I love these videos so much!
Thank you mate! I was properly proud of this one
@@MickDrivesCars you should be! You're making some really educational and entertaining content. I love the relaxed style of your videos.
Favourite automotive TH-cam channel. Every video is quality. Idk what but something about the way you present yourself and how you showcase things, makes the video really engaging. The POV also helps a lot too.
Damn dude that might just be the nicest thing anyone's ever said about my videos 😍
Thank you 👊
I actually needed this comment because this video has been a complete flop view-wise... Thank you for keeping me going mate 👊👊👊
@@MickDrivesCarssometimes even just changing the title and thumbnail can spark the algorithm to pick up a video ! maybe she's a late bloomer haha , regardless the content is superb and just in time too (looking to get my alignment done proper next week) keep on keepin on bud !
So long as the tires last, yes, no downside.
I did ask about tire wear and was told it would effect it but not catastrophically
I can live with that
@@MickDrivesCars fair enough
Had my m240i done yesterday. Night and day. So precise now and effortless. 😊😊
Yep, he really knows what he's doing!
Looks very good mate, I've even had brand new cars which have needed a proper alignment. If you're in tune with your car then you will notice the slightest wheel alignment issues
I drive a 22 M135i and took it to a specialist and the difference was beyond night and day.. steering angle really bugs me.. glad it's sorted mate...
Over the next couple of weeks the suspension will settle further and you'll notice improvements even more so. Let me know
absolute legend!
I remember my reply to your comment was like ''nah it's just the camera angle'' then I went for a drive that evening and realised my car's broken lol
don't know if you're local to me but if you are we should go out for a blast
@@MickDrivesCars would love to mate, but I'm in the North of England, returned from Goodwood lastnight - 287 miles non stop and the car was an absolute dream, point and shoot... As they should be.. I'll keep an eye on the content mate 👍🏼💥
Bee watching all your videos this week. Loving them, keep it up mate!
Thank you mate! Hopefully I'll make many more
Subscribed. Great video. Just the POV section alone was fun to watch. Man, I think I'm gonna head out and blast down some country roads myself now
Haha before I made youtube videos I would watch POVs and be like... damn I have to go out for a drive! Glad to hear I did it for someone in return
This is why I love Mini Coopers, they steer amazingly, even the non s ones. Cant wait to get a cooper s and see how that is. Steering and exhaust sound is what I look for when buying a car. Idc ablit practically lmao
Steering is literally my favourite thing about driving, the interaction you get is everything
Mini's have this short, tight, heavy steering I've always loved
I have the mini JCW it's fantastic very recommended!!
Well you couldn't stop smiling so yes, I guess Luke did a great job. Let us know if it affects also the tyre wear.
Will update for sure
and yes as you can tell from the video, very happy
Makes sense for a FWD to favour toe out on the fronts. If you want some more stability on the straight go for a tiny bit of toe in on the backs and don't be too afraid to do up to 2° of negative camber. Be mindful it'll make tires wear a little bit faster. Oh yeah, be mindful if you go a bit too much toe in on the rear coupled with toe out on the front can make the car a bit oversteery.
Also, on mods, I always tell people that there are 5 mods one should doto their car, regardless of the car:
1. Better tires
2. Shoft shift kit
3. Correctly sized steering wheel for them
4. Limited slip differential
5. Develop a proper alignment for the car.
Man you just became a happy boy
Luke smashed it, can't lie
Haha shoutout Andy for noticing it
too true! I couldn't un-see it after he mentioned it
Did he toe out for the rear too ?
Nope only the fronts
Toe OUT is for steer response, toe IN i for straight line stability, worse possible thing is zero front toe, then wheels are fighting and car is all over the place. You made mistake, those 3 bolts inside bonnet where top of the strut is mounted are slotted, and if you loose them and push strut towers inside you can get free negative camber. I got -1.3 camber in front in my Megane 4 RS, combine that with toe OUT, and rear is set to -1.5 degree.
i find that settings perfect for daily with occasional spirited driving blast. Tire wear is even.
Won't the toe out alignment fuck up the 4control ?
not at all - the front wheels still do the steering and having them steer slightly quicker doesn't affect anything
I'm tempted to do the opposite on the rears so the rear wheel can turn harder too... not sure if that's something anyone's done before
So you’ve gone from a blunt knife to a butchers knife in terms of steering sharpness, what toe in mm out has he set it too, my TrophyR has 1.7mm toe out and that’s gone from a butchers knife to a surgeons scalpel.
I was told in terms of degrees and minutes
0 degrees, 10 minutes
@@MickDrivesCars sounds like he’s set it to factory then, next time try more toe out 👌🏼
He did say it was on the very edge of the "green" according to factory
I did a converter and some maths and
0 degrees 10 mins/wheel = 0.32 degrees total toe out = 1.2mm toe out
@@MickDrivesCars So 0.6mm toe out each side then, mine is 1.7mm out each side 😂
Oh god, I thought you meant 1.7 total 😂😂
It is my daily though so I didn't want to go super crazy and have to replace the front tires every 4000 miles
Maybe I'll experiment with more next time like you said 👊
if one hits a pothole will it throw of the alignment?
Minor ... nothing...
Major ... yes
hi mate .. great video , can you share the numbers of the aliments ? camper, caster and toe . and if you have a track aliments too please share thank you
God I don't have the printout anymore, sorry dude!
All I remember is that it was just outside the ''green'' spec for toe.

How many miles per year do you drive?
This year I've done 12k and still have 3 months left
