Vertical wheel inclination, camber values of 4 wheels were measured and adjusted in BC7 SUBARU Legacy LSi US model utilizing DIY measuring device with 1719,750mm radius pendulum construction, that had been calibrated already yesterday. As intended I some breaking running wear on tire tread surfaces, horizontal inclination values adjustment was postponed till today also with DIY modified LASER pointer equipped level gauge, rear total toe and it's direction, thrust and frontal toe-in promptly. Now, she goes relatively straight with no strange habit, but big change on vertical direction on wheels must have invited also the change of inclinations in horizontal direction.
Very slight as it is, there exists some discrepancy in the horizontal alignment. Probably, much more comfortable and astringent steering reaction would be obtained after the adjustment, especially thrust angle.
Still now she has some chronic disease in Multi Plate Transfer that exists in the most posterior portion of 4WD trans-axle, in spite of the replacement of 5 transfer clutch plates previously. Though SUBARU engineer propose to run 8 letter shape driving for breaking-in purpose is effective to remove the feeling of caught, it takes time to do that? In the worst case, all the rear driving system construction would be removed thoroughly and used as 2WD automobile in combination with 70kg weight reduction, in addition, ABS unit, air conditioning compressor, condenser, evaporator for that would eliminate the weight to 110kg, in case of such kind of modification were performed, BC7 would born again as a different automobile from now.

Newly applied rubber parts in BC7 SUBARU Legacy LSi US model caused unignorable discrepancy in her wheel alignment especially in camber value on both side, probably deformable strut upper mount might be a reason. The error caused by rubber part strain plastic deformation after initial running would be corrected this afternoon utilizing a calibrated vertical inclination measuring device. In any sense, all the obstacles should be eliminated before following a path with adequate preparations, however much failures might block my future way. There is a way of progress in the process of making desperate efforts, so, the result after that has no more meaning for me, because, experiences in the process is more worthy than achieving.

Having some specific feelings on the thing might be a disease as someone said before, trying not to have feeling also might be so, because we would lead a peaceful lives if do not have any inconvenience to be corrected. Found errors or discrepancy are nothing but objects feeling bad for me, and create the way by myself if there is no way to do that, then, which way shall I go in helping to live rest of my life?

I happened to meet with a lady in KOBE who evoked the seven-year itch being over 10 years elder than 42 years old air-cooled VW 1302 Super Beetle 11AD, not German but French dignified countess inspiring my long sleeping sensibility. Unforgettable figure from her are burned in mind and on my back of eyelid, how come? Her name is Panhard. Before that, I'm surprised to know that I have still a capability to have been moved much like the opportunity this time by an external stimulation. Still now I'm a available person, but it must be some overestimation for a geriatric. I hope I would not see her again somewhere else, otherwise I might take off the whimsy by being defeated by her extraordinary fascination?

I just come back home from KOBE to have a Legal inspection test for SXE10 TOYOTA Altezza, only 23,000km use for 9 years had no reason to be eliminated in checking line, of course, Traction Control System was killed when speedometer compatibility at 40km/h, otherwise I should have fallen into panic condition at speedometer checking step. ECU understands as if the car is loosing grips on some tire tread surface. Anyway this Altezza would be continued more 2 years interval from now. By the way, I happen to see a fascinating French lady there, the name was consulted in Web site and revealed to be Panhard L17 produced in 1964. I feel gone up into her sophisticated charm and all of her burned my rutina strongly, how come? I hope any new stories would not begin in future, though air-cooled VW Super Beetle could be restored relatively easily taking time half a year under the condition of ample parts supply, her parts would be difficult to obtain even if I would exert myself utmost for asking indispensable part to keep her in healthy condition. No effort is necessary to imagine myself to be at a loss in serious condition, no matter where it would be, on the deep mountain road or in my garage. I'm afraid that some whisper of the devil to introduce her to me and kick me down into hell. The fact that I come across with her at KOBE today, is wrong, not me.

The axle adjustments accomplishing "Zero Thrust" have been done on BC7, SXE10 and 11AD already, only XH200 OPEL requires more precise adjustment, so my works on vehicles I'm keeping now would finish soon, some acceptable circumstance is prepared for her, how come?

Also, asked I about Remodeling application there at KOBE Land Transport Office, as I mentioned before, BC7 SUBARU Legacy LSi US model has some modification in brake pipe line connections. ABS module is bypassed because of oil leak there. As a conclusion, it is not always necessary for BC7 under the condition that all the brake system are activated and braking power on every wheel should be enough to pass the decided value.
In case, another remodeling way it is necessary, removing all the rear driving system, rear transfer clutch and covering rear part of trans-axle, propeller shaft, differential gear box, rear drive shaft on both side and covering hub joint holes resulting 70kg body weight reduction. Because feel I far better when driven 2WD driving condition than 4WD, this remodeling should be performed in near future to enjoy a same car as an another driving train one .

It's a matter for regret to have write down here like this, worst news I have, one of my relative went away the day before yesterday, an uncle of my wife, a funeral ceremony would be performed this evening at KYOTO, we are going to participate in that from now.

1,000mm scale Steam locomotive D51 model came to me yesterday, so also 1,000mm scale model UK Sailing battleship Cutty Sark was obliged to move onto ceiling place. The owner of model D51 had gone away on the beginning of this year because of age, he had been specialized in State-owned railway technology development and design department and after that his wife proposed me to keep it for the sake of long lasting friendship. Not only that, as they did not have an opportunity to have a next generation and she is afraid that the keepsake product of her husband that is indispensable for her might be thrown away without deep consideration by their relatives. Consequently, she might have made decision like this time to give it to me, to an enthusiastic person in the field(just a stupid and strange person?). A new commer Model D51 exhibited in my working place would be enjoyed much by many visitors from now. I will keep this relic long taking over their wishes.
