Bill,
I'd be there except it is 29th wedding anniversary - divorce for sure if I autox'd instead of the get-away-day and dinner celebration. Great venue - have fun.

Hi Dan,

I figured the prep work on your car wouldn't be finished.

Looking good for CDS on 4/15 and 4/16?

I'm filling out my paperwork for the TT on 4/29 and 4/30.

Yes, maiden voyage is going to be the 15th with CDS. Good venue to dial things in a bit.
Will be at TT#2 all ready to go.

Sorry to miss this AX at Marina. ....looks like great weather. Have fun!

I will be dragging my budget six conversion to Track Masters at Infineon the end of this month and CDS in April. I'll head up to first Zone AX too.

Should be intersting since I will be learning how to drive a six with fat wheels and tires. I'm so used to keeping my foot flat on the floor with my 1.8 I think it will be interesting to have almost double the power. I will also be figuring out what I want to do with my suspension. I have so many differnt setup recomendations I think I need to just drive my on my current suspension and then start making changes.

Grant,

Let me check my spring box here at home. I might have a few that you can try in different increments....

I have a bunch in the 350lbs to 450lbs range, but come to think of it I think Andy S (Wyld6) was going to borrow them to test his car, I'll have to PM him.

I know I have 180's, 200's and 250's around here...I think (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif)

Randal,

Did I sell you the 200's or 250's last year? I can't remember?

Anyway...I'll check and see what I have...at least you can try them our at the AX's and see how the car responds. If we show up at the same event I'll help you swap them out inbetween sessions if you want.

Grant,

I just checked my stash....Here's what I have:

H&R 10" 2.25 I.D. 250#

Eibach 10" 2.5" I.D. 350#
Eibach 10" 2.5" I.D. 400#
Eibach 10" 2.5" I.D. 450#

I must have sold my 200's or 220's to Randal a few years ago.

If you are running standard size Bilstein's or Koni's in the back, you'll most likely want the 2.5" I.D. springs, but these are probably too stiff for your car currently. You wouldn't be able to adjust out the oversteer with a 22mm Welt bar.

I ran a 27mm Smart bar with 23mm Tbars on our 914. I could then use the springs above with the Smart bar and adjust as I pleased.

Thanks Bill! My car currently has 200# springs and stock torsion bars with 21 mm weltmiester front swaybar. I have a sense that with 265 width tires in the rear and 225's in the front I may need more spring than 200#.

I have your springs on my car now. I'll have to ask Brad what size they were, unless you can read it off the springs.

Don't you remember (OMG) two years ago - we were all changing springs back and forth so much that it was like playing drop the soap. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

I can't stress this enough:
Get the BIG front bar and stock rear bar on that car!

Ride with me at SR. I'll show you (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Come up to Thill after your track day at Sears if you like.

I have 12in 275 2.5id's on the back right now..

I have a feeling that it will be to much spring for the track, but just enough for the tight autox's...
