I asked for customs, pretty much setup like 90/10's up front, and the opposite on the rear, but he explained that there's no need, the way his ba/f sedan dampers are valved will provide positive force on the rear wheels for the launch while keeping stability in the top end, and still being fit for street duties...

He suggested raising the front for track duties to help shift some of the static weight over the rear, but other then that they way they are set is the way a few of the quickest in the country are setup and getting great results

Happy New Year fellas, sorry for not updating the last month, I've just been busy with other stuff

Not much has happened, I installed the Shockworks, and what a feeling, straight out of the box they feel different then anything else I have felt, it feels as if the body of the car is floating over the road, yet completely stable.. The ride height is set at 355mm all round which still looks abit like a taxi haha, now I'm generally one for function over form, but I lowered it 20mm all round

Their was definitely a reduction in ride quality, but no worse then the Koni and King combo, yet still much better then stock.. Some alterations to the dampener settings will improve it again.. I have also done some testing on some different settings to get it off the line, now I think I'll keep it to myself at this stage but I'll say that it's lengths above the old combo.. It looks a little like this

I'm keen to get it back out to the track and see what it can do...

Then this happened

The oil feed filter was partially blocked so that would of been a big contributer, and can only be blamed on my carelessness and not cleaning it as regularly as I should have, especially after the fresh motor went in.. But also this poor turbo has been over spun pretty much it's whole life lol.. I'll be susing out my options of just getting it rebuilt and throwing it back on.. Or taking it to the next level

It's the evil cycle of the modified car life... I would still love to run a better number with the 35, I believe I'm chasing a 9.82@142 from a nizzer car.. I believe I can get close

But a 45 is enticing
