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 |

John - I did fail to mention that the front and rear bushings are all new - poly. All very tight...thanks. I have thought about possibly bringing the toe in some in the rear too but the front is on the verge of scary - even at just 80-90! What Camber do you run?
It could be that I'm just rusty and being a wussy...but I don't believe so in this case. Also. I'll be running Hoosier R7's, 650 lb rear springs and 23mm T bars up front. T |

T What sort of poly, Elephants multi piece poly bronze or are you talking a single piece of plastic? Single piece poly bushings, especially in the front, will bind and severely impact handling and ride quality. They can also wind up damaging your chassis and control arms. I have a thread somewhere on here with pictures of the damage caused by poly bushings. The harder ones can be made to work ok in the rear but absolutely must be machined to exact fit. Whatever you are running make sure they are allowing for smooth suspension movement. My experience is autocross only, but i would agree with all the comments on rear toe, without a little toe in on the rear it can be lively and sometimes unpredictable. |
