keep increasing it

 

yeah pretty ****ed up

 

oh an sti is parked next to me at work

 

it will smoke you !!!

 

the only thing it will smoke is the engine under that hood!

 

Founders Harvest Ale should be arriving soon, and Port Brewing has one called High Tide Fresh Hop IPA that is very good as well. These and the Sierra Nevada beers are excellent. The Founders is best of the bunch IMHO.

sorry for the crappy iPhone pic

 

High Tide Fresh Hop IPA is very good, but I can only handle like 3 of them...

Kenny, I've never seem someone scrub in a sidewall as much as you did on sunday. I guess it worked..

 

looks yummy!



















wow that sounded gay

 

i saw it at my place this week, i need to try it.

 

Good morning from Baltimore, Inner Harbor. The talents here are spectacular! I haven't even had my coffee yet, and I'm wide awake!

 

I'm certain sure it hurt my times. You've got mt thinking about the rollover though.

1) i need more negative camber (currently 1.5, assuming the shop didn't lie)
2) my front is lowered, and i have lots of body roll still, which means that
3) I am laying into the bumpstops. (im assuming thats the complete loss of grip i feel)
Finally,
4) i overdrive severely. This is probably why my all-seasons lasted 3/4 of a season. This is improving with each event though.

With my old tires I was running 45+ psi and still getting onto the sidewalls. On the other hand, lower pressures typically provided more grip, when i wasn't pushing too hard.

its seems like a perfect storm of poor setup and poor driving. Hopefully the RCK and an a better alignment will give me a little extra margin on corner exit.

Pete, don't be too mad at me. I'm trying to make good use of these tires

 

I think you have a combination of things going on here. If you are running stock spring rates or "street" spring rates I would invest in a adj. rear sway bar (if you have one already, set it to full stiff prior to running next event (its easy to adjust them at event). If the car has too much body roll stiffer springs would help that, but than you do not need the stiffer rear bar. For now I would just get the bar and alignment if you are on stock or close to stock spring rate. It will make the car rotate better and get rid of some push and rolling the tire sidewall over. Tire pressures we touched on but that is another factor. Last is you, you are probably over driving, late breaking or doing something wrong to cause the front to push and roll the side walls over. Do these changes and bleed those brakes proper and I bet you will see some good results. Guarantee the car will handle much better and then you can work on "YOU", the most important part of Autox....

 

Kenny, is that -1.5 in front? What are you running for the rear? When I had a spring/bilstein setup, I ran -1.8 front, and -1.2 rear. Thats about the max you can push it on stock tophats. I also added a Robispec rsp, but I took it off when I got coilovers. The rsb was magnifent for making the car rotate!

 

nice man
now tell me how the women look.

 

Yup, and 1.2ish rear. Bought camber bolts and hoping to get 2.5. My springs are swift spec-r's, so i think they are about as stiff a street spring i can get.

Mike, I was thinking of a front bar actually. My logic was that is the front had less roll and more grip then the rear would come around a bit more. Especially under acceleration.

I dont feel that the rear tires lack grip, and that putting a stiffer bar on the rear would only reduce the grip they produce ... hence the increase in oversteer.

what are your thoughts about this?
