Not real scientific, but a good indication of the pack condition. take care john I apologize for my ignorance but I'm trying.:D |
Your thinking of how many amps your charging at. Your charger should give you a voltage reading. I'm not an expert by any means, just something I've learned from Tekin and it's proved very usefully.
take care john |

So, I'm running an L4 with dampner tubes to the sides (IRS with white springs). I'm still using the tweak screws in the T-Bar.
Ppl fronts, green rears. I don't have the sizes, but they're cut down just a bit from brand new. CEFX body. Rake is flat, RH is about 4-4.5 (we have a transition from banked oval to flat so I have to run just a bit high so as not to ground out on the transitions. . .) Car is pretty much hooked up, a bit neutral under mid and high-speed cornering but very controllable. However, at the lowest speed portion of a turn, the car wants to pivot hard. It's like once it gets to a certain low speed, it catches and hooks hard. That's about my only problem not driver-related! :D Any thing to look for? |
boomer
what steering blocks are you using? 0,5 or 10 deg?
|
Anyone know where I can get a pair of AE chassis protectors for the 12L3? I think the part# is 4508.
Thanks, James |

I just picked up an l4 about 10 minutes ago from a friend brand new for 100, and after looking at the setup sheets online, the only thing stumping me concerns what t-bar spacers are. I dont totaly understand what they mean. Are they talking about the little black spacers on the end of the t-bar?

5 deg blocks.

5 deg blocks. [/QUOTE I had the problem you described with 10deg blocks. 0 or 5 blocks solved it but you are already using 5s... |

Boomer, how are your front springs? Might try a new pair or add a extra washer at the very bottom between the spring and e-clip.
Doesn't really sound like you want stiffer springs, they may just be collapsing. Does the car do that the entire run or just the last couple minutes? take care john |
Originally posted by jag Just out of curiousity, what do you have your steering dual rate set at? JohnB - it does it the entire run. You think it's the springs? I'll pop a washer in there and give it a shot next week. That just increases the pre-load, right? |

Kind of like touring car. Just keep to much weight from transfering. Of course if you don't let off the throttle, weight can't transfer. Keep it pinned!:lol: :D
