Week 3 update



Hey guys, it's a marathon drift weekend, 3 days of drifting over this Memorial Day weekend. Ran the car on Saturday with the same settings I had last week, the car just isn't carrying the counter steer the way I would like it to. So I decided to switch out my medium springs to hard springs in the rear. This helped a bit, where I am lacking the counter is in the slow speed tight corners so I decided to lower the rear of the car with some droop. I lowered the car from about 13mm (rally car status :)) to about 7mm. In conjunction with that I decided to replace my long shock boots to the shorter ones and I also stood the rear stocks more upright. Even with the stock 17T input gear I am able to counter quite substancially in the tight corners, and the car still remains drivable. I'm going to go again today and hopefully try a little more to get a bit more countersteer. I will try to post up some pics of my chassis today so you guys can see what im talking about. Happy Memorial Day!

P.S. Thank you Katsumi-san for making the video!
