And yo never messaged for a catchup. :negative:  I'm trying for Superlap again this year because my son is mad for it and wants to come back to Sydney for it.

 

 

I started after nick sold it, my midas boss bought it and sent me there to work with performance cars  :)

I don't know if you know Nick's story but he's been around high performance builds for many years.

Thank you Matt :) because of all the love you've been giving my lib, I think should you come up for the qld matsuri in October I'll take you out in it :)

Rusty, did you start working at autoworks after Nick sold the business or just before?

 

What dates? I have a feeling my cousin Alex may be participating aswell.....so very possibly

Matt, about time you got up here. Hardly any of you NSW blokes get up here.

I wouldn't worry much about roll bars and links, just a decent set of coil overs. BC's are pretty good for the money, with front 10kg and rear 8kg spring rates.

By the time you've spent on roll bars and links you could put the extra money to a set of BC's. They are surprisingly compliant with those rates but if you know someone I'd go for a ride first to see if you like it.

I'm running a set of Apexi struts that MCA have completely rebuilt recently and this is a setup they recommend as a good start.

Alignment of 3.5deg camber (maybe 2.5 if it's to remain a streeter) with neutral toe and max caster(again caster not entirely nesessary). Rear Neutral and around 1.5deg camber.

DS2500 on the front and rear and a cheap set of RDA's upfront. I find RDA's last better than DBA's as well. Cool down essential as I've pitted with the bastards on fire. They kept braking though.

As Jase and a few of the boys have mentioned fluid is key too as is bearing grease especially as you are running Semi's.

There a few more minor tricks but that should get you into happy fun times.
