Haha yeah man, total Ricky Bobby status! Yeah haha wish I could run it lower, but theres plans for this winter to do a rebuild and tubbage for that reason too. Hopefully I can save up enough dough to do it and replace everything with PBM arms/bars. I like my coils though.
That's great! Can't wait to see Gary's car running right haha. Gotta rep the onevia's. Thanks man, I'm definitely feeling more comfortable in the tandems as we run more already.
I'm still pretty happy about winning but I do know that there's harder competition coming in the near future, so in my efforts to better my driving I'm testing things with the open drift days. I've got enough rubber left to have a few runs I think lol.
What I'm going to try is something of a big crazy topic on here under the roll center thread. My friend Joe (white s14 in pics) Tried this at the event and liked it, gave him more front grip and the car is quicker to respond. The camber plates are actually set to full positive camber, then flipped around so it goes forward and in. I have almost the same negative camber but when I crank the wheels, they stay a lot flatter.
Here's a before pic, notice the right front is barely using not even half of the inner tread,
Here's after, (different direction but same following tire idea)
Lead tire
Camber plates
So far the response of the front is noticeably better, it's noticeable through the steering wheel, not really heavier for say but more feedback I think is the right term. May 15th is the next open drift and i'll be escorting some of the local community college Japanese club students on ride alongs so perfect time to try new stuff haha. I already liked how the car handled but it's worth a try. If anything it's really easy to change so I'll just put it back if I don't like it. For now I'm going to daily it and see.
