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 |

Just remember that even street tires degrade with time. You're doing really well right now. Is the money to buy new tires now and then another set for next year? If not, then you have to decide if it better to beat the guys now as a novice or wait until next year and beat that Lotus. If you buy the tires now, they may have degraded too much for next year. hehehe welcome to AX!

But that is racing isn't it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Next year I can hope that my Jeep and my motorcycle don't both need tires again like they do this year! |
