mikuni Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Sweet, cheers for advice. Will check that stuff and maybe some of the other possibly dodgy things. any proj thread updates brad? Nah, pretty much had baby 9 Months ago..... lol. I've fixed many of the problems I found last year at Hampton Downs though, so that's a bonus. What about the doortle bodies? They must add about eleven or more horsepower. I just slammed 205 on budget coilovers and now I don't know how to make it go around corners. And it seems to get hot really fast and I'm not entirely sure why. I reckon set the rear slightly higher than the front and quite firm with decent spring rates, and set the front lower and softer in a front wheel drive. I've even taken out my front sway bar to try and soften the front and keep the inside wheel on the ground. Will be interesting to see if it helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8Pete Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I've put 175 lbs springs in the front after trying 225 and 200. Some jokers run like 300 and 400 though so I dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 che. yeah i was peaking out that they'd want to check my shit out hardcore (not that there's anything dodgey about it) but it was pretty casual. if you have the obvious stuff sorted then i guess they wont prod too far. i was expecting them to jack it up etc but meh.

Pretty sure the car will be broken by then so I’m in! It's pretty much changing hourly. Now it's looking not so bad, more like showers but quite windy. Hopefully that'll mean it dries out quickly.

V8Pete Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Pete, ima need a report on the dual sprints. Gossip, lap times, the lot. The weather first thing in the morning was yuck so I got my Swandri out of the fridge and went to Tomisa's to eat his sausage. Brad's tail lights didn't work so failed scrutineering. I was given a warning about my fire extinguisher not having enough straps. Dave needed to get some tyres with grooves swapped onto his rims. Qualifying seemed to go on for hours so there was only time for two races before lunch but by then it'd stopped raining. Dave's car ran like a sack of dicks so he tinkered with it. I ate more sausages. Dave and I finally got our first race in at about 2 pm. The Peugeot ran lushly. It was the first time I took it on a track since 2009 and since putting in the new engine and coilovers so was pretty pleased for its first outing. Did 1:31s - two seconds slower than the Clio. Dave did 1:34s I think with the Lotus running like shit. Would trade again. We're going to have Ferrari dual sprints next year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
