Hi John , nice article and a lot more info. In the article it said that you really liked being able to use the brake pressure gauges to dial it all in. Would it have been reasonably as easy to do with one gauge as it was with 2? I keep thinking that with a proportioning valve intead of the pedal bias like you have ,that one gauge on the rear would be enough to use for a baseline. What do you think?
You keep driving IIMuch around and you will have the right buyer by the end of the season. Remember that you won't have the next one done before you can enjoy the benefits so get what you can out of II Much before she's gone.:cheers:

Thanks guys!
Jim, I think I'm understanding what you are asking. If you have a single gauge, you can tune the brake bias by experimentation. It's really no different than with two gauges, it's just that I know the pressure readings at the caliper, where with a single gauge, you'd have to infer it.

Great write up, wonderful car, I still need a ride, but, from the reading of the article you should know why I want to make the rear rims smaller on my Camaro and not change anything else on the front end,

I think we need a pro-touring.com calendar with the likes of IIMuch, Bad Penny, Emptynest, DeRaad's RSX Camaro and some of the other awsome cars that have been built...I would buy one for sure...

I don't know about "beating" on it, but I drive it all the time. My daughter thinks she's pretty cool arriving at soccer practice in it. I'm just you basic soccer dad, lol.

It's like my kids eating Halloween candy after the 7 days straight. Candy doesn't make me sick dad, it just rots our teeth. II Much is one of my favorite cars of all time. I hope one day I get to meet her/it in person:jump: .
