Diary of a Madman; TitaniumTT's see you @ DGRRXI RE-REbuild

WE3RX7 · 10-13-2010, 09:14 PM

Meh - I'm thinking you need a 7spd and another 30hp. Those videos aren't enough to get the feel for it, guess you'll need to store the car at my place for a few months and think about it....

It really is, the 4.3 rear helps alot as well. Even when I was running the stock trans the 4.3 helped a bunch, especially in 4th and 5th. I love the ratio's, they are perfect. Need to dial in the front suspension a little more. What are you running Johnson? And what are your auto-x alignments like? Hoping to make another event this weekend

I am looking for a place to store the girl for 3+ months starting around Decemnber..... but I may have to take the MoTeC with me

I'm not running anything spectacular - 4.10 S4 TII rear, S5 TII trans. The auto-x's around here are typically 2nd gear courses and I've bounced of the red only a few times. I ran -2deg on the old car, and maybe -1 in the rear. I left the caster and toe alone at factory specs.

New car is getting a corner balance and alignment suited to road courses. I might change only a few things when I take it to an auto-x, but that's about it.

I'm not too concerned with fine adjustments yet, gotta work on my driving skills first, haha. I've come a long way since 5 years ago, that's for sure

Cool, thanks. I generally run a little more camber in the front, and a touch toe out front and rear.

What spring rates are you running and what for a sway bar? It seems as if my car is plowing a little.....

The courses around here are a little tighter. There are some you can get away with in first if your rev limit is high enough. I'll be interested to see what I can do this weekend if I can get the time off.

MaczPayne · 10-15-2010, 03:07 PM

I'm running no rear swaybar and the factory TII up front, as well as 8k F/ 6k R rates. I had good traction coming out of corners and turn-in was pretty good. This is of course just my impression haha.

Nothing a haltech can't fix

***TitaniumTT*** · 10-15-2010, 11:07 PM

Yeah, and actually, haltech is trying so hard that they are actually using the same ECU connectors as MoTeC now...... take the driveshaft?

WE3RX7 · 10-17-2010, 08:43 AM

I've got extra T2 shaft and tranny, lol... wont take but an hour to swap that back in there, lol....

You wouldnt want it just sitting for 3 months anyway... somebody would need to get in it, run it through the gears every few hours

2gslse · 10-17-2010, 06:04 PM

Count me in for torture testing too!!! maybe we can start the ignition coil testing while Brian is away. We may as well leave the car at my house since I don't have an FC to clutter up my driveway.

What's the deal, no room for it?

2gslse · 10-19-2010, 02:49 AM

last year he had the bright idea of taking the car apart for restoration at thanksgiving and be ready for DGRRX but had too many other projects on his plate to finish it on time
