Surfer,My best is 2min 11.8, which is not world beating by any means but quick enough to put a grin on my face, and still be confident of driving the thing home without any damage (except to the tyres and brakes )Most, if not all of the other cars are running on r-spec tyres. The only fellow on standard road tyres was a nice guy in a Skyline GTST turbo jap-import thing who pipped me by .6 of a second by the end of the day. The i30 held it's head up proud!
30kg WOW!
Hey guys, I have no experience with suspension mods but have a reasonable grasp of the theory and and I'm wondering what you will be hoping to gain from stiffening the front bar.Will you not be in danger of negating the newly found more neutral balance gained by stiffening the rear bar? I'm seriously thinking of doing the rear bar but touching the front seems to be the wrong option.Someone?
in most of the cars I've owned I've beefed up the front sway bar and it took away the understeer [but they were rear wheel drive cars] would you get more understeer in a front wheel drive car with a bigger front bar? the i30 is the first car I've owned that is front wheel drive. a larger rear bar takes away oversteer and some understeer.
Interesting thought bobbyd...The auto wrecker not far from my workplace has a totalled i30. I will get a price on the front bar from them this week. If the cost of this bar is reasonable, I could send it to Sydney to be the template for a thicker bar to be manufactured. Would there be any interest from fellow i30 members in approaching Todd Selby (yes, as in Selby Swaybars of old) at Signature Swaybars for a multiple-purchase price of front bars?
LOL welded diff... bad.. VERY BAD... massive understeer inducer, then an oversteer monster!
