I've been busy uploading and editing a couple hundred photos I shot at an event last night............talking about photography in this thread is definitely waaay off-topic.

Ron in So Cal is the wheel guy. Maybe he can see them.

I'll post a vintage wheel pic from last night to get this thread back on topic.............

So what you're saying is,, no love for Tuc or Rev and you still can't tune a carb worth a sh*t!! Yup yup

ANOTHER GREAT PIC THOUGH... NOW GET OVER TO THE PIC THREAD AND POST EM UP!! MAYBE EVEN BRING BACK THAT NORWOOD CREATURE TOO

Why Dave & Jer changed to cat & chicken avatars


...

AND SO ARE YOU RON

DON'T REALLY KNOW WHY WE DID. DAVE'S NOW AN ANGRY PUSS W/ TEETH AND I'M A CHICKLET W/ BIG GUNS

JerDog give Sieg some credit at least he's with us in the 1940's slo touring world. Maybe by the time Ron (in SoCAl) figures that laptop out Sieg will have a handle on the 4150 metering blocks.

DG has always been an angry puss with bright white teeth. That's why he looks good in Mauve.

I'm not touching the chicklet with guns comment. I know better.

Here's a concept that may be hard for some to comprehend........I've been driving ol' Norwood everyday since Wednesday of last week.

Back to Ferd's and KPI...........

They look like SMALL guns ... but hey ... it's your story ... you tell it how you want.

You guys are "special."

Very special.


Before I post the info on tuning with roll centers ... does anyone want to further discuss:

a. Tuning to balance a car with bigger rear tires

b. Effects of different track widths

c. Tire characteristics on different rim widths

d. The true definition of "Jiffy Pop" wheels

e. High Travel/Low Roll Suspensions

f. Heather Rene, wheels for my car, wheels on my pit carts

g. Any parts of steering geometry: KPI, Caster, Caster Gain, Camber, Camber gain, Ackerman, toe, etc.

h. Scrub radius

i .Why Dave & Jer changed to cat & chicken avatars

j. What happens to the handling when changing tires to or from slicks

k. The difference between being "involved" or "committed"

a. Tuning to balance a car with bigger rear tires

This one could be a general thread item since so many cars on this forum run as wide as possible in the rear. In fact many have an even greater split than on my car

b. Effects of different track widths

In a previous post on scrub and spindles you focused on maximizing track width. At some point on a really tight course such as some of the peanut autoxs maybe too much track is a bad thing? What about that? Is there an optimal range based on a ratio of track vs wheelbase and I imagine this changes with the cars intended use. Specific to my problem I am somewhat limited on track and over indulging in wheelbase so what unique issues does that cause for my build?

c. Tire characteristics on different rim widths I think Matt is pretty clear that he needs a low rim width to allow for super low air pressure when he goes rock crawling

d. The true definition of "Jiffy Pop" wheels
That has now been trademarked and it's use in any sticky threads is subject to fines and or JerDog

e. High Travel/Low Roll Suspensions

Once Gae's mood swing subsides and he gains an understanding of the new thread post and PM features he should contact you and that could be the title of the new sticky

f. Heather Rene, wheels for my car, wheels on my pit carts
We really just need more pictures to fully understand the HR concept.

g. Any parts of steering geometry: KPI, Caster, Caster Gain, Camber, Camber gain, Ackerman, toe, etc.
Since I believe I have a low amount of scrub in seeking a KPI/Castor split to gain grip on those tiny 285s I have up front is it more advantageous to simply gain castor by changing my UCA or would a spindle with a lower KPI angle be a better route. I realize the smaller angle of the spindle would create more scrub but since I have a high inside offset I would still be in what you consider the "low" range.

h. Scrub radius
All scrubbed up

i .Why Dave & Jer changed to cat & chicken avatars
That is the least of their problems or our problems with them

j. What happens to the handling when changing tires to or from slicks
Until I get some real specifics on my car and can post some questions followed by real world track results from the changes I'm good on this

k. The difference between being "involved" or "committed"

I'm involved in building a car.
Gae should be committed.
JerDog is involved in some trash talk.
Dave is committed to change.
GW is involved with INTORS.
I am committed to Formula43
Ron in So Cal is committed to wheels.
Ron in So Cal is committed to wheels.
Ron in So Cal is committed to wheels.

99.9999999999% on the forum are involved with a Camaro.
I am committed to a Torino.

I choose the path of the pig since I am committed to whooping some involved chickens.



...

in seeking how to balance my car's handling then a discussion on roll centers is in order.

Yup ... got it!

Do we all need to sign agreements stating we understand & agree?
