Not my first one, but first one with the goat.

I'll make sure to post up results and pics when they become available

What have you done with suspension/brakes? What tires?

Puddy46 04-14-2007 11:34 PM

Right now she's bone stock, right down to the tires. I want to learn the car before I start to improve it. Possibly this summer some stickier tires and a new front sway bar will be added, but most importantly I need to tighten up the nut behind the wheel!

BonneMeMN 04-15-2007 04:11 AM

Front sway bar instead of the rear? If anything that'll change the balance towards push more (unless you're getting a softer one, but a stiffer rear > softer front)
I'm sure you'll do atleast corvette brake pads, if not new calipers or a BBK eventually....

Good luck!

Puddy46 04-15-2007 08:08 AM

The reason for the doing the front is because if you do the rear, it'll knock me out of a stock class and put me into the street tire class, where i will get my ass handed to me

Puddy46 04-15-2007 06:25 PM

Ok, got back from the event, and I got smoked :shock:. The course was set up so that you could take a certain part of the course in either direction (it was a loop), and unfortunately I went the slow way, except for my last run, where I went off course somewhere. Don't ask where, cause I really don't know. There was another GTO there that took the class and beat me by about 4 seconds. Hopefully next time I'll get this thing sorted out and be competitive (and it won't be rainy and crappy out either).

Next week should be better :D

Moving to the Lounge. Not Bonneville related.

Just remember, You're RWD. Brake late and power through.
