slight detour from the engine.
I bought new tyres and went from a 215/40/17 to a 215/54/17 on the front.
Which was enough to make the tyre touch the spring plates.
I had planned to fit coil overs at some point, so this just bought it forward.
I used some weld on sleeves to convert a spare set of legs with Koni sport Yellows.
The lesson I learned, Pay more attention to sway bar link rod geometry.
Basically in the rush two days before race day, I made the link rod too short and got the position on the mount on the front strut too far forward. the result was the link rod and bar would almost become parallel and any further steering lock would result in the link pulling up on the bar and the bar would go from resisting roll to inducing roll resulting in instant over steer, which spun me twice.
We managed a hack fix on the day by moving the link rod from the stiffest setting to the softest setting on the sway bar. The over steer was gone and I had 8 laps to get a handle on the car. With the hack fix and alignment setting carried over from the setup used with stock spring/shocks I PB'd dropping from a previous best of 45.15 down to a 44.68.
We have come up with an idea to cure the link geometry problem which we'll get done before the next race.
Then I can aim for some consistency int he current setup, then start tuning shock and sway settings
