I liked the kitty portion of the video and the option to skip, which I won’t do but gives others the choice. Cats are cool, I’ve got my share of indoor and outdoor felines.

OK, so this is pretty cool. I just messaged them so no idea what'll come of it but "it's an honor just to be nominated..." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

That's really cool! It's amazing what you have done without letting any of the "magic smoke" out!

WRONG picture!
The new exhaust looks much better IMO. It's Art as well as being exhaust! Congrats on the nomination! |

I think I commented on your wiring when you were doing it. It was so nice to see that done properly and to such a high standard.
Glad to see you getting additional validation on that wiring! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) |

After a lot of work on the 914 Ferrari, it's time to give some love to the LS car.
There are a hand full of things that need improving and it's time to get started on those. You'll hear all about it in an upcoming "At The Red Barn" YouTube episode but for now: - replace the clutch master cyl. It needs a smaller bore size to decrease the needed force/lengthen the engagement travel. - upgrade the dampers. I'm going all in on 3-way adjustables. Not sure which brand but contenders are Moton, Tractive, KW and maybe others. The suspension shop I'm working with needs a data to set a baseline for spring rates a damper valving. This includes: - motion ratio of the trailing arms (wheel travel vs shock travel) - unsprung weight values - overall weight info So I borrowed a set of scales to get started. Just over 2300 lbs wet isn't too bad! Pay no attention to the corner balance. All that set up stuff has yet to be done. Ideally, lessons learned on the LS car will likely transfer to the 914 Ferrari.

We spend lots of time (and $) on various parts of our cars and there's no shortage of info on rust repair, engine builds, etc., but I haven't seen much on suspension set up. So, I'm
documenting my journey to hunt down the ultimate 914 suspension set up. Thought you might find some of this intereting. Yep, I have much to learn - but I gotta start somewhere! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVBCh6m8uxc |

Do you have a target ride frequency or info on what your supplier is targeting?
With respect to motion ratios - measurement is great. Also take a look in the paddock there are a number of guys in there with spreadsheets of part weights, and motion ratios, camber curves, etc. I apologize for not having a link - I don’t spend much time over there. The main downside of that forum is that much of the info is related to track modifications but often they measured stock info as a baseline. |
