The track being concrete also made it very slippery as well in some corners where you have paved asphalt and concrete transitions.

Hope to see y'all at LCMT at the end of the month

Have you tried that track in a snowstorm? With Chris R riding shotgun? Now that is a slippery slope! good to hear it is running well. I have done a 911 and a 951 engine in the last year. I feel the pain, but share the pleasure, fifty shades of 'pay'!

One more thing ... i put the car on the scales tonight and i'm happy to report that i managed to shed nearly 300 lbs of unwanted weight !
Last year it weighed in at 2980 lbs with a half tank of fuel and now it's down
to 2702 with half a tank .... Woooohoooooo

I need to level the scales properly and do another corner balance,oh well !

Cheers
Phil

Thank you Carm !

The car is already techd' and i just have a few little electrical things to iron out.One problem is that the car went up one inch at all corners due to the weight loss !
Debating whether to corner balance it again and go for another alignment or just finish off the season as is because i'm changing tire sizes next year and it will need another corner balance and alignment ... lol

Cheers
Phil

Nice!

Gotta say, a box end wrench, a keen eye and a ball of string has never stopped you before - I say Corner Balance away!



Cheers

I would leave it as is for the Aug event to get a feel for it but I would consider tweaking it after the Aug event for the Sept event to try and have a known setup for next season. Your tire size change may not affect the alignment if the overall wheel diameter does not change much.

Carm,

If i lower it to my standards it will change the front and rear toe ... i already have minute toe out in the front,i don't want more and i surely don't want any in the rear !

There's a possibility we might have our RennSpoon coffee house going,i'll probably bring up the generator and we just need to convince Matt to bring his espresso machine

Cheers
Phil

I'm the 1 with the Nespresso machine...Not Matt.
90% sure I will not attend....ear is still ringing and still getting random vertigo.
If you guys want the machine I can leave it with someone. You just need to order some coffee.
