I'm the lucky sap who got to work with Ira at Tarett Engineering and have my car be the test mule for rear swaybar development.
We got a chance to test the prototype rear swaybar at the PCA SDR autocross last weekend. Here's all the gory details. I felt the need to be wordy so as to help provide and accurate picture. (The content are my own words. Although I have been given permission to discuss this, I want to make it clear that I am not speaking for Ira.) Attached image(s)

The Car:
'Tinkerbell' 1975 914 with 2.0 D-jet Type 4. Open differential. Front: 21mm torsion bars. Tarett swaybar- 22mm effective, set 55% stiff for entire day. Rear: 200 lbs springs. Tarett swaybar - 16mm effective. 50% stiff first half. Full soft second half. Shocks:Koni Yellows at all 4 corners. All set at half. Tires: Although the CS class permits use of stickier tires, Falken Azenis were fitted due to the car owner being a CSOB and having only one set of suitable rims. Tire pressures were finalized at 26 psi hot for timed runs. |
