bnight replied to the thread S197 pushing badly.It goes both ways: Verstappen a lot of front end actually more front end than anyone on the Grid, Hamilton on the other hand prefer a rear end car (Reason he was struggling with ground effect cars and with the Ferrari car last season.) Both... (see full post)- TeeLew replied to the thread HPDE tires.The important dimension is the track width, not the hub face. If you move the centerline of the tire, you'll change the forces involved. If you don't; you won't. (see full post)
BP2Vet replied to the thread Ford Performance Track Handling Pack Help.The friend you bought the track handling kit off of had BMR Caster camber plates is what it looks like to me on there...What does your strut mount under the hood look like? Just bolts? Because you'll need the horseshoe looking plate too. (see full post)-
- TeeLew replied to the thread S197 pushing badly.TeeLewism #936: Robert Duvall has contributed to more poor handling race cars than any other person on the planet (He even beats Steeda). Everyone laughs at the racing in _Days of Thunder_, but I've heard people who are too young to even remember... (see full post)
- TeeLew replied to the thread S197 pushing badly.Yep, that's the accepted logic. It's not exactly wrong, but it misses the point. The 'Pro' will naturally have a sharper front end because of how he drives, not because of the settings on the car. If you do end up with a car that's genuinely... (see full post)
honeybadger replied to the thread S197 pushing badly.Interesting - I've always heard faster drivers want a sharper front end because you can manage the rear end with steering and the pedals....but what you're saying is backwards, right? (see full post)- TeeLew replied to the thread S197 pushing badly.100%. This sounds completely counterintuitive, but you can pretty much tell how fast a driver is by now much understeer they want in the car. The faster the driver, the more secure they need the rear of the car. They create the rotation on their... (see full post)

mwjscn replied to the thread Oil Cooler Air Flow.FYI just in case someone is reading this in the future: Setrab will often supply you 3D models of components if you ask nicely. (see full post)- Paul McWhiskey replied to the thread Suspension Banging.Called and spoke to BMR. They asked for emailed photos so I did that. Was told that I will get an email response tomorrow.

Mad Hatter replied to the thread S197 pushing badly.As Tee Lew mentioned, a lot depends how you drive as well. I know when people drive my car they say it very strong understeer (running with out a rear bar etc). For me at least, Rotating the car in the corner with the brakes is key. Then early...

JDMac34 replied to the thread S197 JDMac's GT.I decided to pull the trigger on a Nine Lives Wing after Watkins Glen. It arrived the night I was putting my car on the trailer for Muscle on the Mountain at UMI Motorsports Park. It was a thrash to get it together that night, but I'm happy with... (see full post)-

biggsy replied to the thread Suspension Banging.Sorry I must be missing something. What is the issue? (see full post)-
JDMac34 replied to the thread Oil Cooler Air Flow.I made it from scratch using dimensions from Setrab's website. I don't have much experience 3D scanning. I can see how it would be beneficial for reference parts, like this cooler, but I've heard it's a pain if you ever have to modify one of... (see full post)
GAR944 replied to the thread Suspension Banging.WOW, good find. Will be interesting to see what is suggested. All i can envision is packing that coil to prevent compression. (see full post)
