3 wheels?

[Hick]

Its fun. Flares = time and some money. The car was built to drive, not look pretty :)

You can say that again!

I have ridden in this car a few times. Its scary fast.

Hmmm,
A RWD car that lifts the inner front wheel in a corner is 100% sure that the rear wheels are on the ground providing grip because they are (including the outer front wheel) in the same level.
Also the inner front wheel doesnt provide sufficient (if any) grip.

See some F1 hard cornering (braking or accelerating) and you ll see that the inner front wheel, in most cases, is lifted.

This is not due to bad suspension, but in many occasions, this is the goal.

DEFINITELY looks good though.

Agree 100%%. I'd REALLY like to see datalogging showing how much weight an inside front carries....I'd give up on trying to keep that wheel on the road....Not worth the efforts IMO. It isn't doing much work anyway. (if you somehow did tune the car to not lift a tire)

Well I do know for a fact getting your car up on 3 like that can really tweak your chassie with the extra loading. I bent mine when I had my strut tower brace out by over 1* of camber! Luckily my car was already bent so it somewhat evened out the cars natural camber that I had dialed out with my plates before.
My STB is now always in the car, I honestly feel no difference in grip but since its been back in no more sudden alignment issues have come up.

when a front is lifted all the load is on the other side and not evenly distributed. cutting back on the hight of your lift even helps as more tire on the otherside of the car can be used (more even use instead of outer edge). looks cool in pics though

Nice pics, t-hill :) How wide are your tires ?

235/40/17 nt-01. I had to throw them on the 8" RC's since my shipment of ltw-5's did not arrive in time. they will be moved over to a demo set of 17x8.5 wheels since they need more sidewall support.

you should have seen the e30 325 the next weekend running 255/40/17 nt-01's !!!! :o

From this past weekends event. Playing around with rear sway bar settings, after these two runs i attached the rear bar and it did not lift after that [picked up almost a full second too]




2 wheels?

[Jean]

Damn! Joe, your car leans a LOT :) What rates?

[Hick]

HR Race, Bil sports, Vorslag CP, 21mm front bar on the strut tube. 19mm rear bar was not attached, but after i did it didnt lean as much :)

[nando]

uh, wow - yeah, that's a bit too much lift!

[rsafier]

Yeah that is a lot more then his car has done before, suprising with running "tiny" tires, but for the soft front rates that car really does handle great.

Yep you aren't gonna beat Aaron but your keeping a very respectable gap there considering how "underprepped" your car is. Speaks to the driving.

I should be out in 2 weeks with the Lemon's car, need to get fuel cell in cause it leaks gas like crazy right now.

Thanks Dick. Ill let you co-drive it if you give me a 273/293 LSD for FREEEEEE [or at a discount]
