Title: Getting suspension working Post by: adrian on November 12, 2009, 20:50:02 pm Finally made it into the 12s with a best of 12.87@104. Running m and h DOTs, IRS rear, beam front. 60 foots are around 1,85 - 1,9.
Currently I have dropped spindles on the front, 90/10 shocks, stock rear end barring T2 CVs, 944 stubs. I ran 18lbs in the dots, launched at about 4k. Am I being realistic in thinking there are a couple of tenths in the 60ft ? 1.6 ish ? Was not really pushing hard in the burnout, just 1st gear. Still needs a lot of tuning work - dyno in a couple of weeks. Heres a video of it launching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uhXMB7oxf4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uhXMB7oxf4) Title: Re: Getting suspension working Post by: PPRMicke on November 12, 2009, 22:33:10 pm What size are you on the torsion bars in the rear?
Ride heights on the car rear? I often have 1-1.1 / 2 degree angle on the car as a basic setup Best regard Michael Title: Re: Getting suspension working Post by: adrian on November 13, 2009, 01:15:51 am Stock Bars
Axles are about level at rest (probably a bit low)' I was thinking going back to stock spindles and lifting the rear slightly would help with weight transfer and getting the tyres to stick. Title: Re: Getting suspension working Post by: PPRMicke on November 14, 2009, 12:12:38 pm Hi
If you watch the video at 0:15 you can see how the car is not moving weight You may have problems with the clutch to the wheels lose traction /// Micke Title: Re: Getting suspension working Post by: Steve D. on November 14, 2009, 21:03:55 pm M&H D.O.T.'s ROCK! Burn them in second in the waterbox- I usually just go until I can see the smoke in the side view mirror, still probably more than necessary. Virtually same setup as your car except no 90/10's, just stock shocks and the first time I went out with them the car went mid 1.6's all day at 18psi- just be sure your gearbox is up to the task because these WILL HOOK!
Have fun! |
