I figured that with 1841 on the clock, it was time to stop babying this 'V'.:26:

From a dead stop I rung the bell; at 6.2K (rpm) I hit second and shot for the limiter. Only reached 6K before stuffing third. Now entering a 20º right turn and still pulling I started to overstear. Jammed 4th and came off with excessive body roll.

In-and-out-of-it: too top heavy and toooo narrow.

I need blindsnyper's undercarriage set up!!!!:biggrinjester:

These babies handle well with a decent setup. I have 18" rims, sports springs, rear sway and front strut brace and I can corner at blindingly fast speeds!

 

[superskunk]

if i were you i would start with lowering springs, strut bar, rims and tires and go from there... it will surprise you how well the car handles after those few minor upgrades...

Agreed! If you have all the suspension mods, it should make a decent AutoX car.

We did a cruise up in Boulder canyon in the mountains just west of here at a local Nissan meet. That was fun as hell, would love to do that again. We're thinking about doing one next summer, all the way up to Pikes Peak!

Lots of great ideas, thanks for the help.

Rear and front strut bars should stiffin these soft unibodies.

BUT!!! Safety first; has anyone installed a rear disc set up or big break conversion?

Also, what's the tested and proven rim offsets and tire widths. I hope to increase my stance.

I like my marshmallow ride . Bob at versaspeed has rear disc and a bunch of guys in Malaysia too. Specifics on the rear disc is very vague.

Please keep me informed about the Pike's Peak run!!

I don't intend to knock my kidney stones loose, just tame the body roll.

Bob is trying to figure how to make this so you can either buy it in a kit or just go out and buy the pieces

i have the same with a +38mm offset. i think it was blind and atx who worked a lot with spacers...

 

[jokir]

I'd rather use offset to move the tire placement. I only used spacers when racing oval track (on the outside tires).
