#227: Re: Macs rally 206 project..Rally video footage page 12 Author: macj, Location: EssexPosted: Sun Feb 13, 2011 11:40 am ---- Standard ride height.... I would raise one spline for gravel/forest
#228: Re: Macs rally 206 project..Rally video footage page 12 Author: EdCherry, Location: WiltshirePosted: Sun Feb 13, 2011 1:13 pm ---- Exit of the pit lane though yep?
The rears arn't locked so assume it was in the process of pulling it (although highly doubt the photographer was that lucky!), which will make the back squat anyway, with a bit of throttle it will lift the front end too. Id say that there is nothing wrong other than the fact its probably a bit soft.
Whats your setup?
#229: Re: Macs rally 206 project..Rally video footage page 12 Author: macj, Location: EssexPosted: Sun Feb 13, 2011 2:08 pm ---- Standard torsion bar settings height wise, Standard 138 ARB and Gaz custom uprated shocks.. set approx 55%
#230: Re: Macs rally 206 project..Rally video footage page 12 Author: EdCherry, Location: WiltshirePosted: Sun Feb 13, 2011 4:12 pm ---- Standard bars too?

Here's a pic of mine from the front end on a hairpin.You can see the inside rear lifting which means the outside rear has the full weight on it so will be compressing the wheel up into the arch. With the lighter rear end in a rally car, you can't always assume thicker ARBs will fix things as they will just cause the inside to lift more. I'd be experimenting with different torsion bars too. If you can get a few different ones then a decent mechanic with you who can swap them quick enough, you'll see what results you get on the test day.
#232: Re: Macs rally 206 project..Rally video footage page 12 Author: macj, Location: EssexPosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 11:28 am ---- My inside rear does not lift at all...... not even on really tight bends

#238: Re: Macs rally 206 project.. Test Day booked Author: macj, Location: EssexPosted: Wed Feb 16, 2011 3:51 pm ---- Tell him to buy a power probe...... I think you may be right about the negative feed..... I built mine from scratch and built a fuse board with a relay for the indicators..... that said, I think your sparky should suss it out, Find the common feed to the switch and put power to it... then find the power outs from the switch wiring with lights, fogs and flashers etc.
