	When adjusting toe the wheel has to able to rotate around its vertical axis. After adjustment you can role the car a bit so it will settle. Another option is to use some ~~blockd~~ of MDF to get the car a little higher and put in between the ~~twp~~ blocks a plastic bag with grease. Now to wheels can rotate very easily and you have more space to work on the setup.		When adjusting toe the wheel has to able to rotate around its vertical axis.

	Right now (4-4-2015) I'm aligning my Elise S2. First I wend with a piece of cord but found that it is to thick to get an accurate measurement. Then I switch to fishing line (0,1mm) and you get a perfect reading from a normal ruler! Readings of 0,1 mm are possible.		Right now (4-4-2015) I'm aligning my Elise S2.
