Should get some clear laps in hopefully. First serious attempt with the GTX3576R on E85 in cooler temps. High volume finned ZF sump and some chassis alignment tweaks the only other changes. 285 R7 Hoosiers on the front, 275 on the back. Been trying for about 5 years now. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizarre Only have one pair of 10.5" rims at the moment. 285's at the front will provide better braking and turn in with a bit of lift off oversteer across the top. Entry speed will be a bit higher with the stickier fronts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franga Donating Members 256 Member For: 10y 1m 7d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne, VIC Posted 28/04/16 10:27 AM Share Posted 28/04/16 10:27 AM Wow. I have 275 rears on mine but would need better offset wheels with some guard work to go any bigger and you have 285s up front? Do you still retain full steering motion? I'm trying to set a bunch of times around Vic with a stock powered BA 5 speed myself. Next is Phillip Island. Pic updates please! Love the car and your work.

Mid range is very strong in 3rd gear and have to be very smooth, progressive with throttle application on corner exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I know its not as black and white as this but would a bigger turbo been more suitable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not on a relatively small circuit like Wakefield. Last thing I've been wanting is more power. Coolant gets too hot, too laggy on corner exit, and earlier braking points are required. 24 minutes ago, Franga said: Wow.

To be honest, I never use full steering lock at the circuit even getting in and out of pit garage. The power steering fluid gets hot enough even with a much bigger PS cooler. 3.5neg camber, rolled front guards and +19 offset helps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
