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? Randy Williams, and he's still stupid fast. I think in a shopping cart with one stuck wheel he'd still kick most of our butts. LOL!!! I had a vision of one wheel wagging back and forth... Even his girlfriend was faster than most of the guys... Don Gettinger still around? How about Charles Hoffman? Randy split up w/her before I joined the club, 6-7 yrs ago. Don is still around and driving the second oldest car in the club, his '64 vett. The oldest car is a '59 bug eye sprite on slicks that comes and goes on a trailer, as does Don's '64. I have the next oldest car with my '73 914, and the oldest car that comes and goes under its own power. There is also a '73 Opel GT, but it also travels by trailer. There was a '70 914 for a couple seasons, but that guy, (Dave-O) scored a ride with an STU M3 and the 914 is now a commuter. Club has grown a ton. We now regularly run 150+ cars for 6 runs each at events. We have a big cube van and dedicated timing trailer for set up and storage. At any given event there are at least 6-10 past national trophy winners in the grid, along with at least 1 wearing the jacket. Its a tough crowd to impress these days. No Charles Hoffman since I've been around. |

No Charles Hoffman since I've been around. Too bad about Randy splitting with her. She was a beauty. I watched the front suspension break off of Don Gettinger's Vette at COMMANGSAC one year. That car has been through a lot. I will get up there one day with the silver car. It will be good to be back with the mosquitos and the humidity. Easier to get heat into the tires! |
