Congrats!!

apparently you were beating GTR's??

that is correct......they might have had the faster car on the straight but they were no match for the FTO on the corners
fastest car on the day were the Group A race cars 1.04 , GTR 35 1.07, full track cars were sitting on 1.07-1.09, turbo charged cars 1.14- 1.19 and R31's doing 120.00 - 137.00

What mods have you done to your beast?

woulda thought the GTR would have it by far, they must of all been bone stock - a modified 2.6L twin turbo would rape the FTO hard on any straight, and AWD would mean theyre not TOO far behind in the corners..
Good job though

believe it or not, none, its not modified, I do have semi slick tyres and really good brakes which made a difference on the day, the GTR's that were in my catagory were stock standard, the modified ones were in the 3ltr class. the modified GTRS were doing 1.07-1.09. I was in the 2ltr class

Great result, well done .

Congratulations!
What semis do you run?
And you're saying suspension is stock?

Great job

1:14's a good time on semi's.

it has tein coil overs and runs toyo 888 semi slicks

Stock swaybars?

What are your alignment settings?

spetz wrote:Stock swaybars?

What are your alignment settings?

sway bars are standard but have been re bushed
Cusco front and rear under body cradle
front rear and floor strut base

I will look for the alignment settings and if you send me your fax or address I will forward them to you (computer print out sheet)

the car performed beyond our expertations and was the talk of the day. I will be investing in some bigger brakes as I do think they are needed. my next race day will be at Sandown VIC in November

Actually, still commonly used in most businesses. Go back and update your facebook page.....

What do you mean fax?

Actually if you type your alignment settings here it would be appreciated.
Mostly interested in camber settings (front and rear) and toe settings

I work for the government (read: technologically slower that private sector), and we still hardly use a fax!

this is based on Wakefield Park which has a lot of right hand corners:-
front camber LH -01.66 deg RH -01.05 deg
front castor LH +00.83 deg RH +00.88 deg
toe settings both front LH and RH -0.1mm


rear camber LH -01.63 deg RH -01.67 deg
rear caster nil
toe settings both rear LH and RH +2.5mm

rear set back +00.30 deg

U sure you've got them around the right way?

2.5mm toe out on the rear would see you oversteering all over the place.

On a front wheel drive you generally run toe out on the front and toe in on the rear.
