Hey guys I have finally got my T4 running well and brought my lap times down by a second or so ....So i know my changes to the car are doing something for me .
However I am dealing with a slight off power push .
What type of things can I do to improve that for me ? Im not to sure what I can touch or what setting I can make to help with an off power push ....Basically pushing during corner entry .
Any help would be great
Thanks in advance.

Hey guys,
we are having a serious problem of rear belt snapping. I am talking about belts not lasting more than 4 heats of 5 minutes. Anything you guys have done to prevent this?? Less tension on the belt? Track is not dusty/dirty and no pebbles/rocks/dirt was found on the diff/pulleys.

1st - softer front sway bar (1.3)
2nd - lay front shocks down 1 hole
3rd - more rear droop
4th - softer front springs
Essentially you need to transfer weight forward a little more quickly without giving away balance in the rest of the setup. The 1.3 front bar will probably do it...works for me on tight tracks with lots of 180's.

I have never understood the cut llines on the bodies, as no-one uses them.
A lot of body rules were changed at the end of last year to simplify them. These are the current BRCA body rules (for 2013);
http://www.centralbooking.org/cbs/im...-12-2012_0.pdf
In short, you need to be carefull of the rear wing size (190*40*20mm) which includes the endplates, and mount it directly onto the body.
There is no minimum roof height but the wing must be below your roof, the size of the wings means it should never stick above the roof line.
Some of the rear and front valance & bumpers must still be left on the body, like the ETS;

The rules are very much the same as EFRA regulations, in the drawing they do talk about body heigth of 115mm, this is no checked issue?
We lately have a discussion about the 1.6 top plate and what i expect was
right my car has a little better cornerspeed and i was close to the laprecord.
Thanks again

Because you have to have some of the front bumper still on the car there is a limit to how much lower it can go. Any more and the wheels would rub in the wheel wells when cornering.

Are you planning on doing a BRCA meeting?
