So we went autocrossing again this weekend. I would call it okay, nothing broke, but the driving was only okay for the wife and I. I also keep forgetting my damn GoPro.
I ran a 45.1, 7th raw time, 18th in PAX
, out of 67. I was far behind drivers that I would expect to be close too.
Excuses:
Brakes
I changed the front brake pads over to HP+ like the rear. This threw the balance off and I kept locking up the front tires because I don't know how to drive without ABS apparently. Therefore, I kept missing corners.
Torsen Rearend
The car has also been on the loose side, but that's kind of how I like it. The extra lock of the rear, or maybe the extra caster in the front, has made it looser. I spun twice.
Solutions:
Brake proportioning valve to try and balance the braking.
Remove rear sway bar (all the big dogs don't run a rear bar). Should increase rear traction.
Those are the only immediate changes I have planned at this point.
The wife drove the white car slower than expected too. I'm not sure why, it has a bigger front sway bar in it now but that makes the car feel better to me. She is still figuring it out a little.
Picture from the weekend, wife is in her car.
