I had a long hit out with the tyres today. I put 36psi into them warm, not hot or cold.

A regular round-a-about that I use that is a little off camber, I can normally circle it at 50kph. But today I was hitting 65kph and was able to control the rear using lift off oversteer. Which caught me by surprise to be totally honest the 1st time. 2nd time around I was more ready. And it was very easy to do so.

I'm curious as to how this will effect the handling at 100kph or more? Will I need a big gay GT wing?

dont get a gay wing PLEASE
just loosen off your rear strut bars a little, it should make heaps of difference. a 1/8th of a turn on both sides should allow a little more lat pivot in the struts and should prevent liftoff. i cant get my rear to lift of at all, if u remember back to skidpad, cus i dont have a rear brace at all so the top is free to flex with the body :D

with my 18s fitted, i cannot make the rear end break free.

oh :o
i stil think that losening it a little will work :D

:( coilovers or just some decent springs/struts combo?

project.r.racing 01-07-2009 09:02 PM

just found out the BC coilovers do not come with camber adjustable front tops for a ba astina. uber gay... no shopping for something else.

70NYD 02-07-2009 09:29 AM

can u use the camber plates from the D2?

project.r.racing 02-07-2009 06:34 PM

BC coilovers are a definate NO for now. They have no kits available with pillow ball camber adjustable top. Only rubber ones. And they have no interest in developing them as their isn't a market for it.

Yes!!! Get the Biggest, Gayest wing you can find and then you'll comand respect. Something at least another cars height above the roof line and a good 30cm sticking out either side.

PFFT! Could you imagine!:p

brought 2 1kg fire extinguishers thursday night. 2 for 1 deal.

pick up 2 stocko front seats (series 3) tomorrow.

pick up new engine next week.

project.r.racing 27-07-2009 05:09 PM

picked up 2 2nd hand front seats. drivers is a little twisted which i'm dissapointed about. the rails look fine though. didn't realize it until i got home. seller is 90mins drive away. but i'll just swap the newer backrest with the original seat. passenger seat is perfect.

so i'll probably have some rails up for sale soon.
