Yeah, the brake fluid has been flushed and replaced with Ford Hi-Performance. Pads and everything else (besides the loose CDs under my seat; I'll get those later) are good.
The alignment (camber) is very conservative because that's acutally what I'm going to run on the street. This week sucks. I don't really have time to auto-x as it is, so I can't really spend much time setting up the car and while my other car is down the Cobra is my only car. Till now I have been running -1.1 camber and have been wearing the outside of the tires with normal (for me) driving. So I'm rotating the tires and upper it a bit. I'll probably try the chalk or shoe polish trick.
For Toe I've had all sorts of suggestions ranging from slight in to a LOT of out. Whem I have more time I'll experiment more.
But it turns out I'm can't do it anyway... I have 30% of a final grade in all my classes due in the next 5 days... A 20 page paper, a medium sized program, and the scheduler of a real time OS to write...
