Floor crack
Battery was mounted so that floor flexed. Cracked fixed and new plate installed.
Wheel stud
First break. Front Left. Happy it was in the garage. Snapped under minimal load, mounting tire.
Another minor casualty
Wheel nuts were not torqued. Fortunately the wheel stayed attached for the few laps of the session. Required replacement of the FR bearing, studs and wheel. May be able to have the wheel repaired.
Transmission checkup
Replaced some seals and the sensor. Looking good for another season 👍
Sensor was original with the box. Proactive replacement while box was out of the car.
Rear camber – adjustable now.
The size of the rear control arm rod ends is such that there is NO way to put a wrench on the interior jam nut. The rod end fits into the subframe with no space for a wrench. Terrible.
Resolved by hacking, cutting is too elegant a term, metal from the control arm mount. Next time, will know to look for a control arm with a smaller rod end.
