Originally posted by Julius Compared to the 705 it seems you can get away with using at least one step harder tires to get the same grip levels. Anyway, I also noticed that the 710 does not roll so much even with no front antiroll bars and soft suspension setup (i.e. yellow springs with 30wt oil and 4 or 5 holes open). This was evident from the no scratches I got going in on our high speed sweeper from the relatively low pipe which was almost level with the chassis. With last weekend's run, running 37 shore front (Speedmind) and 40 shore rear (Sato Seiki which is actually made by Speedmind also) made the front and rear wear consistant all the way ! I started with the front being 1.5 mm smaller than the rear. After about 7 tanks or so, tire wear was like 2 mm only for the front and rear !:eek: |
Originally posted by Julius I change left to right about halfway, If you don't you're looking at about 45 minutes before the outside get's too small. You could of course reset the ride height and run them a little smaller but That is not something I want to do as it would compromise the objective of the test (finding a setup that works with big and small tires) |

why's the disguise on the 710?....oh,I get it......looks like a wolf..Heart of a lamb....that lamb better not knock into the corral wall.....those legs(uh,I mean pivotballs and arms) look a bit fragile...... once again proving,you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear...... |

Originally posted by Julius What diameter were the new tires? Large tires will flex more = flip more. Firming the rear sway bar makes things worse as you decrease rear grip = more turn in = more flipping. Changing to a lower front roll center is more productive. Only lowering the ride height is not enough when changing tire sizes. You'll need to adjust the downstop as well. Every mm tire size change = 0.5mm downstop change. Actually I try to get a setup that works with new down to small tires without changing spring or downstop settings. This makes for a good car during finals and long runs. I've posted my setup I'm currently using in Heemstede on Mytsn. BTW I cant seem to find your setup on mytsn. How do I search for it? Team Driver huh? :sneaky: |

Originally posted by cyba888 As far as downstop goes, with new tires ( larger diameter) do I increase or decrease the downstop?

Originally posted by dino.tw hehehe.....Don't cry man. You are no the only one. Have you saw mine 950R flipping out and sticking on the railing? That just is real f**king damn catastrophe.....:cry: Our track has extremely well traction and high speed. And almost U-turns all over there. You may need to use brake "before" you enter the high speed corner to let your car slow down a bit. Have you saw a F1 without using brake then rush into the backstraight end corner? Only A.Senna dare to do that but....:cry: Touring car flipping is not thing special. When next time you see three 1/8s entering the corner at the same time and all flip out toghther,you will stop crying and start to laugh.:lol: :D :lol: Wanna to see that? Join the next sunday race. Only NT$500 entry fee but you will learn more and fast. I can help you to setup your car. (But you need to occupy a seat for me that we can sit together. I always wake up too late... :blush: :D ) Listen to Julius's and Paolo M's suggestion,they are real team drivers. Don't listen to me,I may know engine but don't know car set-up.:lol: |
Originally posted by InitialD New tires are about 66 mm in diameter. Take for example the stock 710 setup of 62 mm tires with a ride height of 6 mm and a front and rear droop of 0 and 7 respectively, you need to change and add +2 [(66-62)/2] to the front and rear droop i.e. +2 front and +9 in the rear on the droop scale if you use the new 66 mm tires and reset the ride height to 6 mm. That would mean decrease in chassis uptravel but increase in the droop scale. You could also go to setups on the side bar of the main page. His is there under his surname Kolff. http://www.mytsn.com/setups/setup.asp?sid=2340 Just to making sure how you got the number 2? You posted [(66-62)/2]. So does that mean 66-62=4 divided by 2=2? Just making sure :) |
How do you guys measure ride height? What I do is compress the car a bit and then measure it but sometimes its a bit off when I measure it repeatedly. Do you just lift the car up and put it down without compressing the shocks or do you need to push the car down until it bottoms out? Whats suppose to be the correct way?
