So would you say that this shim gave you more pivot through the corner? Did you notice any difference in putting the power down on the loose parts of the track?

the shim acted in the same way as lentheniong any buggy would ie more pivot but slightly less rear end coming out of a corner. as it was helping me to square up quicker the slight less on rear end traction wasnt an issue

What's your view on the new shocks?

Tom, how do you like your car to 'feel'?
Looking at your set-up it looks like a steering monster Why no pre-compression spring on the rear? I'm hoping to come over to Southport on Sunday, we'll have a chat

From what I can remember James Chappells set-up from York Regional is as follows:
Front New Shocks Kit pistons 30wt oil 5.5t springs Castor all the way back (Original Upper wishbones) 1 degree toe in 1 degree camber wishbones level for ride height Rear New shocks Kit piston 40wt oil Green associated front spring 2 degree toe in 1 degree camber 1 degree anti squat plate wishbones level for ride height Schumacher Yellow Minispike tyres, Outer and inner row removed from fronts If there is any changes to this I'll edit it later.

hi northy... i like my car to have a touch of understeer, as it is if i use new tires if very hard not to grip role because it does steer like a monster ... but thats why i use worn tires, and it goes great! if you do come to southport on sunday your more than welcome to have a go with it and see what you think. as for not using the precompression springs on the back, i just copied nathans shock set up for the big bores as closely as i could and left the rest of the car how it was hopefully see you on sunday Tom

I thought it would be a steering monster on new tyres!
I must admit I used worn tyres at Southport National last year and the car was dialed Dan X-God Greenwood remembers just how worn they were to this day! G

Mine is getting to the point now that the spikes are virtually gone and the actual tire is getting a bit thin, might be due a new set in three or four weeks

The York setup was used when it was sunny with high grip. It was a flat grass track with some big features [jumps].
