    Video/Results from Milwaukee 5/31/10

    http://www.waiautox.org/2009/event%204_fin.htm As most of you know, normally I run a 2000 ZX2 S/R in ST, but yesterday logistics did not work out with my co-owner/driver...and with my needing to take my kids to my sister-in-laws, I ended up runing my completely stock daily-driven 2007 6i in HS...

    HotBits--anyone have experience/feedback

    Craig and I are thinking about a suspension makeover for the ZX2/BG. We have SA Konis (Yellows with OTS valving converted from Reds) with GC sleeves. 550/390 rates. Car has some forward bite issues on corner exit...so the thought is to up front rate (650ish) and reduce FSB by about 1.5mm...

    ZX2 (BG chassis 'step-child') ST action--Milwaukee 9009 event 1

    This is my co-driver in action. He took all his runs in heat 1 in the day to be able to leave early; it rained about 5 minutes before I got my first run in heat 3...so for me the day was a washout... and the new header-back system...Custom 2.25" Header-Back Exhaust for ZX2 racer...

    How low (BG)?

    Our car (STS ZX2) is set up so that the front control arms are parallel to the ground. We have a bunch of people say that the car looks like it could go lower...but I have heard that the handling suffers once the LCAs go past parallel. Is this somethiung that is a legitimate concern...or is it...

    STS ZX2 update: WAI#6 2nd place!

    http://www.waiautox.org/2008/wai%202008%20event%206_fin.htm#STS The car is finally working pretty well--we've definately found 'the setup'...or at least close. It took us about 5 events and 30 runs to get there. Now it'll just be minor adjustments and learing the limits of the car. It's too...

    Milwaukee NT--making lemonaide out of lemons

    We had a great T&T on Friday--I took only 4 runs and was delighted on how the ZX2 felt. It was 'free' but not stupid loose. Adding the 100 pounds of spring rate to the front was definately a step in the right direction. It rained on us like a mo-fo on Saturday morning...especially early on...

    BG RSB's: is there a request for anything different?

    I have a means of perhaps getting to market a limited number of rear sway bars for the BG chassis. My question is: What would you like to see? Would 15/16 (24 mm) with 3-way adjustments (via heim joints at the bar and bushings at the LCA) be too big??? 7/8 (22.3 mm) is pretty close to the...

    BG in STS

    Last Sunday, out of the box, our ZX2 was running with cars that were about 30th at Nationals last year. We managed this on OTS Tokico/Ford S/R front stuts with our GC coilovers...because last Wednesday we had to send one of our custom Koni fronts off to Ohio for a vacation (rebuild) at...

    BG (ZX2) wheel offsets

    The car came to me on 14" steelies; the previous owner ran Falken et42, 15x7 Hanabis...which were stolen just before I got the car from Des. What offset should I be looking for on 7.5" wheels for the ZX2? My understanding is that inner (strut) rubbing on the rear is the biggest concern with...

    BG bushing swap

    I am prepping a ZX2 S/R for STS (this is the former Des Toups car from Seattle). I have the full set of poly bushings that came with the car and am curious as to how much of a PITA this job will be. Do the sock bushings need to be torched out, or can they be drilled/cut.

    16" Mazda6 Wheels

    Picking up new 2007 6i next week. Need winter wheels by 11/01...steelies would be fine, but would consider cheap alloys as well. Located in Wisconsin.
