Who do you guy's use?. I need to get the Radical's suspension sorted out pretty quickly.

I was hoping I could get Gary from Selby suspension to do it but I'm running out of time and he's a hard man to get a hold of.

I really don't want a street car guy doing it,,,,I'm after someone that actually knows how to set up a race car that I can sit down and talk to about it.

I'll try to find out for you who my brother went to on the weekend if you like. The guy does the setup for some of the Porsche Cup cars. I think he is at Taren Point

Racetige is owned and opperated by Nick who used to work for Dave at East coast suspension.

He is very good at what he does and has a good turn around time.

East coast are also very good at what they do but very pricey for the same service (yes Ive used both)

Heasmans are good but for what Neil wants they are not the best place to go to I don't think.

Garry is a very hard man to catch now days Neil but I will be seeing him shortly if you dont get in contact.

Do you know how you want the car weighted Neil and what allignment/ geometry your after??

I have a set of scales (proper ones) and bump steer guages if you want to have a go yourself.

Thanks for the feed-back boys,,,much appreciated.

Duncan has been organizing Garry,,,who would be my 1st pick,,,only because I know him and trust him.

Brad if you talk to him could you get him to ring me on .

I'll ring both ECS and Ractige on Monday and see what they say.

Heasman's are not what I would consider a race car orriented shop. I know they wouldn't give me the time to set-up the car that I need.

Brad,,,thanks for the offer but I'm not going to play with something I really only have a limted amount of knowledge about.

Funny I played last year with the rear set-up and made improvements ,,,but I know I'm gonna stuff it up soon.

I have all the factory setup specs of which I would like to have set and then have a talk about what we can do about improving it.

The Radical has a very different front sway bar than any other car which needs someone to sit down and think about.

It uses what Radical call a "Nic" link sway bar system which uses bell cranks and stuff that most scratch there heads about.

I agree with you about heasmans.

Nick has been around open wheelers a fair bit so should be able to steer you in the right direction with the radical. But what he has learn has also come from east coast who are also very good.

Comes down to which place you get the better vibe from I guess.

I should see garry tommorrow or at least talk with him.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
