Track Lap RCE springs+plates+sways=fun

Mexitr0n · 11-28-2006, 04:18 PM

The last time I was at the track with cobb sways the car handled really well. Now with the addition of springs, camber plates and a performance alignment, the car is simply perfect at the track for my driving style. Whats great is dialing additional negative camber from the plates and feeling the enhanced turn-in, instant gratification.

The best thing is this, the car is still predictable, forgiving and manageable around the track. Ultimately, the goals for my suspension was something you can throw into the turns and still be stable and confident while accelerating out of the apex.

Green flag driving club requires both front windows open so don't mind all the wind noise. I even had tape over the mic! Also, I didn't tighten my camera mount all the way so don't sweat the rattling.

Enjoy

You have any pictures of the car on plates and springs?

Vikingmoose · 11-28-2006, 05:43 PM

Cool vid. I'm considering this exact setup (RCE springs, RCE plates, F+R sways) if/when I decide to mod the STI.

You said it man, I wish I knew how to drive better too!

I should have been pushing it harder.

Good video, that compression was really grainy though... and the sun REALLY washed it out at times...

What kinda camera are you using?

Mexitr0n · 12-01-2006, 10:47 AM

Man I'm using my stupid normal camera that "takes" quick time movies.

I know it's janky.

www.photoxels.com/minolta-x1.html

It's great at taking photos (10mega pix) but thats it.

Could you please suggest a video camera for me? Maybe one that has a remote to when I'm in the starting grid I'm not using precious battery time?

The drop doesn't look like much more than the Prodrives.
How is the ride in that thang?
Heard the RCE's are the shizz.

STIfreak7 · 12-01-2006, 03:37 PM

Nice vid. I am planning on getting cobb f/r sways before next auto-x season starts, RCE springs would be nice too.

I really like my canon elura 100, it has a remote and some really decent features... I have had no problems with it

The daily ride is not bad at all. When the road is bad the car is bumpy but that how is was stock. For my driving style on the track the springs do quite well. When my driving skills increase I understand the RCE's will still suit me.

You think he's sarcastic here? You should see him in person or at the track for that matter!
