Thanked 3 Times in 3 Posts
Thursday night I spent removing the front swaybar, and then re-adjusting the endlinks - as I was heaving some nasty binding in the bars driving around and turning at lower speeds.
I have resolved the noise issues with the front bar - but I have not resolved the rear. There is still a bit of what sounds like is binding when I go over bumps. I adjusted the rear endlinks 3 times and fixed a good bit of the sounds - but its still there. I think I am going to take the rear bar off and move the orange arms more inward - and see what that does.
Since I got the car driveable - I went to a test and tune here @ Zmax Dragway.
This is the first time that I have run down the 1/4 mile in over 7 years - and first time in a RWD car, and only the second time I have ever drag raced a manual trans car.
My best past of the night was a 13.8 @ 104 mph - needless to say I was less then impressed, haha.
The rear Pilot Sport Cup tires would not hook at all - they just spun through first and second and into third gear. These tires are shot - and I have a set of 345 30 19 tires to go on, plus the 45* temperatures outside probably didn't help either.
I didn't break anything - so thats always a bonus, lol.
Now for the pics and videos!
