Groffball, you gonna make it out to the TCS at the RCO this year? I'll be back, but with time with my MSX. I might even race GT2 with my TA05... maybe... I wanna concentrate on GT1 though. I could always bring out my Mini..

4deg. blocks
white frt springs yellow rear springs
2deg camber all 4 wheels
blue frt. sway bar
2mm shim on frt and rear links
0deg rear hubs
the problem is the car is real slow to enter shap corners at any decent speed. The car is awesome through the huge sweeper we have but slow giong into the tight "s" section
Any help would be great. Thanks.

I'd have to try it myself first, but I have a suspecsion that because the rebound is lower, it might not handle bumps so well... something to try anywho.

@ bender;
I am working on the tips section, honest. It's taking a longer cause I don't have much time on my hands at the moment, very busy with work (although it probably doesn't seem like it
), and other things.
Anyway, as a quick bit of proof....
www.thard.co.uk/tips.html
The only one that works is the david jun droop method... I am adding more bits as i go along though.
@ Erik;
Thats certainly what I found, cheers for confirming it...

Ed

So I guess if you want to maintain a similar feel in compression, you would probably want to go to a heavier oil. I think that's why Tryhard went to a higher wt oil.

Really, 0.58sec faster??? Thats a HUGE difference!
I know the car is allot better without the foam, but I did not think it was that much!!
Then we should try to set up the shocks with no rebound at all, might be even better, whoooohoooo!!

hehe...
I agrre it was quite alot, and was my only sub 15second lap of that run (posted on the third from last lap
). Probably just a freak one which I somehow managed to hook up (and given there were two 18sec ones either side 
bloody traffic)... still I reckon it improved it by about 3tenths at least (I was regularly doing low 15's/high 14's in the next run), just by the car being smoother and nicer to drive
Cheers
