Correct.
This is why I try to play in Street/Stock. Much cheaper to max out the allowances and less things to set wrong. Doesn't mean I wont test out several things like a front bar instead at some point, different rear shocks, and different tires when it's needed again though...it's never...
The 2mm can be up to about -0.7 additional* camber, so very worth it.
For autox, I don't see any point in changing brake fluid since there isn't torque vectoring type braking going on. For track use I could see doing that, but I have no plans for this on a track. I only have 1 event so far so...
Correct.
Things you can do legally we haven't mentioned include:
Shift knob
AOS provided it doesn't vent to atmosphere so all emissions function as designed
Brake pads
CG lock (current version doesn't work) or harness
For me the stock shift knob is fine. I might consider an AOS later. Brake...
As of this post, there still isn't a different "camber" bolt option that is legal.
You could do shocks like some of us have done that Chris pioneered. Strano has the solution for those, you have to call. Rears are pretty simple bolt-up affair, fronts require some fabrication.
Otherwise...
Thanks. What matters for SCCA legality in the front is the distance from the perch relative to the strut ear mounting holes and the angles in between. Mainly if they are any taller, if not I'd imagine all other dimensions are the same.
I didn't know about your rear shock solution so I already...
If it's a direct replacement or insert into the original body, yes. The S197s were.
This is why I care if the non-PP struts are identical in dimensions. I'll take a non-PP set, gut them and put race inserts in them from Koni. BMR are the only people I know that have played with both and...
Can you confirm the PP and non-PP shocks are dimensions are the same? I need to know for legality reasons. Specially the front struts.
Thanks for supplying the dyno, very interesting data.
Been autoxing 15 years in just about everything you can imagine. For someone new-ish, you could try leaving the nannies on until you notice them and then do what KZ suggested and turn them off. Gearing is driver and course dependent. Faster courses will require 3rd. My only autox in a S550 I...
Not a derail Des, very relevant since in my mind they are the target in FS. As some of you know, I was on the Street Advisory Committee during the Stock to Street change and this was a car I was concerned with but everyone seemed confident it wasn't an issue and I have no autox seat time in one...
I have a Lotus Exige S I run at track days, occasional autox's, and time trials. Ironically I bought my Mustang to autox in national competition.
I picked my Exige, coming from Z06s to avoid the high running costs. An Elise is a smarter buy and the expenses are much cheaper while still actually...
Did 12 runs in my car today, co-driver got 6. Overall the car isn't bad. I don't think it will beat an E9x M3, but at least it's fun and does what you ask of it. Definitely looking forward to the next event with my RE71Rs installed. I'm afraid to touch much of the alignment/sway bar until that...
I've been missing V8 sounds since I sold the Z06 I got from Danny, so I really want to hear it - the Sequoia didn't count. :)
Good news is I got the passenger side camber done in the front - that air hammer make it so easy. My letters/numbers arrived, and even my Strano rear bar. Bad news is...
Yeah it's pretty quiet inside the car. Which isn't horrible with 1800 miles of driving for Nats but I would like more sound if possible and more weight loss. I'll look into true catbacks over the winter. Corsa is working on a more quiet one, I loved theirs on my Z06 so that's what I will get if...
I got the X Pipe in and the rear Konis. Sound is perfect with the X, it's louder but not too loud at all and perfectly happy cruising with zero drone. Rear Konis ride slightly better than stock, definitely feels like less highspeed compression. Rebound 1 sweep off full soft feels good enough for...
