I definitly got some power on understeer in turn 7 last time out (tires where hot also) I will see if the RB springs will help with that plus a better alignment before I change the bars as I sure love that feel on the ramps!
Get the flywheel, get the flywheel, get the flywheel Silver! Charlie will even throw in a free lunch!

I've been experiencing massive under steer with the RB sways.
Maybe I'm just too fast.
But I like it. Kinda like drifting, I suppose.
Here's me at the MazFest after the 140mph sweeper.
Getting ready to pass. I think this is only around 115mph.

SWEET!
Post that on the RX7 club for some bashing! :D
Do you think the RB front end links are needed with the RB sway bars. I held off but I'm wondering now if I should have gotten them. I didn't want to drill larger holes, as required.

Glad that I did. It would only be a good idea IF you plan on being quite agressive with your cornering, or plan on running mucho amounts of autocross or HPDE events.
BTW, thanks for the present I received -- much appreciated. Quite commendable all the time you put into this 'little' project.

Charles, the DVD is just images. All you can do is browse and open images. These are the photos straight out of the camera. There is no interface for viewing on the CD so you must view the contents instead of waiting for a program to start. If you need assistance for viewing images you can probably ask Nabil, Phlash, Lego or someone else using a PC that has already accessed the images. I use a Mac so I might not be telling you properly how to access. Sorry for any problems. A movie DVD will come at a later date just in case you were thinking this was the movies.

Charles, Just explore the CD and you should be able to view all the images as thumbnails and pull them up by doubleclicking on them... As a Mac user, Don is completely ignorant of how to use a PC. Poor him... 
I bet you he goes into convulsions when he sees a DOS C:\> prompt.

The problem I am having is that the optic block refuses to focus. I tried to play/load(whatever) the c.d. again and the laser lens refuses to lock on a focus. Having repaired c.d. players for Sony in the past I have gained extensive knowledge on how they sound when certain issues are cropping up. These things happen sometimes. My other stuff is okay so I must have gotten the disc that Don made near the end of his drinking binge and he forgot to finalize it.

Just about ready to buy some Kumho's ESTA MX 245/40x YR18
If not I will pick the BF Goodrich T/A KDW 245/40x YR18
It was recomended to intall the front end links so I did it.
I like it because the front end is super stiff. On the twisties I can keep the pedal to the metal. Being aggressive in the corners is where the speed and the fun is at.

I have almost completed the first of two videos from our March NASA event. I hope to have it posted by tomorrow evening. This is just a teaser to make sure you are paying attention. It is part 1 of 2 and is from Friday's tunner session at MAZCARE. I will post it first and when I have time I will start working on part 2 which is Saturday's and Sunday's activities. Thanks for you patients, except Nabil! :D
Just kidding Nabil, I love you jabbing.

YEA! I'm back online. I got temporarily, unintentionally, data corrupted, banned from communicating with you guys and I was going into DT's. Thanks Nabil for being my liaison. OMG, that is like being without your 8!
Speaking of being without your 8, what's up Lego?

OK, the teasing is over for movie part 1. Go check out our tuning session from Friday before the NASA event on my website:
http://silvereightstudio.com
Scroll down to "Videos - Road Race Courses" / "Road Atlanta NASA Event, March 19-20, 2005"
and choose one of the movie types. I saved it out as Quicktime (.mov) and Windows Media Player (.wmv). I STRONGLY suggest you view the .mov file, as it is 10 times better quality than the .wmv file.
