can someone tell how different front n back set ups affect ur car.....how a hard/soft front end/back end effects ur car and how it drives......understeer, oversteer etc....cheers Pete

 

I just seen your disk today at Baz's and i'd be putting in a warranty claim for that disk matey.!!

Oh and it is normal for Gaz to rub the rear inner arches as they all do....escos and saff. Hammer fixes it!! LOL

Baz thought your car had been in a shunt, pmsl

 

i cracked a 32mm disc.................... ..........wonder how long my new ones last................

 

think i'll change my name......................

 

lets try again..............please reply my name is really "stu @ msd".......

 

oh well in that case......

 

ya know what i mean............if ur face fits................everybody on here know everything about everything................till u ask......

 

Pete, rather than drive round on your disks put your wheels on, I'm sure they'll last longer

 

big thanks 4 that wk...........................its not my fault i'm rough........

 

when you comming down to the big smoke

Weigh'ins on the Friday

 

i'll be down friday night...........scott might be earlier......i'll buzz ya when i know more............... .....anyway answer my ????? or fook off..........

 

quick Mikes on..................xxxxxxx..........

 

I told you what to do, so why are you asking again?

 

No reply is obvious really, hardly anyone in the Cossie/RST world does owt with suspension barring "slam it on koni's bruv"

 

................yes and thanks.....but i'm asking about how different setting effect the car...........also what is the ideal height while im here..............center of wheel (17's) to arch....

 

........cos like...if me arches are touchin' me wheels its like....sik...init...

 

Too stiff on the front, and it will understeer, too stiff on the rear and it will oversteer. Experiment with the settings so that it handles how YOU like .

Set the ride height so that the rear is 10mm higher than the front. The ride height is set up by the front suspension TCAs, so make sure they are either parrallel with the ground or with the outer TCA joint being fractionally lower than the inner one. Set the rear height to this (+10mm).

Happy now?

 

u had to be clever didnt u................................. i understood fook all of that..............................

 

LOL

 

Seriously?

Okay, best I give you some other instructions: "Breath in, breath out, beath in, breath out, breath in , breath out" etc .

Which bit do I need to clarify?

 

not talking to u anymore..............i bet i crash soon...........cos of u mr R.....but hey it wont be the first time...............p.s think i need my back end stifferning.................

 

All this just so Pete can get to Scott's chippy quicker

 

...........fuck that..!!!!!.........have u been..??????.........

 

suspension set up is too big a subject to sort out in one post , Mikes explained a few basics but be careful , if you set up a car by eye without first having corner weighted it you will be asking for trouble !
there are lots of books on the subject to help undersatnd basics but these are no replacement for getting a pro to do it for you . I hope that doesn't sound too patronising

 

After asking around, and talking to a few people, (inc Mike and Tony)

i've played alot with suspension setting on both my cars on the track and road over the last 4+ years.


But a base setting can be done on your car, but then different driver's/cars prefere different handleing/setup's.

 

you cheeky fat bastad!! you love my fatty chip!

 

Warren, i'll be down for the weigh ins this time. You'll have to let me know what time they are and where
