The Teal Terror is finally hitting the track again this weekend. 9 cars showing up for CMC at Autobahn County Club.
Bone stock LM4 with F-body pan, intake, manifolds made 263whp on the dyno. New nickname might be "Pig" with the 3340lb minimum weight. Looks like we can't embed images, so here's a link: https://ibb.co/PtzdDZC |

Well shit. That really sucks. I was hoping to hear that it made the podium on the first weekend. Sorry to hear that it went sideways....

Yeah, definitely not the way I hoped the first weekend would go. A podium was the hope but I had a lot of catching up to do. Everyone is really driving the crap out of the cars. I was about 5 seconds off the pace when the engine went. |

QUOTE (trackbird @ Aug 9 2021, 07:34 AM) What's the setup (springs and shocks and such)? Front: GC struts, 1200s, 36mm bar Rear, Koni 30s, 225s, 21mm bar Ride height ~ 5 3/8", adjusters bottomed. I was probably around 70% when the engine went. Still getting used to it vs. my AI car. Having pad knock back and a wobbly steering column again after having it "fixed" for over a decade was a little unsettling. 😂 I really need some test days in it but nothing worked out. |
