OK I left out a few details.
In Harolds defense I took 3 truckloads of parts (not efficiently packed). Do you need a Monsa or stock muffler or stock HE? Is a cracked case worth keeping?
I changed out the Victoracers.
The Victoracers are mounted on 8 inch Boyds. In order to fit them PO (anonimity is good) placed about 1/2 inch of washers under the rear springs. Ingenious but it has the stance of a Chevelle. Id post pics but it is only my 8th post.
Also the KYBs are red. This is different than what the internet research would suggest. And I guess the white shocks on the parts car are KYBs too.
The PO who by all accounts could drive this setup fast had a major spin too which cost him (and now me) a rear trailing arm. I was just wondering if lighter springs would be more stable and better to start with in my inexperienced hands.
Not wanting to waste the AX tires on my first time out I put on the "other" tires that came with the car Lemans 185 86T's (The studs are on the parts car). I can not even read that rating but they must be performance tires because they are "Lemans"
I was running about 40 psi because that is what "Solo Racing" and Miatia Mitch suggest generically.
The front sway bar is a Weltmeister and I do not think it is adjustable. It is too dark and wet to check now.
OK new plan for next AX. No rear washers and start with 32psi in the POS tires. I'll bring a small tank of air.
I was wondering if I should swap springs with the parts car when I remove these washers. I won't for now. But this car is too much fun to drive to limit it to AX.
I'll mount some decent tires on the fuchs once I get them polished. Koni sports will probably be the next major purchase. I need to decide if I'm going to take a hammer
to the fenders before I know the fate of the Boyds and the Victoracers.
Airsix are you running Sat & Mon of Memorial weekend. Sat I'll probably be removing washers from my suspension as I'm out of town the next two weekends.
