Help me out with suggestions here in the autoX. NOTE: my front tires were pretty much done at this point (4th event on the NT05's in addition to street miles).

it appears that you may be late on the turn ins, especially on the slalom. If the car isn't responding, that explains the some of the corners, but you're definitely late on the first slalom cone on all 3 runs (FYI, I suck at slaloms for exactly the same reason). Trackbird and Beerman (that could be a cheesy 70's movie title (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) finally convinced me to drive at the first cone until I hit it and the adjust from there. just my 2 cents....

With no front tire left, it didn't want to turn...I tried using the power to rotate the rear but that can be counter productive on a tight AUTOX so I didn't try to push it too much. Next event will have new front tires (or at least the rears moved up front). I also would like to add an UE DTA to hopefully help me put the power down better as well has assist with braking performance. What I saw from the fast cars is they just absolutely turn in great...no drama, no squalling from the tires...they just turn...I want to get my car there!!! |

What were your tire pressures and alignment settings? I tried 3 different tire pressure settings the 3rd day (as it was the only day with 100% dry conditions and decent temps). 1st 32 all around, 2nd 30/32, 3rd 26/29. Alignment: -1.2 camber (to 1/32 toe out) and 5.5 caster. |
