SE-R Cup in Midwest?? Setup ?'s

ohioboy · 02-24-2005, 10:25 PM

Does anyone have any interest in running SE-R Cup in the midwest? I think one guy ran last year at m.o. I think I'll get it out this year for both SCCA and NASA. I've got an old SSB/ITS/now A car that I haven't run the last couple of years due to a lack of available time and would like to try NASA this year. It seems you can get quite a bit of track time there.

The car ran decent in SCCA, but was obviously never a class winner. I went through a few iterations of spring rates, sway bars and alignments, however never really got enough understeer out to satisfy me. I really should have spent more time testing then.

I'd have to check my notes (if I can find them), but I think I as running 450F/350R, -2degF/-1degR, 1/16" out F/0 rear. What are the east coast guys running? Thanks

what shocks were you running? bushings? how was the cage?

i know with 8611s or AD shocks, 600F/500R or 550R is a pretty hot setup, i am not sure the rates for the guys not running front sway bars, but this is another hot setup.

Koni 8611's front (the double adjustable) and 8610's rear (rebound only), spherical bearing-type pillow blocks in camber plates, urethane bushings, autopower cage sleeved and welded

which valving are the rears?

don't know specifically which valving, they're the 8610-1149 inserts

according to koni at 13.00"/sec they're 187# in compression and adj from 187 to 425# rebound

okay, i would run some 450F/400R for that then. that's what a lot of people with milder 8611 valving are running (i think its the standard rates for the shig's). order some 375's and 425's while you're at it and swap them out if they turn out to plow or a oversteering monster...

are you running progress bars?
