June 2, 201016 yr comment_441955 a locker, talent, fwd When I was competing in Ballarat, it was generally accepted that fwd was approx. 3-5 seconds quicker per lap of the autocross track. The bastards don't have to lift off when thay start sliding :abuse: Report
June 2, 201016 yr comment_441978 my dad drives v8 supercars I was going to make a comment about this bit but since the thread has finely moved on i'm not going to worry about it.... About the only way i could think of "beating" that '82 is grip, but to be able to make the same fast turns as what the '82 can do you'd have to have the tail slide out and then you'll be losing the grip which will slow you down. unless you can pull some talent out of your Report
June 3, 201016 yr comment_442034 Yeah... ask your Dad, he seems to know how to do it! The trouble is that you're just starting your racing career and it is all about experience, especially when the driver is doing the car setup/building as well. Try different things on your gravel test track- brakes, suspensions, weights ... everything mentioned here. The more you do the more you learn. Report

June 3, 201016 yr comment_442156 What diff are you using Mitch? Locked? Limited slip? Any regulations over what you're allowed? Report
June 3, 201016 yr Author comment_442158 locked i welded it up. rules are normal khanacross rules, anything goes anything to dramatic they make me a special different class. but if i keep it a chassis car I'm right. engine free but bigger it is i go up classes, gearbox,diff,suspension free and road tyres only.

June 5, 201016 yr Author comment_442641 hmm... I'm thinking something along the lines of rotary Report
June 5, 201016 yr comment_442652 My opinion of that would be get the suspension sorted first and then maybe up the motor. Its no good having a massive power house under the bonnet and not being able to fully utilize it at the ground. In other words - big torque monster of a motor but its useless cause all it does is smoke up the tires cause they can't hook up to the road cause the anti-squat and roll steer hasn't been figured out. .

June 5, 201016 yr comment_442679 Do you get axle tramp Mitch? Does the tail step out under brakes? Battery in the boot? Radiator? Driver in the back seat? Softer rear springs or harder, flatter or more curved? You should compare notes with Rob, he does exactly the same events. Edited June 5, 201016 yr by altezzaclub Report
