I won the Dixie Champ Tour in B Street this past weekend!

Managing the awful stock VLSD was the main challenge with 2 very tight hairpin turns, plus slight kinks at the starting line where other cars are not affected. The car has to be pointed straight to put power down.

Awesome job! What are you using for your data logger/gps app?

Thanks! I have the VBOX Sport GPS which is highly accurate with a 20 Hz refresh rate. This stores the data to it's own SD card as a ".vbo" file. I then import the VBO and video files into Racerender and it overlays the gauges on the video. The camera is 100% independent from the GPS until I merge the files with Racerender.

The VBOX also has bluetooth which can talk to apps real time like Solostorm, Harry's Laptimer, etc. The VBOX also comes with it's own desktop software which is very powerful for data analysis. For this event I had Harry's Laptimer going (you can see my phone in the video) to give me real-time data between runs.

What is allowed in B-Street? I have no idea on the rules. LOL Noob!!!

[gomer_110]

Dampers (but not springs), one sway bar (your choice although on our cars it would be the front), CBE, +/-1" wheel diameter but still factory width and offset, and 200TW tires (whatever you can fit on the allowed wheels). That's pretty much it.

what sway bar do you recommend my friend? Im looking to buy the front sway bar but dont know If go with White Line or Hotchkis

[gomer_110]

I run mine in ASP so my setup isn't going to be the best comparison. I know when Street/Stock class ran Hoosiers the Hotchkis bar was the bar or choice. With the move to street tires I'm not sure what the preferred option is now.

My last alignment showed -1.3 on the right and -.7 on the left. I'm thinking about buying a couple used left control arms to see which will yield the most camber.


Related question. My stock endlinks recently went bad. They are still holding but just noisy. The obvious choice would be to upgrade to spl but many people say they can be noisy which I'm not okay with. Has anyone found a more street friendly solution or found a way to make the spl work?

For what its worth the car never gets driven in bad weather so if that's what it takes to keep the spl cherry that's cool.

I've got SPL everything except front upper control arms, haven't noticed any increase in noise

Can you tell me what front upper control arms do you have on your Z? Im making my list on suspension mods hahaha! I know the SPL are great but daaaamn! that price

[xxAGAVExx]

Still stock, I'm saving up for SPL. Depending on your set up you might not need it, if you are dropped and need your camber back to stock then yes you need something, but the only thing I can't get back to stock is camber and I don't want to, I want the additional negative camber, but if I want more negative camber I need some upper control arms.
