Guidance with sorting out the car...   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #36551 of 36773 |
So I finally got the car out to an autocross. The idea is to "test" it at a few
local events before taking it to a track day. There were 4 cars in CP & I
managed to win the class by nearly 1/2 second. But I know I have some tuning to
do.

What is the best approach to dialing in a car? It seems like starting with
major changes like the shock adjustments should be first, leaving something like
tire pressure for fine tuning. But I also have the stock sway bar in front but
a '96 bar on the rear. With stiffer springs/struts up front, is it better to
put a smaller front bar on?

Is there anyone out there that is REALLY good at this? I know the only real
answer is seat time & a stop watch. But I'm trying to use these local autox's
to get the car reasonable before going faster with it.

Thanks!

Thanks for the input. I guess I always looked at tire pressure as a fine tuning thing. But it makes sense that if the tire is not optimum, everything else...
