914 Wizard? No way. I got too much to learn. Group: Members Posts: 4,099 Joined: 21-April 03 From: Gig Harbor, WA Member No.: 598 |
Great turn out, lots of 914's pointing forward most of the time. Everyone got some time on a dry track but there was some rain and it got pretty cold ( looking on the bright side, good for making horsepower ). A few of our guys had some trouble getting it on the track. Still they were better men than me, I sat it out in the infield. Kudo's to my son, he took all the pictures.

If it's understeering....and it prolly is with the AR bar set full hard, back the AR bar off some....to about half way.
Sure, get some Koni Sports....it'll ride like an empty dump truck....but we're racers, right?....." I paid a lot of money for this?" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Simply put, the shock's job is to keep the tire on the ground. The better job it does of keeping the tire "weighted" the faster one can go....even if it's on 3 wheels. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) On a billiard table smooth surface it don't do much, but as things get rough or even semi-smooth it comes into its own. Race teams spend lotso bucks on shocks to get the spring/shock combo balanced. REALLY good shocks are REALLY expensive.....remote reservoir, adjustable in jounce and rebound $$$...outta my league. I'm afraid there is no midddle ground. One can be a hot dog AXer, but not have a decent ride on the street. My "new improved" Hoosiers have made mine pretty near intollerable on the street.....I think I'll get some stiffer springs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) |
