Well Greg the first thing you gotta do is come to the track when there are people racing. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I don't like giving canned answers to peoples race car problems because every car is different. Each chassis is different so the same responses won't give the same effects. Are you referring to your old car or your new car?

Kevin has a great job. Make sure you develope the connections to hook a teener up to your testing stuff.

They test race cars all the time..... NASCAR, F1 cars (before we gave Jag away) even some FSAE cars, but I haven't been able to find someone willing to allow me to bring in my car.

And yes, Greg, it all depends. Sorry, but that's the truth. I've gone down a path addressing what I think are the biggest problems with the 914 suspension and so has Brett, Brad and others; but the problems and solutions are different. Some are successful, some are not. Having not tried them all, I can't say which is which. All I can say it what I think has helped my car, but even that is suspect because I didn't have real data on the car before I made the changes (since I only auto-xed it on street tires).

There is one universal blanket statement that applies to all track cars...... additional seat time will account for more improvements than probably any other single thing.
