74, stock 2.0, stock front swaybar - no rear bar, stock front inserts, may mount an older set of adjustable Koni's I already have on the back, either way 100 lb springs, 195/65 Eagle GT's.
Looking to have fun, not too worried about much else, but I have a few basic setup questions: I'm going to chalk the tires, but what pressure should I start at? Full tank, half tank or empty tank? Spare tire in or out? The konis need to be adjusted out of the car - soft, medium or firm (keep in mind I will have to live with it on NH streets too)? Should I overfill the oil a bit? If so how much? What am I missing? Thanks, Scott |

Came in 3rd in the novice group today.
I aired down the tires quite a bit. With the lower pressure I could feel the sidewalls squriming but it seemed to have more traction. There wasn't any evidence of the tire rolling under.... There is an Dodge Stealth twin turbo AWD that is about a second ahead of me. I don't think I can catch him on the tires I'm on. Next race isn't until June 2nd. After I was done, I did take some rides with other members in their cars - I could do that all day, what a blast! Attached image(s) |
