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. |

Yada Yada yada.
See page 66 of the June Sports car. See anybody you know? Ok for all you guys that swim in little ponds it says " Board Member Hassan Malik led 48 drivers with FTD run in Joe Ricard's XP 914. This also was a PAX win. Got 300's for the rear springs yesterday I suspect I'll have to bump up the front sway bar now. |

Got 300's for the rear springs yesterday I suspect I'll have to bump up the front sway bar now. Heh.....I suspect you're right and as I wrote, ditch the rear bar. The only 914 I've driven that actually lifted the rear inside tire had a rear bar.....That caused some mid turn cussin'. "First, do no harm" is from the hippocratic oath, but could well apply to selecting parts for your 914.....at least for those of us on a limited budget. I've made a few mistakes along these lines.....fortunately with no lasting financial effects, but forced to run an AX season with the mistake. My foray into 10in wide front wheels & slicks is a good example.....that's where I learned about scrub radius.....a lesson that was pounded in the whole season (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Nobody told me I was making a mistake and therein lies the rub when going to slicks on a 914. Few folks in my circle of friends have been there. When someone like Mr Fordahl (whose resume includes crew chief & suspension set-up guru for Job Racing's ALMS GT2 cars) gives me advise, I listen. |
