AlWakRa 370z's Journal - PW from Qatar

Last update of the season, we are reaching summer and the weather temps will rise from here onward.

I did two events, one AutoX and the other was a trackday, I got more feel about the suspension.

On AutoX, I had 4 runs, I started it with a run with soft settings, the car was like a boat

, stiffened the fronts with soft rears, it was tighter in front, but squats when I turn and accelerate, until I maxed the stiffness, and the car felt very tight and responsive, I have been in a very tough class, the class simply is any car with 2.5-3.7 engines NA or 1.6-2.5 FI, all other mods are open without restriction, many modified cars and luckily I got 3rd place. This is my best run

Then before the track, I lowered the rear a little and re-aligned the car, went with -2.8 front and -1.85 rear, toe and caster the same as before, I returned the Nexens, and on the track I tried to feel the suspension rather than trying to get lap times, started with very soft rears and stiffened the rears, my front left fender was rubbing, with soft setting, the car was less likely to bounce, which I concluded that the issue was due to stiff setting, but while the car was putting the power well on exit, I felt the rear was too soft to my liking, it squats a lot which I felt sometimes it disturbs the weight shifting. I liked it more with stiffest setting, although it was bouncing, but it was putting the power efficiently, so maybe the track I attend is very smooth that I need to get stiffer rear springs, I will contact Josh to see what we can do, I think I will go to 9KG at rear (the stiffest he suggest for a car with aero) and no need to revalve the shocks.

This is a short session from last track

Some photos I got
