Nice video, thanks for running through the setup.

[@TheOldsmobeast]

Thank you! I’m probably due for an updated one though, as quite alot has changed

[@SD70ACE-]

Very nice setup and attention to detail.. well done Sir. Keep the videos coming..

[@TheOldsmobeast]

[@LayGandhi]

Awesome bro! Your videos are well done 👍

[@TheOldsmobeast]

Thanks man!! Appreciate it!

[@censored1360]

Awesome break down, cant wait for the suspension upgrade video. What are you thinking about getting?

[@TheOldsmobeast]

Thanks! I have my own rear suspension setup designed, so once I finish making the prototype setup it will go on the car. Once tested and sorted it will be for sale as a kit over at Gorman Performance Engineering. Hopefully this coming winter I will have a front suspension kit designed and ready to test as well.

@@TheOldsmobeast Wow that would be awesome

[@ninja88warrior]

Love it!
How does it ride on the street with this suspension and wheel/tire set up? Pretty hard?

[@TheOldsmobeast]

Thanks! It’s definitely noticeable on the street. The stiffness comes from the sprint/shock package, which is something I have optimized for track performance, at the cost of comfort on the street. Wheel and tire wise its fine, it follows the grooves in the road a bit but I believe that’s more to do with the alignment, as it did the same thing with narrower tires

[@ninja88warrior]

Thanks! I would have thought going that wide would eliminate any kind of wander but I imagine the car is a little front heavy eh?

[@TheOldsmobeast]

@@ninja88warrior typically going to a very wide wheel/tire will make it want to follow the road more than a narrower one. And its 54% front weight so not too bad

@@TheOldsmobeast ah gotcha, makes sense! Thanks for the info guy!
