i guess i'll need to pointedly ask someone to note what the "shape" of the car looks like in certain sections. other than the "wow. oh crap" factor while driving, it's hard to know what's going. but then the "it looks good kevin", makes others more competitive. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) running on other than street tires should put people completely dif class. just a set of carbs bumped me into improved.

I don't follow all the "remove the rear bar" talk. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)
I never spin the rear tires. There's one course where the cars go down into a banked turn and then back up onto course. You can get airborne a little if you come out fast. All the fast cars do that though, bar or not. My car is super flat in the turns and rotates- very predictable. I can't imagine ever removing the rear bar. If it's not twitchy now. Removing the bar won't improve it. Tell me something. KT Attached image(s)

It depends on the rear roll stiffness relative to the front roll stiffness. If you have a large front bar relative to the rear, and/or stiff torsion bars compared to rear springs, you won't have the problem with the rear lifting. I bet you have a large front bar. It's all in the combo! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Andrew |

Not yet. I'll move the rears to the front for the next session. After Zone weekend I'll have them re-mounted, inside-out.
Shoulda came to RR. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

Arrrrhhhh! Group: Members Posts: 4,327 Joined: 16-March 03 Member No.: 433 Region Association: None |
I know I could use a little heavier spring in the back - say a 200 lb rather than the 175 lb springs I have currently. I think that would give me nicely balanced car with my current front swaybar. I believe that would keep the front wheel on the ground and help me get around some of those slow corners better. I still have plenty of adjustment left on my front bar to counteract the heavier springs. I also have plenty of firmness I can dial into the front if the car gets too twitchy. I havent seen your car lift a front wheel for awhile Nathan. Back to the Hoosiers I checked mine again becuase all this wear talk had me worried and they look really good to me. |
