I know there are many ways to skin a cat, but 600lb fronts, stock front swaybar at a 1-1 motion ratio with the wheel AND another swaybar at (what looks like) a .5-1 motion ratio sounds like a crapton of non-compliant front wheelrate. I have seen Wills car run and it did seem (outwardly) to...

Same wheelbase for the escort and the protege? How odd. Even with the GD chassis for the 626/mx6 the chassis was shortened 2" for the coupe. Thats pretty cool though that you done get a "long wheelbase" penalty. whoa....Does AWR have the individual pieces for those endlinks. I see a project to...

Unless I miss my mark, Wills Escort had a shorter wheelbase than the sedan you have. You may find that with that difference and the fact that you will be running R-compounds (much more so than Will ran) you might want/have to change those ratios a bit Will had a post on RR-AX about what you are...

Makes perfect sense to me. Just throwing out some suggestions to an in-process build. Gavin

And I agree, but my suggestion was for the PASSENGER seat, not as a replacement for the drivers seat ;) In other words, unless theres some pressing reason to have a $250+ seat in the passenger side(which does nothing but sit there), Id rather use something else rules compliant/cheaper and...

Hey Justin. Not sure how attached you are to that momo passenger seat, but........... http://store.summitracing.com/egnsearch.asp?N=700+4294925230+4294839019+4294915209+115+301738&autoview=sku They are 10lbs and cheap. There is also a seat cover that can be bought with them(think they were...

Ill be at El Toro. Have to make up for the absolute disaster of a 2nd day at the divisionals. Jeff..check the local SFR forum site(http://www.baautox.com/forum/index.php?t=thread&frm_id=11&rid=19&S=423c8e598d349a350bc6e9db0782b7fe). Theres tons of really great pictures of your car. Gavin

Good advice. I was in the same boat as well and found that writing things down got my thoughts in order...streamlined the order of what needed to be bought/done/gotten, etc. Just remember....5/10/15 min a day and it *will* get done. I promise :) What bushings will you be using for the rear of...

Odd, I wonder how Will Kalman cleared the setup on his car. I think I remember him using Bill Schenkers(sp) 13" panasports at the SD tour. Maybe they have extra clearance bulit into them? expensive? http://www.949racing.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=5&HS=1 (The BG is 4x100 bolt...

I hear you on the bumpy courses(we have one thats cracked chassis and broken many a SP/Prep/mod car....they dont show up much there), but dont sell the car short for a compromise on rough courses. Bah..damn the adjuster tool and full speed ahead! Dont wimp out on the engineering because of the...

I have to admit, I had to read this a couple times before I got the gist of it. So you want the rear struts to extend further downwards(more rear droop effectively). Is this really a concern on the rear of the car? I could see this as an issue for the front (high roll angle, full droop on the...

I havent had breakfast yet so Im just thinking on the fly with this... but am I hearing this right? you plan to use 13"s in the rear, 15"s in the front and keep the chassis ride height level(as if you were using equal diameter tires front/rear). If thats so, it sounds kinda weird from a chassis...

You know, If that picture was big enough I could almost see the apex of that corner...you know, where the car should have been :P Gavin (oh snap)

No, although thats a good fit for the older 88-92 MX6s (fronts of course). I was speaking about the rear of the car. Cusco has a set of plates thats buried in their catalogue that seems to fit the rear of the 93-97 MX6 and all the subsequent chassis that were based off its suspension namely the...

Cusco also has a rear adjustable camber plate that fits the newer proteges as well. Gavin

Has to be turn 5 at Thunderhill reversed (clockwise) Gavin

Dan is very capable in that civic. They ran in similar conditions and were that fast. DSP was a bunch of cone smacking mo-fos...I think I was the worst offender. Im pretty pleased with how things went down. I was extremely rusty from not driving for a while and simply didnt adjust fast enough...

Ill see you Friday. Gavin

I doubt youll have much to worry about. The car is green. Ill have this weekend to shake it down basically. As for me, I havent driven in months(since august?) since Ive been working on getting the car done. There will be plenty of rust to shake off. Gavin
