3 runs & over by noon or what?

 

4 runs by noon and a nice long fun run session.

 

We did get a decent amount of runs,
(4 in the morning, plus 30 minutes of fun runs)
But when I pay for a day of Autocross, I want a full day.
I don't like packing up and heading out at 1 or 2.

I get pissed when we start late and leave early.
If that is your mind set, to "get this over with", then stay home.

Oh, Did anyone notice that PCA and BMW both have events planned for 10-22?

 

4 runs in the first 2 heats, then i got 5 fun runs in the afternoon.

I think I'm going to try the next event without the R-sway bar I got the front set up dialed in but the rear is so stiff that if I push it too hard I get massive oversteer, hence the reason I pulled off some drift moves and then spun out like a RWD The negative camber made a big difference too. I do need some stickier tires though, mine are done for now.

 

which bar do you have? most of them are adjustable, move the brackets closer together to reduce the effect of the rear bar. my no bar car was oversteering on that surface with 43psi front 38psi rear so keep that in mind as grip increases as does body lean hence the need for more roll resistance. (now my springs and rear beam are stiffer then your stock stuff was but only by 20%) what works on zeypherhills will not work on concrete. I was getting so much more cornering grip even at Z-hills my car was slamming from side to side. more then it was transisitioning. thhis is partly why even with the increased grip of the new tires I was not much faster then I usual. I could use more -camber too. the outside edges of my tires are showing the effects. and the rear tires are only worn in the middle 2/3 so I'm gonna lower pressures and try and get some Legal camber. or some bolts for when I run Non-SCCA events.

 

I have the Progress RSB which is not adjustable unfortunatley. What I'll do is leave the RSB on, and see how the car responds to the new Falken Azenis RT-615's I just ordered Those Nitto Neo Gens are definitely for street use only But I had to get my use out of them. I cant wait to get the Falken Azenis next week.

 

I SO TOLD YOU NOT TO RUN THE REAR BAR

i did good on the left side at zhills, such soft suspension and street Ziex tires, but on the rest i slid and sucked more

but shouldn't the swaybar keep it together untill you let off?
i thought that was the concept behind lift throttle over,

and if you get the front would it balance you out?

 

The Azenis should help out a lot as far as grip. Once I get em on, I'll try my next event with the RSB and just to it. Im still learning my car thought.

 

Not really, The rear bar is going to transistion more of the weight in any cornering to the oppisite side/end. your just going to notice it more during snap oversteer. actually he could techinaly acheive the same handling balance with springrate and damper changes. the reason for a swaybar is you can still keep a reasonable springrate for comfort and the bar will plant the oppisite end.(and a bar can be adjusted in mins. not hours). so YES changing the front bar will settle down the rear a bit. however his biggest problem is not body roll. I noticed little to no body roll on course, he might be oversprung in the rear when it gets snappy try softening up the dampers in the rear. that should allow the spring to plant better and follow the road instead of hopping over it.

actually I'm thinking that a swaybar is more a waste of weight in our cars then anything.. with an indy rear it is attached to the chassis and helps transfer weight to the front, ours just stiffens up the twist beam, which an ingenious person could do with a few beads of weld.

The worst thing you can give a driver is somthing he can change. inevitabaly it will become the settings fault and NEVER the driver. (It's human nature) That is why I like stock class.. shocks and tire pressures. that's it. nothing else to change I can concentrate on not driving like a jerk.

 

Hey, I did notice you actually had a decent 1.7 or so degrees of negative camber on the front of your car.. I was under the impression the camber was not adjustable on the B15 k-sports. that's one of the things that concerned me. If I went with the K-sport I'm curious if we will need roll center adjustment.
