Yep, I have one....but that only solves part of the problem, but can't solve the design flaws of a 30 year old package.
As the car is lowered from standard ride height, say by shorter springs, the rear wheels start to go well into negative camber. The modified cross member allows you to adjust out this negative camber and get nice straight wheels again. Problem is, when you then go dump 160 KW's at the wheels, it makes the arse of the car squat down, lower again, and negative camber comes back into the equation. The only way, short of putting in a new rear end, would be to have the static camber setting way positive so that when you took off, the car would 'squat' and go back to about 0deg. Personally, I'll stick with slightly slower et's rather than drive around with back wheels that bow out at the top like a clapped out old volksy :)) Cheers, Cam CM510 www.datnet.org/cm510 ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, October 19, 2001 12:08 PM Subject: Re: datto spotting - adelaide > Cam > > You haven't tried one of Matt's modified rear ends? > > James > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Cam" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Friday, October 19, 2001 11:44 AM > Subject: Re: datto spotting - adelaide > > > > VERY TRUE ! > > > > Mine makes over 200 odd Flywheel kw and runs through the traps at > consistent > > 112mph with a best of 12.9 et. > > > > Problem is traction off the line, and between gears with the IRS giving > > heaps of neg camber, resulting in smaller tyre contact patch = heaps of > > wheel spin :( > > > > > > Cam > > CM510 > > www.datnet.org/cm510 > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "andrew smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Sent: Friday, October 19, 2001 11:17 AM > > Subject: Re: datto spotting - adelaide > > > > > > > Justin, > > > Pulling 12's in a 1600 with 210kw isnt as easy as it sounds.Ive seen > > plenty of > > > sr20det 1600's making about this hp battling to get low 13's.While a > mate > > of > > > mine runs 13 flat out of his tori @ 97mph while similar times from a > 1600 > > the > > > mph is up around 110.My L20 made 228rwhp @5500 before wheelspin set > in.It > > was > > > during a competition and they didnt have time to adjust the ramping > speed > > to > > > stop the spin and it was enough hp to win the class.I rekon its good for > > plenty > > > more. > > > Andrew Smith > > > > > > Justin Friedrichs wrote: > > > > > > > Yeah, I reckon it looks great, something different, but > wouldn't > > be > > > > my colour of choice since its a trademark commo colour.
