Malc Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Can anyone help - I need advise on setting up my capri which I race at Ruapuna in Classic Saloons. Someone must know how to get these cars to handle, as I have the car competitive but, the handleing is letting it down and I am not sure on the best up. Please help - Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk5corty Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 i assume that you have all round adjustable koni's maybe, kingsprings or the like and full polyurethane bushes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malc Posted June 17, 2006 Author Share Posted June 17, 2006 Hi - No it has non adjustable shocks, front has adj 24mm roll bar and 350 pound springs and the rear has a light weight swaybar and muti-leaf springs. What srping rates shoud be used, also caster and camber settings etc. Parmside in ChCh athink I should fit coil overs with non adj group four inserts but are not sure on the springs. Also the car require something to stop the lateral rear axel movement. the car runs 1.44 at Ruapuna, all I need is around 2 secs a lap to keep up with the RS Porshe's etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Does it have a panhard rod or 5 link kit? Im not sure about the rear shocks on Capris but can you get them turreted or something? Does it have adjustable top hats or tca's? Can you get a double width anti rollbar kit for them or run twin front sway bars? Does it have quick rack - ie 2.5 lock or similar? nolathane bushes all round? check out this site too http://turbosport.co.uk/index.php - alot of knowledge there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malc Posted June 18, 2006 Author Share Posted June 18, 2006 Thinking of fitting a panhard rod to help lateral movrment as 5 link kit is not allowed in classics owing to COD regs Also fitting adjustable top mounts on the front Quick rack - fitted Nolathane bushes all round, to be fitted What are the best inserts to use on an coil over set up - pref adj Main area of confusion is fron spring rating and rear leafs - single or multi and what rating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
