Project Bad Penny - more changes because done is boring

[Damn True]

Longer shocks? Por que?

Is this something that was a factor because of the previous configuration of the car?

Nice!

Last Sunday we bolted on the race tires and took Penny to the autocross at Marina. The course was tight for the imports but it was a good handling test. Myself, Dave and Mary all took turns. All I can say is that the changes really helped the car, we actually be fast now. lol

Racepak data shows were doing sustained 1.3+g turns and my iPod deal recorded peaks of:

Acceleration 1.10g
Braking: 1.41g
Left: 1.42
Right: 1.41

Car felt great but we found that due to the increased size of the front calipers we need a 1-inch bore master rather than the 7/8" one we have now. That part is going on tomorrow.

1.4g's! Damn...That's with the R1's? What were you doing on the R888's?

I'm sustaining 1.1g's with 1.2 peaks on the R888's

Amazing how much it takes to get that last bit of g's

What we found was that the car was bottoming out the shock on really fast auto-x tracks or on road tracks. Remember that my static ride heigth is pretty low.
