G'Day guys,
Seen you all having so much fun i thought i would join you. With some help from nightmare, the pro kit with the new alumium steering rack, is halfway built. Just extracting the OS from the old neo pro ready for the insertion. Great hints and tips on the build, makes life soooo much easier.

Haha. We try... which OS are you going to run, BTW? I think I may be retiring my CV-R in a month or two; leaning toward that D5, provided I can't get my hands on the Evo2 for a good price

Hey spenzalii

Its a blue one LOL, TR-P fitted with 10J slide carb, seems to make lotsa touque, nots sp many revs, which may siut the ld very nicely, as long as it keeps nightmare honest LOL , at the momenti am running it on 15% firewater with a enya no4 plug, seems to runn a little warm but it a happy little motor

Not bad. try and get the lowest gearing you can find for the car (currently I'm running 16/21 clutch bell, I want 15/20, butthey only have the 15 in aluminum). My OS stays in low to mid RPM down the straight. It's a bit better now, but before when 2nd gear hit, it felt like someone kicked the car in the back and it just took off.

Well I just wanted to give you guys a big thanks for all the help with the set-up. Owning the LD3 RTR 2 speed version w/ still stock pinions, I made an A main finish . Fith place running against guys w/ lots more experience than I, not only in driving but in setting up there cars....

Basic set-up, harder springs up front than back,
ofna 50wgt gear oil up front and 30 wght in back,
2 deg camber up front, 0 toe
4 deg camber rear, 1 deg toe
0 blocks up front and 1.5 and 0 in back

Mono 40 shore up front and back

STS engine

Real fun first experience running w/ the big boys, so thanks for all the help...still leaning to drive better but the car really responded good

Appreciate all the help

Go get 'em havy! I still have a month to work out all the kinks that may arise. First test and tune is next weekend (Apr. 3 &4) and the 1st points series race will be Apr. 18. I think I may have a plan for a sleeper OS, but not too sure...

Hi,

Is the LD3 worth laying down in the track or is it just for the parking lot??

Thanks

In a word, yes. Why wouldn't it be?

Nice work Havy

Whoadie, the LD3 can kick ass on the track don't worry

Whoadie

I have this car. This car is only good for the parking lot.. More like a practice car.

What a waste of time and money..

er? How are you going to ask the question then answer it and say the car is crap?

havy

, I guess I just waisted my money on a second LD3 car for outlaw......

Seriously....look over your setup, I have messed around w/ it and seen the cars handeling can vary greatly just by changing things in the set-up. ...

Your entitled to your opinion, I saw three Ld3's run last sunday, one of which didn't seem to work for the guy no matter what he did, of course I'm sure set-up had alot to do with it. But this same guy running a Mugen drives real well (there are alot of mugens, so set-ups are easier when you get collective input from everyone.)

Spend some time on the track and get the right spare parts to adjust for your track, I'm sure the car won't dissapoint you.

And read through the posts here, this is where I got my collective knowledge about tips and tricks

again, thanks to all you guys for the help...learning to love this car more and more.

OK, I may have asked this b4, but here it goes...

In the mad mad rebuild I installed the front sway bars. However, while I see the little adjuster 'knob' on the left side of the car, I'm not sure which way maked the bar do what. is 10 o'clock neutrat? Hard? Soft? What?

I gota figure it out, because the front end now has tons o grip. I'm working with oversteer here, and I haven't got to replacing teh diff oil yet!

Whoadie

Like I said. This car is a waste of money.. Low end car for me.. At first I was thinking it might be close to the TC3 so I decided to buy one. Come to think of it the TC3 was also garbage..

This is why I just decided to stick with my S705 and R40.

Engine and Suspension Tuning provides good results but hell with the LD3..
