Here are some custom bumpers that I made back when I first started driving the car a while ago, but never ended up posting. In this one, you can also see how I converted the 5th body post.

Since I have seen a lot of posts regarding lost dogbones, I thought that I would show what I did to find them quickly just in case I break my car (but we know thats not going to happen, right:lol: .) I just stretched some bright fuel tubing onto the dogbone shaft.

Originally posted by InitialD That's what I heard some have tried. I found yellow to be very forgiving on the 710 unlike the heavier 705. Using red springs on the 710, you need reasonable traction with lower shore tires. What I also found is that the car works very nice when the shocks are stood up more. This is on yellow springs. |

Originally posted by Brightbluehaze Duh, I am an idiot LOL, just took apart the shocks to check them and one of the e-clips from the top of the piston had come loose on the front left shock so there was no dampening! This explains the erratic behavior due to "weight transfer"! Good to know that you found the problem. Let us know how it goes after Wednesday.:D |
Originally posted by Proficar403 Here is the "double slot" that I put in the diff, combined with the longer pins in the rear dogbones (next post) and some grease on the pins, the new slots held up great and showed no wear whatsoever. This is probably the worst of my pics, but you can get what I'm talking about. |

you need to shut down some on power weight transfer and rear bite. it looks like you tried to do it with the shocks but you need to use spring. change the rear roll center to upper inner on the top arm and upper on the lower. go to a red rear spring. front shocks 2 holes open and full open on the rear. Lay the front shocks down to the middle hole and put the front sway bar on flat. stiffen the rear sway bar to 8MM from the end of the bar. set the front 198 and the rear 200. loosen the rear diff to meduim max. the car should steer on power and be neutral given the rest of your setup on an medium to low bite track with that body. back the rear toe off as much as you can and reduce the front toe to +1. the stiff rear springs and rear roll center change are important. be sure to remember to move the drs arm up to when you change the lower arm |
Originally posted by InitialD Contrary to what you may think, I believe Rene might also be in the same direction as you guys... :sneaky: I don't know how he is modifying the servo saver though... Watchout for the upcoming Japanesse RRR version. Their Geometri looks very much convincing, their upper suspension part in prooven already (you know:D ) |

I had some help from a friend :)
My car is working very well. I put it in 2 a mains right out of the box I ran the mazda 6 but did not like it that well.(good high speed rear traction, not so good at low speed with the wing cut to legal height) the RD stratus works better or the old proto stratus. the RD's just more aero and very well balanced. I have suspected the servo saver being to soft. plan to shim the spring a MM to stiffen mine. |

I believe PSI Racing gave a very good posting on the reply he got from Protoform regarding the Madza 6. Julius has also gave some of his input by mounting the Mazda 6 about 2 mm (not 2 cm :lol: ) further to the front and made a lot of difference in handling... |
