Default Re: A long and winding tale

The trashing comment was frustration talking. If my work picks up the Eibachs and Koni's will be coming out and coilovers going in, but don't hold your breath. I need new tires soon, a BBK is on the way and the budget is already broken. (Bmorgan, you'll get first crack at them)

From my last track day I learned a few things. I'm as fast as anybody on the straights, I'm getting killed under braking by the better cars, and my car is pitiful in the esses. And I pushed it enough in the esses to almost loose it and pushed it under braking until I melted the pads and boiled the fluid. I have Motul 600, Stoptech's with Carbotech pads on the way. Now I have to fix this suspension gremlin. I assume I found the reason for the sudden lack of grip at the limit. We'll see. I intend to fix this problem before next weekend when I have another event on a slower curvier track. I'll keep this updated so fellow Crossfire owners can learn from my persistence.
