Pete, you using the Zeal Blue Panther Coilover right? What damper setting do you use normally on streets comparing to that on tracks?
terris08 - Originally before the track day i had the front set at 2 and the rear set at 5. However, even on the street on some corners had problem with the rear being "skatey". After the rear sliding out and spinning me off the track, i changed the front to 3 (out of 4) and the rear i think 3 (out of 8) from memory - will double check later on for you.
After that on the track I didn't have a problem really it was pretty stable - sometimes the rear would kick out just a little bit or got understeer after that and sometimes both in the same corner.
haven't changed it for the street and on the street it handles much better than before however i still want to play around wiht the settings a little bit more.
Also keep in mind that i have a few strut bars and braces.
Pete :)
ive seen a jazz with just about 195, the jazz goes pretty good upto 160-175 then it starts to slow down, stock it just falls dead about 140km/h, to get anything over 190 you gotta have a nice non windy day and from 185 to 195 it took ages.Quote:

ey pete, i don't think we changed the front settings at all? we went out on the first session with the rear on 5 and found it was too skaty.....changed it to 2 and it was too soft then bumped it up to 3 and left it there?
we were going to play with the front but never did? i reckon maybe it's worth while just softening the front a little bit :)
p.s. my arm was sore for a week after that day! that damn seat just doesn't hold you in when you'r cornering so hard! :D
chasis stiffening is very important, more so before power, makes the car more fun to drive when its not rolling all over the placeQuote:

1. My car in the pitt lane carpark, with the Toyo arch in the background. The arch is the main entrance to the competitor's area. In the background are various sheds and admin buildings of Wakefield Park.

nice...... P6000.... costly.... but worth every penny..... :D
I've also heard that SSR is gone..... but i still see them selling in the shops though....
Have you tried Yokohama A539 ???
