Emilio specifically said that I want .25-.5" of rake. I'll get this car moving, its just taking too much work. Once I try suspension, if that goes south, then I'll coinsider something else. |
Emilio said to put them at 31. I'm not sure why I would try more pressure. I believe the stretch on the tire makes it like lower pressures better. The turn in felt better than ever too.

I wish I was a man with hair on my chest on tracked my car...

Fwiw I run my NT01's at 32 psi hot. Running the same wheels 15x9 6ULs. Pyrometer shows a gradual 15-20 degree spread from inside to outside.

I run 32 psi hot on 15x9 6UL. when I was on 15x8, I ran 34 psi hot.
but if you had to err, also err on the high side. IF 32 psi yield fastest lap time. then 35 psi will just be barely slower, yet crisper turn in. but 29 psi would be quite a bit slower and steering feel sluggish. |

is that enough reason's? now we're getting somewhere though. we have people with more than one trackday on 9''/225's and they are all doing 31-32psi range. we have the idea that an air pressure gauge could be off. that's very possible, my buddy with the evo at msr-h was airing his tires up using the guage on the air chuck. he saw me using my own gauge and asked why. i told him because his gauge was way off. he checks his tires and they were all at 23-24psi! point is we don't even know if your tires are an issue or not. but it's super easy to try different psi and see how it feels. this is real important to me since i'm gonna be on these wheels/tires soon. also makes sense what william said about running higher psi on his smaller width wheels. i guess i'll find out. thanks for your very helpful input everybody. this is good stuff. |
Thanks. I'm so dumb to suspension stuff that I've chosen to be a lemming. I'm going to lower the car down tonight, put the new tie-rod ends on, align it, and maybe go back to the track on Sunday. Everyone needs to see the track at least once per week, right?
I feel like I'm driving the car like a man...if I get all this suspension stuff right, and I'm still slow its going to be a very, very sad day. The nice part is that I'm down to adjustments, and not "buying stuff." |

Finally uploaded a video from that weekend. Its a little extra shakey, I need to gusset my diy camera mount, but the track is really bumpy.
