The caster indeed improves the stability and makes the car handle "like I want it to handle". Difficult to explain... Although you can't just point at one detail and rule the way a car handles because of a setup, it's a combination of everything starting from tire pressures and ending with the initial torque of the LSD. If the caster angle is decreased a lot the car becomes like a snake trying to go here and there all the time. Maybe suits someone's way of driving but indeed not mine

About the power steering, not that difficult compared to many other things, but then again the car was built around these parts after it was first completely dismanteled to pieces. One of the best features of the car it is, makes life very easy and features adjustment for steering feel as well.

Should I make a topic about the car, after all this is (or used to be) the photo topic...
