We have been a-xing our 1.8 40,000 75 914. As we are new to the game...we have some questions. We have installed a new front sway bar, 140 rear springs and new rear shocks. Wo turning the car into a pure track car... what are my next steps (other than R tires, new motor and seat time) to improve the car? I was told NOT to change front torsion bars ... as it wouldnt be streetable then??? Comments? Also what is the best tire pressures for AX using my current street tires Dunlops Sports? When I go to Khumos, then what pressures should I use? Thanks from a rookie/beaten too often driver...Karl

QUOTE(SteveSr @ Aug 6 2004, 11:47 AM) To ask a dumb question about sway bars...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) what does full soft mean??? No preload???Then as you tighten the adjuster on each side it applys a twisting force that works against body roll???...somebody enlighten me.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) SteveSr No, it is not pre-load. You need an adjustable setup first of all, and slide the connecting point of the droplink (the top end) along the arm towards or away from the swaybar , changing the leverage. Did that make any sense? Someone post a picture please. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) See www.tarett.com for pictures Andrew |
