We took the Camaro to Delmar this weekend & did some Autocrossing .. We had a bunch of fun & of course learned a lot more about tuning a suspension… We had to make some pretty crazy changes to get the car to turn on that nasty hairpin they had on peanut Auto-X.. Brian Hobaugh was driving it for the event.. Kyle Tucker & Mike Maier also took a spin around the course! A lot of information was being relayed to make BB better..
The one thing I knew we were having is piston knock back on the rear.. Auto-X is where I have experienced it the most.. plus also blew another set of ring & pinion on the car… Here are some pics of what is happening You can see where the axle stop is grinding into the seal plus has a ring that is creating a surface that I am not liking.. The rear end is out of the car! Floating rear is going into the car!
I meet with Jason & Jay from the THE GMR today! They brought in some parts for me to take a look at & see if this is the route I wanted to go to on BB.. The quality of their parts are top notch! Jason is picking up the rear end tomorrow morning to convert it to their floater system.. Plus got a few more of their parts going on the car.. JCG will be working on some other projects with THE GMR here pretty soon!
Got some other changes coming too... JRI shocks! The AFCO's are good.. but we want more!
