Align
the car: We
replace #128 and #129 (also weak). We charge the whole pack and then individually
top off some batteries: #098, #130, #131, #132, #140, #147, #163.
The rest
of the day is spent giving the Electric Imp it's first real alignment.
Camber, castor, toe. Check bump steer. Track. Ride height. Do corner weights.
As is, the Imp weights 3093 lbs with 50.6% / 49.4% front to rear and 51.2%
/ 48.8 % left to right weight distribution. Not bad!
