Well since your going there:

keep it steel
We need to narrow it
Heim joint rod is hitting upper bracket when I max it out for length.

Sorry guys, Go Pro vid is a fail so I'll just run through the day session by session. Most laps I got in each session were maybe 4-5 at the most. As soon as I new I wasn't going to turn a faster lap I came in to log info and make adjustments and let me add trying to tune on a slick track was no easy task.
Session one started out well. 1st and second lap felt fine in the corners. I was relaxed and taking the car in. She felt really smooth and neutral in the corners. I started to get on er a little harder the third lap and she started to feel real greasy. Hot tires slick track. 4th lap I was coming up on three real hard. I came in from the outside for a late apex with an early turn in anticipating the four wheel drift to nail the apex perfectly. 1/4 of the way in the back end came around and I caught her just in time to be able to drive straight through the dry grass with 4 off and continue through four. Time to bring er in. Only thing that made me nervous was the shuttering of the steering wheel heading down the straight. It had never done this before and I attribute it to the new alignment set up for now but I will be checking, bearings, brakes, etc. The new alignment went from 1.8 neg camber to 2.5 and I brought the toe in another 32th for 1/16 positive toe on each side.

Time to hit the sack. To be continued......

Glad you had a good time Gae!


Just so ya know - I've always had all my wheels on the track even when I spun it in turn 9...

I can only imagine how greasy it was out there today. OMG.... Way too hot! The oil would have been oozing out it.


How hot were YOU??
