haha ! i totally miss read that lol i wish i had paid attention at school rather than staring at girls in short skirts!
yea i ended up turning mine 10mm forward, i agree steering is 100% lighter ! feels like it got power steering lol !
i don't dare put mine any lower as i have what can only be described as a small mountain to over to get onto works carpark lol

on my door cards i used pva glue but obs no good if its getting wet, i suppose you could lacquer over the comics to make them weather proof ? ill have a think up and see if i can think of a weather proof solution
my comics are 2000AD and a kid pisses himself on one haha !

cheers, glad u like it :)
i got some new little vintage spot lights to put on as the blue looks abit weird i think anyway lol!

10mm is a pretty serious amount to turn an arm, mine are only 7mm! I guess the kingpins are pretty much upright? Did you add any negative camber when you did it? I always like to wedge the bottom of the join open by around 3mm-5mm and close it flush at the top. In my mind (and I'm sure somebody who knows more than me will be along to tell me I'm an idiot) as I've virtually removed all the caster when the car's leaning into a corner the extra camber helps, my car is like it's on rails anyway. And if it doesn't help, it does make it look as cool as fuck.
