Lateral-g Forums - Budget '69 Camaro Track Car

Thanks Corey. I put a call into Ron Sutton for the task. I felt I needed the shocks because I thought the ones I were using were bottoming out and making me loose at entry. After Ron called Vince for some measurements and info turns out I wasn't bottoming the outside shock out, I was over extending the inside shock and picking up the inside rear wheel. Ron has a call into Penske right now and the plan is to go with the Penske 7500DA's last we talked.

Very nice, thanks for the reply Gaetano.

Hey, so one thing I forgot to mention.......Joe Pecavar stopped by Vinces to check the tune on my motor and found two broken rocker studs.

Looking good GAE. Lucky you having the Ron man in the neighborhood. Those Penskes should make a big difference out back. :thumbsup:

Do you have traditional shackles on the rear of your leafs or sliders? I don't know if I've ever seen your set up.

Thanks Rob. I've considered sliders many times but never pulled the trigger. Like Vince says, shackles, pollies, and the Fays II Watts is what I have been getting by on.

Vince, thats alot of extra space back there under the car that is going to trap alot of air. Were going to have to look into a way of keeping air from getting trapped in there. Time not being on our side might have to fill it with foam blocks cut to shape and cover with sheet metal temporarily and then build some sort of diffuser. Nother option could be splitter and side skirts.

Amen on the Penske's.....I couldn't believe the improvement and tune-ability when I installed a 3-way on my Ducati. Besides they're real purdy. :thumbsup:

Sliders! :sieg:

Embarrassingly enough I have never seen those! I've been planning on Global West or Hotchkis bushings on my GW L2 springs. Is the end performance result of the slider considering the price difference comparable.......for a pro-tinkerer on a tight budget?

Gaetano didn't like the cell so far back so we pushed it up 5 inches.

Snip here snip there and its back in.

Would be nice to have PAYING customers....

Then the high maintenance would be worth the effort.

I agree with him though -- get that weight as near center as possible....

Oh yeah -- and all the re-work helps keep him off the track.
