Car Setup
 

Hello guys, i was wondering what setup you ppl use in eastern creek for electric TC stock:-

* Tires: Brand/Comp
* Rollout
* Body

I assume you got diffrent setups for summer and winter so can you plz help us out, i was planning on using jaco and ellegi tires but dont really know what compounds to get, i ran there during meca 1 using 40/37 was ok, anywayz give us some feed backs.

Set Ups
 

I'll be interested in this answer too. Also, any suggestions for rubber???(sorry to semi-hijack the thread :) )

Atomix - You stole my avitar;)

How did that happen? I noticed a few "Atlas" avatars around, so I made it a point to change mine a little. :weird:

Actually I liked yours better than mine so I've just stolen it!

Set up for Eastern Creek
 

Not a lot of help being offered here. Maybe there's speed secrets we're not to know about ;)

Personally, I'm running Eagle 35s on the rear and 40s on the front.

Rollout with a CORE stock is about 30.5. Forgot to compensate for tyre wear last club day and almost got eaten by a flying EVOIII! Still good enough for 21 lap 5.02 though.

Won't make the same mistake this week.

Body is the ubiquitous Stratus.

Hope this helps.

The good thing about foams are that they pretty much all work. Personally i prefer UFRA and Ellegi, mainly because of price, but wear is also very good ( any gas car based foam is good). Stay in the area of 35-40 shore. i generally run 40f and 40r, with 37f if i want a bit more bite.

Stratus is pretty much the standard in touring car racing, with a few Afla's thrown in.

not sure re gearing a stock although 30-34 depending on the motor

ScottyP, uncle thinks he has your measure this week, make sure you go over all the details and make him sqeal like a pig:sneaky: , we dont want him strutting around if he wins.

Any particular rubber work better than others?

I have seen ppl go fast on all of the better rubbers (sorex, pits, & takeoff). If you are looking, pits have a broader temp range that makes em a bit easier to use...

Thanks. Ive got some Sorex & Take - Offs so i'll guess i'll find out on Saturday.

Cheers.

interesting
 

Hmm...keep it coming

Is the protoform honda accord body bad? I got one of those that i havent used, any feedbacks about these bodies

Im using 40f and 37r also had a bit of problem with it, way too much understeer well...that really not a problem but could not be bothered changing :lol: :smile: i am interested in trying 40f 40r or may be 45f and 45r ellegis trued down.

WRX - Pretty much always guaranteed to run same rear tire, i just change the from from 40 to 37, depending on how much steering you need. i have never tried 45-45 but i would doubt as to its performance.

You also have to keep in mind that a front compund 40, will not provide equivalent grip as a rear compound 40. In practical terms it is equivalent to going up 5 shore in tire. ie 40f-40r equivalent to running 45r-40r. As the front foam has a different composition.

thanks
 

Besercoe: Gees i thought they would be the same :rolleyes: :weird: thanks heaps im going to give that a try.
