Do you have a live axle car or dedion? A higher final drive number will mean better acceleration and therefore you will have LESS speed in a certain gear. Nobody will carry a pumpkin with the LSD and R&P built in. Yes, the ring gear is interchangable. I've been looking for a LSD for a long time but cant seem to find one at a reasonable price. I believe a LSD will really transform the car because the rear end is so light.

 

 

 

So you have the bilsteins? Are your swaybars adjustable? Were both the R compounds and FF slicks all the same size? Did you play with tire pressures?

my secondhand knowledge has told me that the LSD would most benficial on an IRS car. even teh deDion setup doesn't allow the LSD to function well on such a light car, experience w/ the car car breaking loose is going more helpful. since thats what i was told, thats worth less than 2 cents.

maybe the better final drive is desired so he's not cruising at 3500-4000rpm on the highway? i would have suggested building up the engine for a higher redline to increase top speed in gear.

edit: Danny, where was saturday's event? at first I thought u were talking about sunday, but didn't see u listed in teh results.

more camber?

as for the diff, call the Aldermans, Chip Bond, or Ben at CatUSA and get an accurate answer. It may be an interchangable ring gear.

and i'll be staying local.

meeting up in the AM

1085, 1/2 tank fuel. No hank, no other aerodynamically enhanced people either.

sorry to hear about this. the car is non-irs correct?

^^^^

yeah, does this include self ballasting?

Phiadelphia SCCA is having a trial event at the Wachovia Center. Limit is 150 cars, lot demensions are ~1250' x 450'.

Philly SCCA forum thread

anyone interested?

What where you people on in the 60's?

...

sound like u need to play catch up :chillpill:

Next up on my list to follow is Jack !!!!!! LOL

uh oh. jack won't like knowing he's to be cursed. maybe u follow me instead?

and Snake Bit starts up today and gets driven into work.

unbeleivable.:toetap05:

yes, just 3 nights of 2 x 1 hour epsiodes.

I did like 93's outfit and room decor. there were some minor homages to the original series. we'll see where the next 2 nights go.

Lovely weather at the end of the weekend made up for the lousy friday and saturday. Bill Thomas was an excellent host and many thanks to Atwell for organizing today. Great seeing jack, jen, Mike, and Steve again, plus meeting Ron.

The scheduled drive should definitely be fun a second time, and I plan to look and see if i can recreate the detour that Mike and I took. His Crackberry really saved the day with the delay on 80. My GPS' final gesture was to get 3 cars righted correctly northbound on 209!

he crashes into teh water fountain in FRONT of HIS house?!!!?

how do u crash an '09 Ford. a 1909 Ford.

i hope there is a major change at teh end that saves it. I can imagine a good one. Thankfully, the changes will not diminish the original series in my eyes!

u should be fine. or not. maybe i should test it out for u at an event next year.

i always have CELs from teh auto ECU in a 5MT car. The red light is always on and I take that as the key is at least in the accesory position on the ignition switch. i do not have a CEL light in teh dash.

appears to be 205 50 15, spec miata size since they are going back to the RA1.

if anyone local is planning on them. let me know. i may want to split a set if ur up for it since i would want 225 45 15 on the rear.

Ben told me that after the R500 was tested by the car mags, it wld be for sale for around $70K. Given the plunging $, that is probably not a bad price.

:auto:

not sure. if the lighted push buttons have some durability to them, i think there have been early issues, it may be worth it.

or Birkin w/ IRS thats Raceline/Ammo powered may be the better option. i'd love to see a 5 way head to head w/ a US spec CSR 260, r500, FM Westfied, Birkin IRS, and Randy Chase's Toniq venture.

what will your dollars buy u new?:party:

uggg. if your friend would be satisfied w/ teh boxter/cayman shape she will save herself money and headaches compared to older 911s. i'd love to have a 911SC or RS(even a swapped 914) but 30-40 year old cars are a passion that needs to be had at the knees up to grease and oil level.

probably be easier to fit in a WCM. Hyundai had to do a bunch of work changing the orientation from tranverse w/ an AWD transmission to a longtudinal orientation w/ a rwd box. many of the EVO X modification don't work on the Genesis 2.0t.

it is a very nice car for the money. absolutely overweight, but very fun w/ simple mods.

Jon, i can totally sympathize. I got thru it w less damage than u did. just be thankful that the end of the season is upon us so u can fix the arm and not lose excellent driving weather in the process.

really? mine is a straight tube w/ a small radius turn. i beleive Orange's was as well til the raceline water rail was installed. many others too, thats why I think its a new design. Its the rubber S connecter hose that really caught my attention.

hmmm, new shape of piping for the cooling system. Most previous models had a large straightpipe.
