Re: 2nd Gear...

Ok, have finished basic break-in on the motor and am now giving it some full throttle (although running very rich).

I can't seem to find second gear. So I made sure it was set at the factory 3 turns out. I believe that its shifting too early and never hitting 1st gear. But even at 2 1/2 and 2 1/4 turns out I'm still not getting any shift. How many turns out are you guys running the stock 2-speed?

For both my kits so far, i have found the stock setting too tight and have had to loosen it off. Try 2 turns.

fastfred 02-29-2004 04:40 PM

So, is that 2 turns out from the bottom, or 5 (the stock 3, plus 2)?

TIA,

Do you have calipers? I can give you the gap between the arm and hub. I'd have to measure when I get home.
mckrooz, I have calipers so that would be very much appreciated! Many thx. :)

I just checked mine and it's at almost 3 turns out. More like 2.90 turns out with an NS5.

Ok, starting with the rear, measured from the bottom of the arm and hub. I forget what my toe-in was. Somewhere around 2.5-3.0 degrees.

Back pivot ball- 3.5mm
Front pivot ball- 2mm
Camber link gap(between the caps)- 13.5mm


Fronts
Top(measured from the top)- 2.5mm
Bottom(measured from the bottom)- 2mm
Camber is around 2 degrees.

Back it 2 turns more than std Start the car and while it's on your starter box, rev the engine. You should definitely hear it change. Then you can start making adjustments from there. I've found each car to be slightly different

Thanks, will try that out.

I've also been running it as rich as it'll run, so it may not be hitting enough rpms to switch it yet. Later this week I'm going to start leaning it out. Zoommmm.

Shock Length
 
OK, I am putting together a new kit, Isold my old one and I can't remember what the lenght of my shocks were. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Speed De 03-01-2004 09:37 AM

10x can you tell me something about droop settings. The original settings are for 66mm tires so if I have 63mm now should I decrease the droop by 3mm after I readjust the ride height
