75 Track Day Videos

Damn dude, I like your specs all around. How is the ride with the large torsion bars? Are you really using a stock front sway bar?

His car looks to have minimal roll. Maybe we should do the roll center relocation as well.

I second that Bernard. A camera mount is like $50, well worth it to show off what all that hard work does for lap times!

Z,

You mean the modification on the watt's linkage? I think they lower the pivot point on the watts, which makes the RC lower. That should make the car roll more in the back I think. Also, I think at the ride height you're running right now, you should be OK w/o it, no? Modified Dedion is up next once I'm satisfied with being able to turn-in easily enough. Never ending battle really, as once I do the rear, I'm likely to be understeering again - at much greater velocities of course =)

Yes I am still using a stock front sway and I'm not going to change it anytime soon

Having a bigger rear sway and standard front sway helps offset the weight of the V6 motors and makes the car turn nicer. I was speaking with Ron about this aswell and his findings are also similar.

And yes the rear roll center mod is lowering the pivot point of the watts, and the front uprights raise the roll center.

The ride with the larger torsion bars is excellent, I used to run my Koni's on full strength which made it harsh but back a knotch as per Benincas recommendations (and my konis were badly damaged from it) make it very very nice for how stiff it is, even on the ****ty roads where I live.

I used to run an in-car camera but the vibrations killed it, I don't want to try it with my new camera but I may start using the helmet cam again as it doesnt get the vibration effect

Btw the car puts down 171rwkw, or 230rwhp. And yes it sounds great
