74, stock 2.0, stock front swaybar - no rear bar, stock front inserts, may mount an older set of adjustable Koni's I already have on the back, either way 100 lb springs, 195/65 Eagle GT's.
Looking to have fun, not too worried about much else, but I have a few basic setup questions: I'm going to chalk the tires, but what pressure should I start at? Full tank, half tank or empty tank? Spare tire in or out? The konis need to be adjusted out of the car - soft, medium or firm (keep in mind I will have to live with it on NH streets too)? Should I overfill the oil a bit? If so how much? What am I missing? Thanks, Scott |

I would like to ask a real question.
Have you spun the car yet? More than once (different types of turns?) If not, you are not pushing it hard enough. It takes one run to win...the rest are practice runs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) You can take them in that car, but you need to dance on the edge of a spin...all the time. So, you need to feel where that line is. Only way I know how to teach that is to cross the line a few times. Then you know where the line is. Then you start feeling that wieght shift and how the car feels right before it spins. You want to keep the car at that point of right before it spins... Then its fun. To me, its constantly moving from one potential spin to the next. |
