Here's where the car stands.
Front: 911 Targa front suspension 22mm Elephant Racing torsion bars Bilsteins 8X18 Hollow spoke turbo twisties Almost new Pilot Sports About 1.5 degrees of camber. Minimal caster and toe. No sway bar. Rear: Koni Sports set on stiff rebound 150 lb. coils (and no, I'm not going stiffer. I have back problems as it is) 11X18 Hollow spoke turbo twisties Almost new Pilot Sports Approximately 2 degrees of camber. Approximately 0 degree of toe No sway bar. I'm finding the car is predictably over-steering with balanced throttle. Is there a way to adjust either of the suspensions to get a more centered drift and less over-steer given my current setup? All suggestions are greatly appreciated. Cheers. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Thanks Dave,
I will loosen my rears shocks a little and see what that does for me. Unfortunately I think I threw a rod yesterday running the twisties up at Grizzly Peak Blvd. in Berkeley. I guess I'm not the engine builder I thought I was. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/alfred.gif) I did find 2 threads on front sway bar installations and both were VERY helpful. I actually think I can do it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) here http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...c=70221&hl= and here http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/9...ont_swaybar.htm I have run out of money at this time so Bebe will take a little rest for now as I continue my plans (studying for the CA Real Estate license). I will be playing with paint schemes and installing that adjustable sway bar in the mean time. I've gotta' say this car has been an adventure to say the least.
