Round 2 Supersprint Entries Open

I have been playing with 2nd and 3rd through the fish hook.
It just so happened the quickest lap was using 3rd.

I struggle with inside wheel spin and i think it might have something to do with either too large a rear sway or lack of rear shock travel (i think this might be it due to adjusting height via shock base).

All slow corners i get inside wheel spin just as if i had a open diff.
Being a torsen i think the inside is lifting and then losing all drive.

Did you use 2nd or 3rd Bryan on the fish hook and Turn 10 in your Na6?

I had a weird issue after the 3rd run.
My exhaust was hanging down low when i pulled back in and somehow the last 2 hangers on the muffler had snapped off just before the Weld.

So after a quick run around and some nice help in the form of metal cable ties and some old speaker wire along with a dusty old coat hanger i got back out there.

I will have to get this all fixed but figuring out how it happened is beating me.

Ah that makes sense.

Or you could try being a little more gentle with the right clog. :wink:

That's how I managed the issue in my stock NA6.

Always 2nd for turns 8 and 10 in the NA6 and 10AE. 3rd is way too tall with the stock gearing. But even with the Torsen in the 10AE, I need to gradually feed in the throttle to avoid understeer.
