I have my member number and I have downloaded the pdf. It is just huge and it gives you diagrams with every single part imageable. It is somewhat overwhelming to look at those "exploded" diagrams.

 

OK so you want to be lazy and have me do the work for you.... Tell you what just give my your credit card number and I will order your parts for you.

btw you can just call them and tell them what part you want, they will get the part number and process the order.

 

ahh, calling them...that would be an easier way

See you Sunday.

 

i already have the 9.5 inch back tires lol

OK slackers.... Plan ahead this time.

Just posted the next practice in SD:

I didn't f-in hit any cones...that pisses me off.

 

It didn't affect your fastest run, chill out yo.

 

No, but it did make me look like a cone killer...and my fastest time was f'd up as well...oh well. At least I didn't finish in last. Thanks to the WRX.

 

If you think the results are wrong you need to go to www.solo2.com, I know that means leaving the safety of the SB threads, and find the post about the results. In that post is an email add to send a results issue to. They always post the results as preliminary for like a week, but if you do not bring it up the will assume they are ok.

 

results are not up, or at least linked just yet, but I will check. Thanks for the posted Pic Casey, looks nice. I was looking at standings, and I'm not on there yet, cause my temp number from last time won't carry over (so no points from that first event we went to)...and my points aren't up yet. You're in third with only the one race. Keep it going.

 

OK again READ my post. I said go find the post about the results, hint its on the message board, there is a link in the thread to the preliminary results. Once the results are on the results page they are final.

 

Anyone wanting some FREE practice time should go to www.solo2.com and find the post on the message board about the free practice. The West Coast Z car natls is Apr 29-30. Many of us will be out of town for a Natl race so they can use all the help they can get. If you work Sat, course what ever they need, you get to run for free on Sun.

 

I thought you Fontana boys were coming down today... buncha no shows.

Either my tires are crapped out, or my driving really sucked 'cause I was plowing all over the place. Best I could muster was a 60.3 and I believe there was a missing first slalom cone for that run. Don't tell anybody.

Could be that I've had the same 2 tires on the front for the last 40 runs or so...

 

Best of a 58.6 for me, also on dead tires.

FAST course, most of it near the top of 2nd gear. Course ended with a 3rd gear run down the hill and a 80mph blast at the finish lights.

 

I gotta figure out where you're finding the 1.5+ secs every time. I think I'll start doing some video again, and record a run from your car as well... then I can obsess over the parts where I'm slow.

 

You can only video my good runs. Bring your setup on the 23rd. Trying to decide if I want to suffer one more event with the crap tires or put on one of the good sets.

 

Hmm, seems it would be best to do it when we both have about equal tires.

I just finished putting the new bar bushings on, swapping tires, and setting the front shocks to full soft. Nice and comfy now.

Hopefully the bushings will buy me about a second.

 

Jasons, nice to see you had fun as usual. (who wouldent)
nice to see no sway bars came off.

I never said I would be outr there today. I had plans all day.

I do have a question for you though. with the Konis I have them set to full stiff in the rear, (rebound stiff, full counter clock ways) and on the fronts WERE full soft (rebound, all the way clock weise,) the car rode like crap... stiff as hell.

when I turned the fronts all the way counter clockweise when I got the the track (should be full stiff rebound) the drive home was much nicer!!!

from what I gather from it, is when the shocks are turnes all the way clock ways, it is full stiff on comppression, and full soft on rebound. counter clockways is obviously the opposite. (full stiff rebound, but full soft compression)

Just want to verify witht he both of you that you feel the same thing. bassically the car rides the best on the "race" setup. (the stiff commpression is what was beating the hell out of me untill I turned it to the left.)

(If I remember right, this is what I read on Koni's web site.)

 

hey keith i thought you were going to san diego today, i came on tonight to check your times out and... ah... um... check with you later.

 

Found out way too late that time change occured last night. If I had driven all the way down there, I would have been exactly an hour late for everything...fricken sucks. I did want to go. The other thing that happened is I've been getting a lot of brake noise from the front of my car. I think I'm starting to go metal on metal as I am getting brake squeal when driving, and a weird scraping noise when going reverse.

I ordered new brake pads Thursday and hope to have them tomorrow or Tuesday. Autocross on bad brakes would not be a good idea. Spent the day launching rockets with Speed and Meschelle.

 

The compression is not adjustable on a koni sport at all. The only adjustment you have is rebound.

The tool for your front shocks shows which way to turn it. Counter clockwise is stiff, clockwise is soft.

On the rear the koni website shows clockwise is stiffer and counter is softer.

Could be your ride was better on full stiff front because the shock is able to control the spring.

 

hmmm, weren't you turning the fronts and rears the same way Casey?

 

i adjusted the rears as the web site directed. I set them full stiff. if this was clock ways, then thats what I did.

as for the fronts, I was VERY suprised when turning them counter clockways made the ride better! I expected it to get even worse.

I could have sworn I read that when you adjusted them, they were adjusting the compression AND the rebound at the same time.... hmmmm. all well.

what does your car do when you turn them clock ways? does it get rougher or smoother?

 

I dont adjust them, full stiff all the time.
