problem so as you know about it, an hour on the jig should sort it

[Spy]

Jig ? sorry I m french .

[Mux213]

Jig is a thing that allows you to pull and push on the chassis to bend it back into shape

[Spy]

ok I see ! some people told me that just to, I don't know the verb... "to put a little bit of metal to join the two parts" . we told me too that, that arrive when you drive on track on the AE86 . that is why I asked if it's commun

[Mux213]

Well a bit of metal would just cover it up, the question is whether your chassis is straight enough, if the chassis is still slightly bent from the accident it can through the alignment of the car of which sucks on the track.

But if you have no troubles with the stability of the car on the track then I guess its fine.

Ok ! I didn't drive a lot yet . The feeling is weird by I think, it's come from the setup of the rear and front axles wich is not very good . I have to setup it . For example, it's weird . On the front, the car is a lot up (suspension I think) and I have positive camber . there is a lot of think to do on it to setup it well .

2 Spy: go to Tyre shop and check the all 4 wheel aligment ... if it's all OK don't woory about it ...

If it isn't OK, then you have a problem.

I have similar thing on my car from some previous accident... but all wheels and aligment are good and straight, and the car doesn't pull on any side on full gas or hard brakeing...
