Track was flat grass (if you can call it that) with plenty of undulations, especially on the straight, and fairly twist but quick.

I used asso' shocks but with losi springs (using the D4 shock bottoms).
35wt with red springs front and 30wt and pink springs rear.

Went down to .75 washer under the rear pivot mount.
shocks were mounted on the outer most hole on the front (mount and wishbone) and outer on the wishbone and 3rd hole in on the shock tower at the rear.
camber links were as I got it, front- inner hole on hub and inner on bulkhead. rear-middle hole on hub and outer hole on bulkhead (no new alloy blocks)
camber was 1deg front and 1.5 rear.
wheel base was forward on front and middle rear.
Grp tyres were the quicker option but were less stable than the shuey yellows...so obviously i stuck with the grp.

thats about all I can tell you really.

Tell,

Come have a chat next weekend as you're running the car and let me know what heat you're in so I can have a watch. I've no idea what those springs are (red front???) but the E Speed rear hangers help with on power steering, they really are a 'must' dude

yep, without wanting tthe hastle of changin oil (as there wasn't a great deal of time between run) I just went as soft as I could to get the front end round.
But it was good, especially when it was dry and could just turn up the inside of everyone, it was great. But it never threw the back end out. Well impressed.

I'll come and have a chat at ozwestry next week with y'all.

Who is selling the blue hangers?

Ellis, I had the JC front wing on.

Thinking about it, it may have just been the track.
The straight was far from flat and you spent more time aibourne than on the ground, and the first (fast) turn was pretty much the same. It was difficult (very) to find a smooth line into, and through, the fast turn. So it may have just been the bumps etc.
