^^^I think it's the new harness Chris ^^^

 

No, no, it's the new Time Attack Volks.

John, what did it do that made you revert back? How did get the pig to finally rotate the way you wanted without it? BTW great driving last week-end .

 

The car was too stable and pushy. It wouldn't turn for me. I swapped some springs and changed the alignment a bit, now it suits my driving style much better. I like lots of lift-throttle rotation (I drive with the gas pedal big time, no LFB for me).

 

stupid question here....



does anyone plan on buying the evo x and campaigning it in STU in 2008?

 

Yes, only if it is offered with a M/T initially.

 

I was concerned about the high tire pressures but, I am gathering the info from a pyrometer. Unless I am mistaken, shouldn't the inside temperatures be 10 to 15 degrees hotter than the outer temperature? I have used this to determine tire pressures.

Maybe I am just doing something wrong but, per a Longacre pyrometer those higher pressures are what is need to get the 10 to 15 degree difference. I am by no means an expert at this, as I am only in my 2nd full season, 3rd season overall.

The other thing I should mention is that I am currently running Robispec'd KW Variant 3 Club Sports. I wanted to get Zzyzx's setup but they were not ready last year when I was in the market.

 

Wait a minute, IIRC Warminster is concrete right? If so then the 40psi makes sense then.

 

Yeah it is, I forgot about that but, at Boeing I'm still running high temps, however, that could be due to such a small tight course. I've been thinking of maybe uping my spring rates some. Now I'm running 9k F 8k R.

 

New to STU

Are MBC allowed?
Are After market cams allowed?

Thanks

 

No.
No.
That would put you in BSP or SM.

 

Cams are a no-no in STU and BSP, though in BSP you can play with cam timing (i.e., cam gears) and add a MBC.

 

What are some of the most optimal ways to squeeze power and performance out of these cars and stay STU legal?

 

Go back and read my #1 post in this thread. It's all there.

Cliff's notes:

3" turbo-back exhaust without 90degree bends (Perrin, Buscher)
Ported stock exhaust manifold (PPI)
high flow cataylitic converter (Perrin, Richard Jung custom made, APS)
02 housing (ebay)
a dyno tune from a reputable vendor (CBRD, CBRD, CBRD, Jester, Sean Ivey, Buscher, CBRD or AMS) No boost control at all, just timing, air-fuel, MIVEC tuning.

See my signature for the best of the best peeps to do business with.

 

Does the AMS exhaust qualify?
I have been getting mixed messages about the O2 housing and expected performance numbers.
What about an air intake? Does that make sense?
