Looking for setup

(1/4) > >>

Lenny:
My son is 160 lbs and drives a 37 Sedan.  His car is very loose in the corners and appears to about to have the right rear swing out to the right in the middle and on the exist of the 1/3 track.  Can someone recommend a setup that we could try?  We are thing of adding more weight on the left side.  Our tire pressure is 18's on left and 23 on right.

Thanks

Lenny,
 Check the thread "A good start", also try Loosenuts Racing site. Some good info on setup.

Have you squared the rear end?   What springs do you have and what are your scale numbers?  Assuming there are no major setup boo boos, my first guess would be that you are trailing the RR.  Make sure your rear housing is square to the chassis.  It is likely that you will need to shorten the RR radius rod.  But watch your wheel base numbers.  You may need to lengthen the LR radius rod instead.  Here's a how to link  http://www.kevscorner.com/Home/RearSquaring.htm

My Second guess would be that you need more cross.

Third guess would be both.

The guy at the following web address has a good setup manual.

My son weight is about the same ( 165 lbs. ), the front springs we believe are to heavy ( 275RF, 250LF ) so we're going to 225RF and 200LF...I'd have to check the log book to see what are last tire presuure was.

Darkage,

250 LF and 275 RF is a VERY common setup. If you feel this is making the car too tight for you, i would recommend a slight wedge adjustment first. What cross are you running? you should be in the 49.2-49.8 % range. Also, what are you running in the rear? I would not try the 200 LF 225 RF as it will make the car scary loose on exit. Feel free to try it, but that is what I have seen in the past. If you must change to lower front springs, I would go in baby steps, such as 225 250 first.
