Do you have a rear sway bar upgrade yet? That would help you get rotation and deal with the understeer. I've had a pretty easy time beating more than one Type-R I've seen at my local events.
I have stock wheels/tires, stock sway bars, and I regularly see top 20-30 out of average of 80 entrants. What tires do you run? I use the Michelin PS4Ss and they seem to do a great job for me and the weather conditions in the NW.
wow nice info. I posted my autocross lap on my site Www.PaulsCrossfire.com. I don't know if it works on mobile phone as mine does not show it. My other videos r at www.PaulsPorsche.com on top menu select our racing machines. The nos purge video is there. My Porsche split screen with crossfire race video. Porsche won by 0.344 writing from memory. This was 3 seconds from 2020 lap record at Moroso at the time. Best crossfire result out of 50 car was 7th Porsche was 5th.
Let me leave a contribution here. I have the full adjustable front control arms posted on the forum under my user name psuperti. It had bad rep. But in years now, answer is locktight blue and inspect it before track day.
The adjustable rear shock is a must. it's night and day difference on the road. Having said that, my lowering springs are the lowest on the market from Intrax.
The sway bar f&r gave the car a go kart feel. You have to re-inforce the welding on the rear.
I tried both federal tires the last model on my homepage and the new. When losing grip on corner accelaration all I could do was to add air in increments to 35 psi. Use hawk claw if it continues.
My car runs hot. Add more fans to run while in line waiting. All the guys open the hood ... I added oil and coolant coolers that look like radiators. My hood is vented and super easy to do $35 tool and glue $40 vents on ebay (pic on my homepage). My new headlight design I'm making out of carbon fiber and foam have one blower in each. The headlight itself lets air pass through. See prototype #2 pic. My thread making a cf crossfire has prototype #1. The point is cool off the car. I would touch the area around the bat/ecu and hood latch. I would burn myself, now I'm also using the Valveline vr race from Autozone ($8 quart).
Loose the weight. I set aside my magnaflow cat back for a small $17 cherry bomb. Seats, battery all 100lbs and more gone. Wallmart has a $50 battery I been using. Its 22lbs. My Optima was 37lbs...
Lastly for now, I picked up a Amazon $59 fuel cell and ran the hose from the tank to the pump. Split to oem line, than fuel cell. Than 2nd pump to shredder valve. I have every mod but those expensive ported parts and cams etc. The engine was starving for fuel.
I have here a box to try from JOM ground controls. I bought it to try and accommodate my tire rubber.
I have to start an Autocross / race page on my site. To talk Bridgestone tires my 13 lbs seat, 11 lbs battery and new all carbon fiber roof. I did start a The Racing Club by Superti Racing in Palm Beach Florida if you are around (for guys to work on the cars together) check www.PaulsPorsche.com
finally, I fixed a bunch of rear suspension noise that I thought was from lowering back in 2005 or bump stop. With the Autozone $23 Energy sway bar bushings. Turns out one of mine RR was disconnecting from the car. It was a bit hard to fit on over the 2 chassis boots. But my car hasn't been this capable on road imperfections since 2005.

This is the cheapest coilovers on the internet. JOM from Ebay, about, $400. I want to keep my adjustable koni struts but use this height adjusters and springs.
There were no instructions,. How do you put these front ones together?
