It's that time or year, again Options

[J P Stein]

It's become some kinda tradition around here.....these things just happen, me thinks..... If it's Thanksgiving weeked, it's time
to jack up the shitbox and start my 5th annual Winter Project (it may be 4th or 6th...I've lost track) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

Anyone in the area is welcome to come over and turn some wrenches or finish off the beer in my fridge and watch me turn em'. 4 days of dicking around interupted by only by pigging out on turkey....and maybe a nap or 2 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

LSD... nice! Try adding just the rear bar before you make any further suspension mods (after you installed the LSD) What t-bars are you running now (and what are you planning to get)

At the moment I am running 21 mm T bars. Getting is prolly
the wrong term as (near as I can tell) the only thing smaller available is the stock 17.9mm T-bar. *If* I decide to do do this, I'll get my present bars turned (or ground) down to 19.5-20mm. I know I could go the 911 A arms to get more chioces, but I have too much work into my present ones to round file them.

My thinking:
I am still fighting understeer. Unless I interceede, the car pushes on corners with about 60ft radius and less .....which is about max radius for our venues locally. Of course, it goes into snap oversteer on large radius turns.....but I catch most those (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I get no heat in the front tires. I have tried the car on a 60 ft radius skid pad & and after 2-4 laps, the fronts get hot and the whole car reacts differently....suddenly, I have enuff grip to bounce my haid off the cage (that hurts, BTW) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif).

Conventional wisdom says soften the front for more front grip and soften the springs for rough tarmac....of which we have acres. My AR bar has been set at full soft for a couple years now, so no help there. Softer springs will allow the AR bar to *actually be adjustable*.....what a concept.

I'm also thinking of smaller width front tires & wheels.
My plan of softer front tires went out the window in my conversation with Mr. Fordahl. My car is too heavy to use Formula Atlantic skins. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

The car will get tryout with the LSD before I commit to a rear bar.

Anyone with better (or any) ideas is welcome here.
