I had a long hit out with the tyres today. I put 36psi into them warm, not hot or cold.
A regular round-a-about that I use that is a little off camber, I can normally circle it at 50kph. But today I was hitting 65kph and was able to control the rear using lift off oversteer. Which caught me by surprise to be totally honest the 1st time. 2nd time around I was more ready. And it was very easy to do so. I'm curious as to how this will effect the handling at 100kph or more? Will I need a big gay GT wing? |

dont get a gay wing PLEASE
just loosen off your rear strut bars a little, it should make heaps of difference. a 1/8th of a turn on both sides should allow a little more lat pivot in the struts and should prevent liftoff. i cant get my rear to lift of at all, if u remember back to skidpad, cus i dont have a rear brace at all so the top is free to flex with the body |

BC coilovers are a definate NO for now. They have no kits available with pillow ball camber adjustable top. Only rubber ones. And they have no interest in developing them as their isn't a market for it.

picked up 2 2nd hand front seats. drivers is a little twisted which i'm dissapointed about. the rails look fine though. didn't realize it until i got home. seller is 90mins drive away. but i'll just swap the newer backrest with the original seat. passenger seat is perfect.
so i'll probably have some rails up for sale soon. Last edited by project.r.racing; 27-07-2009 at 05:14 PM. |
