Mad Mike EP82 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Posted January 15, 2013 Love this! Definitely my style of a GT! Was wondering what sort of damper rates do you normally set for track use? Depends on track and tyres really but for my car on Dunlop rally tyres front 12 clicks hard and rear 6 clicks (DRY). Try different settings as well as tyre pressures see what you find best. Quote
Chris_14a Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Nice looking gt was looking for somthing like this before I got the glanza. Glad to see your putting it to work properly . Wish there was more sprint stuff around the north west Quote
Amjad Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Thanks for that! Is that out of 15 in hardness? Is there a reason to run softer in the back? I'm guessing because the rear ends are twitchy? I ran it quite hard on the back of my NA and the rear snapped on me at Donington Quote

I'm guessing because the rear ends are twitchy? I ran it quite hard on the back of my NA and the rear snapped on me at Donington No worries . I've found softer on the rear gives a more neutral steering it tends to 4 wheel slide rather than snap sideways. Trial and error takes time...... but its what suits your driving style. I will let you know what adjustment i've got. Quote
Amjad Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Ah I see! My NA was only used on track once, and the rear stepped out a few times as I think it was too stiff maybe. My GT only had braces and springs when I used it on track and although it didn't handle anywhere near as well, it did slide through the corners (albeit with a fair bit or roll) nicely. I'm hoping when I transfer the coilovers and ARBs etc from the NA>GT it'll have the handling characteristics I'm after! Quote

The upper rear brace on my spec list is above the rear strut brace I think you have the same 1. Also did you weld plates in for your roll cage? Quote
