I've had some offset A arm pivot bolts made which I hope will correct the excessive rear toe out, I haven't fitted these as yet fearing that I would make my wheel base longer.
Talking to other super owners on other forums they have reported longer wheelbases than factory on stock cars.
Australia is turning into a nanny state and its going to get worse, there is whole new set of rules coming that will make most things illegal.

Hi Steve,
If I understand your rear toe-out problem if you adjust the inner pivot bolt to create more toe-in then the whole assembly swings around the spring plate/A arm connection so the wheelbase will shorten (?) Did you try playing with the location of the pivot bolt washers to get the toe-in you required? Placing the washers at the outer end of the bolt should increase the toe-in set point (the range of adjustment being at the spring plate end).
Well I afraid that does it then, I won't emigrate, I love tinkering with cars and I don't need any more beaurocrates telling me what I can and can't do. I suspect it was all those Mad Max films that set the authorities against modified vehicles?
