Me either but they seem solid. I am going to have dial it in at the track. I know I need to upgrade to a good two way coilover. He is a MCS dealer and sells tons of them to Porsche owners.

MCS is good stuff!

I know of a local 370z that runs MCS, but I don’t think the owner is on here though. Would’ve been great to do a ride and compare.

So a little bit of an update. The car has been corner balanced and the suspension setup. I don't have any data on ride height and specifics yet. He did tell me he probably would not lower the car more than a half inch from stock. All in all she not is a little heavier than I would have guessed but she has a full cage, monster bash bar, TT kit, 315 30 18 tires and wheels that are just under 20 lbs each. Still freaking stoked about the setup and the cross weights are as perfect as one can hope for.

Edit: The weight include my weight in full race gear, 210 lbs and about 12 to 15 gallons of e85. So the car is about 3190 curb weight. Fun fact, e85 weighs more than gasoline!

Some ballast weight on the pass side would help. Have JC sit on the pass side.

LMAO, that is more like a boat anchor for a small battle ship.

Think you have it backwards.

"That's a battleship anchor for a small boat."

I would say a coast guard cutter anchor for a canoe.

I can vouch for that. It threw my corner balance way off and the car handled like a pig.

I always do my best times when there is a passenger.

This is because you relax and just drive the car smoothly without over driving it. I always go faster after instructing a driver. Instructing gives me an opportunity to see the track and driving lines without having to worry about at the things you need to focus on when driving.

also sub 3200 curb is pretty good all things considered!

Think you mean this. It will loop back around after a few miles.

LMAO, every time I see picture of those red walls I look for my car as it is still there. Hopefully, that will change sometime in the upcoming weeks. He just had his open house this weekend and the amount of P cars was ridiculous.
