Cool, this makes sense. So, if I crank the rebound fully up on my Ohlins LMJ's on the front shocks with minimal compression in it, should the gas pressure be high enough to immediately extend, or...
-
Any idea of what would be a good starting point for gas pressure in the front shocks? The competition that is beating us seems to be running "tie-down" rebound in their front shocks. Not sure what...

Both the driver and I would make good anchors for a tug-of-war team, never ran into a sandwich we didn't like. The numbers are with driver in the car, though I tend to load the seat with extra...

Unfortunately A has been our answer this year

Thanks both of you for the detailed response. Hopefully I will answer your questions to get me on to the next stage:
1/4-3/8 track
LMJ Ohlin Shocks (first time we've run gas shocks, ran twin tubes...

I'm curious as to what effect you think running the softer RR will do? Will it become tight and plow front end first into the wall, or will it become loose and make little circles?
Driver has been...

I suspect I found the "gremlin" in the car and it's the LR brake pads. Took them off last night an saw they are glazed over and dam near as smooth as and hard as glass. Must of been dragging and...
-
we run IMCA as well and these are the exact problems we have been having. If the track has a little traction/moisture the driver can nearly flat-foot it around the track. As soon as the track dust's...

center-off is where I'm getting the feedback where the "side-bite" issue is. This sport is filled with a lot of slang that is misused or misinterpreted

Ran a softer RR Spring, 200 vs. 250#, and dropped the J-Bar down to the bottom slot on the pinion this last week and picked up a little speed and the driver thought the car had a little more...
-
Running a brake floater for the first time on a 4-Bar, ran it on a fast-boy set up for a mod a number of years back. We've noticed that the RR rotor is shinny and hot at the end of the night and the...

If we are truly "loose" on entry and exit, softer RR might be what we need?
-
Your post made me re-think what is happening with the car. I want to restate what I think isn't happening, I don't believe we are shifting much of the weight. from the left side to the ride side...
-
Yep, just as you describe on exit. Kinda of hard to tell from the stands on entry though.
Attention to Detail; pounded into me from Day One at Boot Camp, nearly 37 years ago. This philosophy has...

Smashed number at ride-height was roughly 620. At what I thought was max travel by looking at the tattletale the smashed number was 780. I thought it should of picked up more, but am inexperienced...
-
So, I just took the RR shock and spring and put it into the smasher after racing Friday night. I was surprised to see that it only gained 160#s in dynamic. The driver was complaining about a lack of...
-
reason and facts with a driver in an argument? Hell, being a ex-7th Fleet Sailor I'm always up for an adventure!!!!
I can see he is turning to the right while exiting, classic loose to me
-
If I run any less the nose starts plowing. I set the car up old school last week and it was slightly tight according to the driver, but sitting in the stands it looked slightly loose (an ongoing,...
-
Hmm......I might have to come up with a convenient mis-statement of the truth should I bump into Randy.
-
evidently I'm cheating then. I don't have a bump stop on the suspension, I have one on the shock rod. Guess next time I see Randy Anderson at the track I'll get his take on this.
Thanks for...
-
Billet, your first thought on what I did was right. I mistakenly thought the chassis is centered on all 4 wheels and I could take a guess at setting smash numbers based upon 54% of rear and 53% of...

I calculated what I wanted each corner spring load to be at each corner at ride height. When I put it on the scales (old school way) I ended up with a 40 lbs of reverse bite, which probably...
-
Yes, some numbers are up to 90lb different. I should say we went from a perpetually tight car to one that is slightly loose. Unless I'm mistaken, if I choose to, I could use the numbers I have and...
-
Not having any smash numbers from a builder, I measured pin-to-pin distance at ride height
and used this distance to set weights in a spring smasher. When I put the car on the scales I notice some...

Thanks all, I took your advice and was able to get the rod end off without damaging the shaft
