Scooby, did you change out the bolts yet for a better alignment? I'm surprised the camber was so different corner to corner. And the toe settings.... *sigh*

Also, with the turn-down...its hard to tell exactly where it is compared to the bodywork. I've heard of miatas having similar setups and the exit is too close to the plastic panels causing serious meltage. Be careful!

Braunsen has a FP evo. Was he running it? Based on your times vs his i would assume he switched to a sts car, i would have thought hed have a bigger raw spread than 2 seconds in FP. If not, kudos!!

He musta broke then... Car is a Blast... Sooooo Balanced... on the Stock Suspension...a 16 mm WRX bar is perfect..predictable.....the rear end steps out...and actually helps the car rotate....its an awesome feeling..

.. my co-driver felt a little more comfortable on the RS3's that I did... I havn't run a RWD Street tire car in LONG time.. went for it on the last run... had it going til I got a bit of Snap oversteer and swaked a cone...oh well...FUN FUN FUN... The power is good to a point... more times than none I felt I was ahead of the car on Throttle and response... and the Car was ahead of me on handling... it definitely is a drivers car...soooo smooth... and precise...goes pretty much where you point it... but the flat spot in the powerband hurts it tremendously..:/ if it came on the power a bit earlier..its would be an automatic contender in STR or STX ... even on the stock suspension... the only thing we changed was the rear bar.... the 19mm made it to twitchy..

I'm subbed for updates!

What's the "P" for? Also, coming from timing and scoring, please don't do white on white!

I'm guessing the P doesn't actually make a difference to them though. Probably for prototype or something like that since the car can't actually compete yet, right?

*Nevermind looked at the results, I'm thinking "Pro-Index." You really should get a color other than white, the havok it can cause in timing and scoring is a pain. I understand that they may do things a little differently where you are though.

Nice of you co-driver to out-drive you.

Its not white...its the angle...its actually 'aluminum' color...and shows up fine from the very side..

... and Yes Pro index.. My Co-driver has more experience that I do on Street Tires...He felt a little more comfortable that I did, since I havn't run Street Tires since like 2003... Pretty much been on R'comps since... so It will take some time to get used to..I did go for on my last run...but Swacked a cone and got a bit off line..Vids and pics are downloading as we speak..

..I am glad that my co-driver found the limits...now I know where I need to be as the driver... Didn't do to bad with Stockish suspension...*Rear Bar and links and Tires and wheels...thats it..

Any pictures of it in a steadystate corner? and which rear bar you had on it at the time?

Scooby South · 06-11-2012, 01:41 PM

BTW forgot to ask do you have the TRD Door Stabilizer ? Is it worth the money?

Would love to see the review of the sway bar what brand is it ?

Sccabrz192 · 06-11-2012, 02:21 PM

Looks like on r comps there may be potential to lift the inside rear. Its got more dive than i thought it would, really unloads the rear tires, not good for torsen lsd. We'll have to keep an eye on that.

Cool pictures! Thanks for sharing!
