first meeting for LS 914, Racing at the MG Classic meeting, Manfeild Park Options

[returf]

While most of you guys are nearer the end of your racing season, we are just beginning down here in New Zealand. I finally managed to get my car to it's first meeting last weekend. A classic meeting that is in it's 31st year of running and right at my local track. Practice went well but i noticed that I still had the wheel shake up front under brakes. Race 1 was going well with a demon start but unfortunately a lower arm on the left front broke and that put me out for the rest of the day. Day two, and another good start and went from grid 18 to 9th before the first corner, gee it's got great acceleration!!! Race three and off to a flyer again but three corners from the chequered flag and an axle broke. But all'n'all a great start to the 914's racing. Here's a video of race three. check out the shaking. Once i get that sorted i'm sure i'll be able to brake a lot later.

Yes. Mainly only under braking - massive vibration - my rotors were new so it was baffling. A friend mentioned the wheels as a possibility and I thought he was nuts. Smooth as ice after having them balanced - I was shocked. This is not to say it's not something else, or in concert with something else, it would be the number two culprit behind the rotors.
