Fury corner weighted and set up *** Now with Pics! AND Diffuser started
Been over to Steves today and we set up the car for road useage.
Corner weighted it up too, from memory was a 57/43 split so not far off 60/40 there.
Got it down to 0.3 out on the diagonals after a bit of playing about.
Steve will hopefully put in his input as im not that clued up really,
.
Best bit was car weighed 460kg with approx 10 kg of fuel.
Steve, car is still going on this tank of fuel too, i dont want to go fill it up, thats 230miles so far.
ps Steve, chhhheeeerrrreeeerrrreeeees mate, your a star and thanks for dinner too.
Tapanyaki at mine next time you up here.

Can you feel the difference? It made a big improvment to mine when I did it. Have you still got the same front shocks and springs on? Do those weights
include you?
I've got 46% to 54% front to rear split and 49% to 51% left to right split (that'll improve once I loose the 8kg of fat I'm
carrying). Corner to corner, after a lot of playing, I called it quits at 50.4% - 49.6%.

230 miles on a tank?
- something's wrong there
- either you've put too big a tank in it or your right foot ain't heavy enough.
Cheers, Pewe

adrian
what springs etc have you on yours Adrian ?.
Yes seems to handle alot better, ive not been down my fave stretch of road today, but the other night, i was very unsure of its handling, hense the
help of Steve.
Im not so sure on the dunlops im running either but, the set up might have sorted that out

The springs are 210lbs front and 190lbs rear. I can't remember the shock length. I'll look tommorrow. Can't decide if the fronts are
too hard.

It was a pleasure mate!
It was nice to do as I learnt something new also
Glad it's transformed the car, and with a couple more tweaks over time I'm sure we'll get it absolutely perfect - There's a
diff setting for the front I want to give a go!
