What i need some help with is a forgiving sert-up for asphalt. I say forgiving because I'm somewhat of a senior (63) and don't have the reaction response that you young dudes do.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Just do the setup that is included in the back of the instructions. This is basically where the instructions lead you anyway. Only changes I have made are 17.5# rear springs and 60/40 on the shock oil.
Will know more after we hopefully meet up with Matt Francis this weekend at Speedworld.

I took my car apart for you. Remember that when I want naked pictures of your sister. Ok?

Thanks for the pic Greg. That's what I thought everyone meant, but I wanted to be sure before I started "hacking" away.
And Kevin, you may want to keep those pictures to yourself. I'd hate to see the person I'm gonna be harrassing for set up help incapacitated by a mad husband or fiance!
j/kSo now that we've busted out the "your sister" jokes, when do the "yo momma" jokes start?

How far out do you have to space the front shocks top and bottom to run the number 1 hole inside on the tower? So that it does not rub.
Thanks,

Asphalt Set-Up
Thanks to Wannabee, JRX-S Bill and special thanks to Mr Hodgimoto for the quick response.
I start building tomorrow, probably be asking for some building advice as we go along, although much of the issues have been covered already.
I'll let you know how my first run goes, probably won't be for a couple of weeks.
Thanks again
