Sounds good to me Mike. Just what John needs for his premiere, two old farts giving him pearls of wisdom! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) How have you been? Still waiting for my car to come back from paint. Planning on giving Trekkor some pointers next season....hopefully I won't be visiting with Chet during a session (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) That would be poor form.

Trekkor,
Our Sears date is the end of February. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) Not much we can do about it...tuff to get a weekend at Sears these days. Hopefully we will get in 2 dry days...you never know. Last year it rained off and on all day Saturday so everyone got to practice their impressions of Hans Stuck. Sunday was dry until time for timed runs. Oh well. Check the GGR website. The TT dates and Ground school dates are posted for next season along with the free Tech dates. www.pca-ggr.org |

KT,
Remember Laguna has a 92db noise limit. I cannot remember how loud your car is. I am planning on being there the 30th. If we get in the same group you can follow me for a lap or two. Not sure if passengers are allowed, but if we are in different groups maybe I can take you for a ride as I did at Sears. Ken |

Ken, that would be fantastic.
I've been resisting lowering my tire pressures as you have. But, the lower I run them, the better they stick and the closer they get to optimum operating temps. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) I started at 37PSI. Ran 'em at 35 last week. Didn't you say you set them at 30 PSI, cold or something low like that? Thanks... KT |

Good job Trekkor. You have some nice lines in most of the corners. Hope to run with you some day.

Ran the tire pressure test at Thunder Hill and last month at Sears. Both results the same.
Best performance - V710 28 pounds cold. Your car is slightlt heavier so maybe a bit higher. There is no hurry so take your time and change the pressure between runs. When you find it, it will be obvious. Ken |

I guess I will just have to run both of you down with my lowly Victoracers. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
What kind of pressures were you running on those Ken? The last tires I had on a 914 were yoko A032Rs and we ran them very low. Like 25 cold. 28 Hot. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) How are the Kumhos with negative camber. What camber are you running on your car Ken, Trekkor? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/hijacked.gif) sorry |

V700 ran 34-35 cold
Front = -1.75 - all I could get Rear = -2.0 - all I could get Caster = 6 Front toe - as close to 0 as possible(flat towing), but now with the trailer I may try some toe out Rear toe - just so I could detect some toe-in maybe 0.03" or less difference across the rim. The rear toes have to be as close as possible to the same, otherwise the car will not track. Ken |

thanks Ken.
Mark at Sportech has some special specs. for alignments. (actually they are Ken Mack's specs) I am going to try to get -2 front and -3 rear. we will see. I am also going to try to get my car as low as possible without screwing up the geometry. I have Bilsteins for the rear and am going to try to set it up with the adjustable spring perch at the #1 or 2 ring from the bottom. we will see. I cant remember where I had the rear Bils set on my 914-6. I know it was very low. I am planning on running Koni adjustables on the front. I am not running an adjustable bar at this time so I need some adjustability. 21 MM torsion bars. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) |

Fun video Trekkor! I had some fomula car guys do what that white SC did when I drove Infineon. I learned very quickly to back off and then run at them through the corner and onto the straights. When I did that I pretty much passed at will with all but the fastest guys.
Cant wait to drag my piece of junk onto the track. What are criteria for people at the trackmasters events? Is it pretty much tech, get an instructor and run? |
