The abs works fine most of the time. Just every once in awhile... randomly, they'd lock. I tried multiple compounds and made sure everything was clean and we'll maintained... no idea what caused it. Trust me, I did tons of research. Any course that required a brake stomp would make me super timid.

Yes you are correct, I should have been more specific. Actually my SPL end links for up front just showed up a few days ago.

Second place at the ET Pro. Still plenty to do to get the car dialed in, and myself dialed in to it-

awesome driving. Balance of the car seems really good. It seems like car has a much better control during over steer vs. street class 370Z.. It seemed like more easy to control vs the snappy oversteer in stock/street form. Can't wait to see how it does next!!!

In Street trim I was pretty happy with the balance. Ran Hankook RS3v2 front, v1 rear. The v2s were fine at room temp, the v1s needed heat - so the car would go from loose to understeer over the course of a run. That's some of what you see in my Street-class videos from last year - that, and I had just bought the car and was still getting used to it. Having a 305 out back sure was sweet!
Now in STR am down to 255s (245s at the Pro, all I could get in the Bridgestones). In San Diego things were a mess. Some of that was the surface, some was the tires, a lot was the driver, but the setup was off too. I think the car was pushing a ton on entry, which I wasn't picking up on. I was over-turning the wheel, so the car would quickly get loose on the power. The move to better tires and a better surface helped a lot between SD and the ET Pro, but so did changing the setup to something more neutral. For the next event I plan to stiffen the rear bar (to free it up in steady-state) stiffen rear bump and rebound (to help liven it up a bit in transition and entry) soften front bump (try to keep from overloading the front tires on entry and getting into a push) and stiffen front rebound (to keep the transitionnal balance from getting out of hand). Spring rates will be leaving alone at 1100front, 700rear. The quaife has been great thus far. A clutch type would only be making the problems I'm already dealing with, worse - even if it might be the slightly faster ultimate solution. The big front bar in street cut down most of the inside wheelspin, but even in a non-wheelspin situation, there is definitely something to be said for how a real diff distributes torque, vs a viscous or open diff. Also have a couple electronics tweaks in mind which I believe should improve the car's lift throttle and trail-braking behavior. |
