IF you have done the BMW caliber conversion what do you think of it? Does it make a big difference? I autocross and DE a 2.0 4 and have to redo the brakes just want to know if its a good investment or not? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/spank.gif)

I like mine but I don't think it made a huge difference. I think I have more front bias which I prefer. I'd rather see what's in store for me than wonder what I'm gonna go ass end first into.
the only time I've ever had a problem was driving with the PCA in what they call a "spirited drive". To keep up I had to try to brake later and carry more speed through the corners than the tail draggers. It worked fine, I'd get all over the guy in front of me, then he would pull away in the straights. One corner was wet, and I locked up the front for a second. I drove through it but after that the wife said slow down. Next day her right leg was so sore from trying to press the brake pedal she decided to sitout that "spirited drive". I 'm going to put in a tee the next time I drop the engine. I've got the prop valve full open. Dave |
