Tony Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 wim has the good fortune to set many cars and although i enjoy Geometry to the max it's satisfying to work on cars like this....NSX Today i set this car for Donington and manufactured personal requirements from the customer.... With good results i hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark H. Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Nice, its a pretty new one as well, is it around 53 reg . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted October 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Nice, its a pretty new one as well, is it around 53 reg . No mate this is a much earlier index. What is so nice is the fact the car is so adjustable and the fact it came to wim... As i said all Geometry corrections are a pleasure but when this type of example appears it elevates the pulse somewhat and indeed the command expected by the customer.... Today i had one chance to set this car for Donington.. this is a little unfair since i have had no chance to study all the requirements directed by the customer but i am confident he will be happy.

Mark H. Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 I wonder what year they stopped pop up headlights and went to fixed units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted October 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 I wonder what year they stopped pop up headlights and went to fixed units. No idea.... The Geo positions are captured within a specific year frame then the modifications and requirements are added to the overall expectations...

Tony Posted October 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Fixed are usually lighter. Tony, will you share the Donny setup? I plan on investing in an NSX next time around. Is it wise to image someone else's set-up? He is a nervous conservative driver, whereas you are a go getter, diff bashing, cylinder hydraulicing, valve bending, coil snapping, driver Or in other words rather keen I am rather impressed that a NSX maybe your next lady jon will this also be undressed like the MR2?

jon Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 It's always interesting to see how other people setup their cars, though I might have assumed he was a bit more learned than he was. NSX is the long term plan once i've exhausted the aero on the sw20. Still quite fancy dropping a race v6 in it at some point but that's for another thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 It's easier to find the limit by going past it... plus it was a drying track with a very wet line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted October 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 It's easier to find the limit by going past it... plus it was a drying track with a very wet line. Indeed.. An 'off' teaches more than any book.... On reflection can you analise why this happened and what needs to be implemented before the next track day... Do we have some work to do at STS, i know you had reservations with the set-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Being jobless i really should find the time to come and see you, though i'm unsure on what route to take now with the settings. The off was at turn one, i wandered a little bit too much to the left to get a nice wide turn in, locked the NSF just before i turned in, OSF followed instantly then once you were on the greasy bit there's really no where to go but off as it was extremely slippy. Short version, driver error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short version, driver error. Honest reply. As for the route lets go for your suggestion minus the front toe out ..... If I read events correctly then the car under-steered, if you feel the same then we have a target to hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knob. Dynamically a twitchy car due to massive raw speed so why use it as a posers car. Edit: Just in case you gave him the web address... hello kind sir.

jon Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 It angers me. If you're going to pose, pose in a car that's not likely to kill you and others if you abuse it. If you're going to drive, buy the hardtop. Out of interest, what did he have done? Any talk of trackdays or just lunches with tea and butlers?
