(see full post)- cjatrains replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.I understand. After spending sometime discussing variable rate springs with @TeeLew I was convinced I didn't want to introduce what seemed to me like another variable with "dual rate" springs. I was relieved when I removed both my front and... (see full post)
Mjschneidy replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.Thanks, appreciate the feedback. I went down the Steeda dual rate springs and matching bars along with their DSC controller path.

steveespo replied to the thread S550 Heel-toe struggles.Not really, you do need to be on the brake and fully release the clutch for the second shift. I can sometimes beat the timing if I don't fully release the clutch. (see full post)
StangGuy97 replied to the thread S197 Sallie.Wow, didn't realize how long its been since I posted. Last time at the track, the wheel studs on the right rear broke. That incident has necessitated a mid-season upgrade. I've taken the opportunity to catch up on upgrades I had bought but not... (see full post)
Bedouin replied to the thread S550 Heel-toe struggles...the left ball of foot & slight roll onto the throttle (with a wider gas pedal) is great advice, & if you practice on every downshift during street driving it’ll become second nature at the track. Also very important is having the throttle lag... (see full post)

bnight replied to the thread Rear diff whine after track sessions (Dark Horse) – normal?.Start with checking your wheel hubs as they start to whine on track if it's not wheel hubs than it's most likely the diff.

blacksheep-1 replied to the thread S550 Heel-toe struggles.I'm a kart racer, it was either left foot braking or left foot braking and a sequential box, so I never was good at heel n toe, for this reason I use an auto Blip, and for me, not having to mickey mouse around with a laptop and programming is a...

TMSBOSS replied to the thread S550 Heel-toe struggles.Exactly. The knobs of the auto blip have moved on me. Some have put rubber bands or o rings on the knobs to hold the knobs. With the Xing unit you can program in, by percentage, the amount of delay and activation. When working out which... (see full post)
