Ok, I am working on a car that a friend requested, that in no way would I ever choose for what he wants to do with it. So as far as my personal comfort zone goes, I left that 90 miles ago with this car, lol. I am not looking to put this is my garage, or even post it in the site tunes department, just trying to make a friend happy.
So if anyone has any spare time and can help me get this car's bugs worked out, I thank you in advance.
The problem;
The Buick Special
The bigger problem;
He wants it for use in 600pp races, with full cornering ability to be competitive.
Long story short, here's where I am so far;
Suspension (in order top to bottom)
90/70
9.00/8.00
8/6
4/8
4/5
0.0/0.0
+0.05/-0.05 (yes, your seeing that right)
Br= 7/9
LSD= 5/13/20
Now, all power is added, and oil changed. Limiter =100%
All weight reduction added as well.
Right now, I have 98kg @ +50 on ballast. Giving this a 54/46 distribution.
The total weight is only 1,215 which to me is still not too bad considering the 848hp.
The LSD (the accel anyway), and the suspension are my biggest targets right now, and as you see by my latest Toe experiments, I am really going outside the box while trying to find this car's sweet spot. I have other things I am working on as well, and I have found spending TOO much time in one setting on a car can produce negative results, unless you step back and come back later with fresh eyes.
So, feel free to give advice and help away, I only ask one condition;
Please, if you haven't actually driven this car (nondrifting), take it for a spin first. The usual suspects while tuning are not quite the same. If they were, this help request wouldn't be here, lol.
Thanks in advance^^
Happy Holidays to the crew ^^
