The first video shows a couple laps running behind the 914/6/3.0 (SixAddict) of a good friend. The longer part shows a little more solo action...man these cars are fun!
Second Day after changes (1 lap only) - amazing balance in the car! https://youtu.be/NhHMaa0_R5o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhHMaa0_R5o https://youtu.be/LfFdP8GnXiQ (12+ minutes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfFdP8GnXiQ https://youtu.be/9Te6GScwxek (3 minutes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Te6GScwxek The GT3 Cup is faster everywhere but still allot of fun to (try) keep up with. I might be a smidgen faster down the straights - barely at best. Tony |

How confident are you in your suspension pick-up points? In the suspension members themselves? Could anything be flexing overly?

I didn't see what tires you are running. Camber settings are very different for different tires (e.g. radials - slicks or DOT style - like more camber than bias ply tires). With that said, your settings seem in the ballpark, though you might want more camber for R compound radials.
What struck me is your toe settings. For a track car, I like toe out in front - about 1/16" total toe out. In the rear, for a 914 you need 1/4" total toe in as mentioned in the earlier post. As for the dartiness you mention. you have 0 toe in the back. The rear is probably toeing out while you are driving, due to flex (and also the 914 rear suspension naturally toes out under compression). Rear toe-out will definitely make the car feel darty. You can also check for any looseness in your suspension, and make sure your rear suspension mounting point in particular are solid, since that is a weak area in 914s. Scott |
