MVSCC - ran two auto-x's this weekend on Saturday night and Sunday
3 - 914s showed - mine being one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) I run in NASA E class with my mods. Sat night we finished up at ~1:00 am Sunday morning. It was fun, took off so I could get back for the Sunday mourning event. I came in second in class 1.1 second behind a well sorted Honda CRX running fresh R compounds. I did not even know I placed 2nd had 6 cars in class. BTW, I was running a set of Yoko AVS Intermediates. Can't even tell you how old these are. Sunday came like a lion 4 hours of sleep, back out and worked on the car to make a few changes from my base setup. Added a little more front sway bar and add some rear neg. camber, I was over-steer happy with the yomamas. I looked like I was a drifter. Oh and one big change, my older Kumho,s came out 2 years old, mounted on my 6.5" Minilights. The race started I stared 2 seconds faster than I had been the night before. I finished with a 52.889 , class leader was a Miata that showed today, with a 51.987. Had a great time now I have a bunch of questions. I need to hook up the rear end just a little more!!!! I get wheel lift coming out of the corner, which means spinning which means lost time. Current setup. 19mm 911 front bars 21mm front sway bar, set about 2.1/10th of an off the front. 150 pound rear springs stock 15mm rear bar. Toe Front 1/8" in, rear set for 0" Front Camber 1.4 degrees, rear was setup for 1.5 degrees, took out a thin plate this morning, have not meassured it since then. Bilstiens all around 6.5x15" Minilites with 205/50R15 Victoracres wrapped around them. Tire pressure what is that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Can't say what they are right now, I liked how it was handling except the wheel spin that I ddi not mess with pressures. Last night I dropped the rears just to get them to bite a little hard on my last run and it worked. I know a lot of you will say it is the rear bar causing me the trouble. You are probably correct, but I like a car with a rear bar. I have got it pretty well balanced right now, where I can steer it via the throttle. The car is dancing pretty nicely, had a box turn I could take flat out in second gear today. Just by blipping the throttle to get the rear to set out. So I am thinking clutch limited slip. I know it will make the car push a little more, but I can back out the front bar. When your spinning R-compounds coming off the corners I think I have a traction problem. |
