Ok, so now that we have stepped up the game and have found more lateral cornering G's I am in lifting the inside rear tire again.
No rear sway (of course) High rebound rear shocks 200 lb rear coil over. high rebound koni race shock and 21mm torsion bars in front with 22 Weltmiester bar. set as much as I can before the car pushes. So looking for advise on LSD what's available and what's the difference of each in an autocross application. |

Interesting thing about autocross suspension setup is that you can have two guys with the same brand and model car, both blistering fast, totally disagree about how to set up the car... I know a guy in the Minneapolis area that used to show up in his wife's car, stock 6 cyl Camaro because his was on jackstands and STILL spank tail. Sometimes, its just the driver. Randy something or other for you MAC guys...
I have never used race tires on an autocross course but I notice lots of you guys do. Doesn't that change the whole mindset on the setup? |

Doesn't that change the whole mindset on the setup? yep (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) another kettle of fish. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) look at NASCAR, (sorry), they are all on the same track and the drivers use widely different setups. some like it softer, some like it tighter, some do it with bars, some do it with shocks and springs.... it is a total combination of driver AND car. Jeff Reitmeir has like 8 SCCA championships, some in the now Nieslony 914 and some in a BMW M3 and some in a 924S IIRC. I tend to listen to him alot when he talks about setups and driving techinques. right now the #100 has a strangle hold on TTOD in Zone 7 but Parade is a much different animal...only about 3 runs and Provasi has proven time and again that he can get a very quick time in only a few runs. Plus his car is really a track set up.... Can't say that about the "Smurf". If it is a high speed long course my money goes on Provasi. Tight techincal course goes to the Hamilton Racing #100. Years ago we had quite a few highly modified 914s similar to Provasi's. several with 3.4L crank fired, tube framed, race tired monsters. And they would run against the Newlin's extremely light 4 cylinder 914 race car. Most times the big motored cars would win, but the Newlin car was always close and sometimes would take TTOD on tighter technical courses. Big wide open courses go to the big horsepowered cars, almost always with equal driving. |
