actually i had that set up done in november 2006 from my buddy jason

Aid1970

correct me if i am wrong but i thought that if you lowered the block or raised the link you raised the roll centre and got more grip

fathead

Lowering the block or raising the inside of the camber link is moving those two inboard pivot points further apart which is LOWERING your roll centre, which gives more grip & more roll (you are increasing the roll moment by lowering the roll centre hence more roll).

They run no shims under the lower mounts on carpet generally because they use tiny foam tyres and if you don't lower the lower mounts you end up with the arms at a funky angle because of the small tyres

As far as I know...

Lowering the block lowers the roll centre... Check your manual!!
Or rather - the Xray tuning guide or the old pro4 manual..

The reasons:

A low roll centre is "low" because it's further away from the car's CG. A "high" roll centre is closer to the cg. Imagine a car with such a high roll centre that it passes from the cg. then the car would not even roll through a corner because the links aren't acting on the car vertically. Only laterally through the CG.

Low roll centres - the suspension forces actually cause the chassis to roll down. The rolling moment means an effective reduction on the force pushing the tire down onto the ground.

Grip = tire adhesion * weight. More weight, more grip.

A high roll centre means the suspension, instead of having a moment that rolls the chassis, resists the rolling moment. Why? The rolling moment is smaller and passes closer through the CG.
This resistance means more weight is transferred ONTO the tire. More weight = more grip.

make sense?

....nope. I think you have it backwards.

Can anyone tell me how changing the front toe blocks from 1.5 to 2.5 will change the way the car handles??

Thanks.

Andy Moore's car from www.carpetwars.co.uk

Spur gear was 108.

Shock oil 55/50

1.5mm on all blocks

That's all I know

I pitted and worked with the Hb team all weekend,and ran the same setup as Andy,car worked really well!

But carnt go giving all the secrets away

Nathan Parker

You ran a spool then carter no wonder you couldnt keep up

xluis

Ok, i already have them, and i probe with a fine tune for me, work very well, thanks.

Andrew_Carter

Russ stuck a spool in for finals,carnt have been that bad... perhaps should of tried 1 way! Next time

Interesting to note he wasn’t using MIP CVD’s on the rear or the aluminium heatsink middle brace that come standard on his car version…

Will the drive cups from the new WCE Spool fit a TIR spool?

We use the carbon middle deck indoors as it has different flex characteristics to the alloy one.
