'11 AutoX thread Reply #45 – September 05, 2011, 07:16:30 PM What IRS are you running? 1999-2004 Cobra? I'm really interested to know. Cool car and congratulations on such great times! Quote Selected
'11 AutoX thread Reply #46 – September 05, 2011, 07:31:26 PM yup, Cobra IRS.Today was good. Decent weather, dry pavement. New-to-me front tires have enough grip to make the car feel a tad loose out back. Might try to tweak a bit here and there, but the car feels good overall.Ended up winning my class for the weekend. I'll put up the results when they are online. Quote Selected

'11 AutoX thread Reply #49 – September 10, 2011, 09:01:41 PM Thanks Chris![COLOR="darkgreen"][SIZE="5"]NEWSFLASH:[/SIZE][/COLOR]Bottoming out the rear suspension WILL cause snap oversteer. Who woulda thunk it?I was contemplating disconnecting the rear swaybar for the next event due to some issues with the back of the car gettin loose in steady state corners. While under the car today I noticed some fresh witness marks on the CV shafts that hadn't been there previously.A lil investigating found the CV'shiznitting the upper control arm at about 1" up travel. Apparently the R-comps are working the suspension a bit more than in the past :hick:When I built the rear suspension I cycled everything to decide how to mount my shocks, but thinking back, I'm not 100% sure I had the CV's in place at that time. So I checked the shock travel, and sure as shiznit I wasn't even close to the bumpstops.Spent a lil quality time with the grinder against the upper control arm and gained a full inch of up travel w/o changing anything else. Guess I'll leave that swaybar on there.... Quote Selected

'11 AutoX thread Reply #51 – September 11, 2011, 11:14:50 AM No rubber bushings anywhere on my car. The IRS sub is poly front mount, and solid rear mount. Control arms are Delrin. Diff mounts are poly Quote Selected

Do you mean the tires are working the suspension enough to cause the IRS components to interfere?What spring rates are you running? Quote Selected
'11 AutoX thread Reply #53 – September 12, 2011, 06:13:23 AM Yup. Remember though, my upper control arm mounts have been cut off the subframe and relocated. That modification "required" the use of aftermarket control arms which I opted out of.00 CobraR coils Quote Selected
'11 AutoX thread Reply #54 – September 12, 2011, 12:16:11 PM I think you were better off staying with the stock uppers, even if you had to mod them a bit. BTW, did you head out to Putnam Park this weekend? :p Quote Selected
'11 AutoX thread Reply #55 – September 12, 2011, 05:00:36 PM agreed on the uppers.I soooo thought about goin out there Quote Selected

'11 AutoX thread Reply #57 – September 12, 2011, 09:55:57 PM This weekend I finalize my cp standings for the year. Nobody can beat me now, lol. Course was really challenging this weekend and there were lots of coneshiznit. I had problems in one spot with my car doing the snap oversteer thing, but thanks to a picture, I found out what was really happening. I was loosing the grip off the inside rear tire and causing it to slide out. It was through a bumpy area too to make things worse! Quote Selected
