Some nice cars had to wait outside, while Ricardo from Ferrari helped me with the suspension align.
The system was overprecise optical computer system, which immediately told us that the whole car was heavily out of spec. This wasn’t news, because the car had been really nervous and twitchy to drive, almost to dangerous levels. For measuring, we had to attach plates with reflective patterns to rims, so the computer could find the car.
We underestimated the time to adjust the suspension, and easy one-hour trip to the shop turned into mad three-hour wrench battle, when we went through all possible adjustments. Once again, I was really pleased to find almost everything still working as they should be, only passenger side rear toe adjust was stuck. We adjusted the car to these values: Front camber: -1degrees06′ Front toe-in: 0.9degrees Caster: 6degrees45′ Rear camber: -1degrees06′ Rear toe-in: 1.7degrees After the adjustment, while printing the aligment report, Ricardo told me that not even Ferraris needed to be this well aligned.
