Is that during steady state cornering when it breaks loose?
Or something different?

It will do it in steady state even with lighter springs but earlier this week I measured how much rear compression travel it had. Less than an inch so I readjusted the the rear strut for more compression travel and shorted the bump stop but with all the rain have not tested it yet. Sunday it is going to clear off.
Going to grind the tired tread before next autocross.

Today added more spring cushions to front springs. It has increased the cornering speed and feels more controlable on hard cornering. Currently have 400# rate spring with a 40 and a 50 pound spring cushion. So after this weekends autocross will install 500# springs a retest.

The notched windscreen is good for hot days. The windscreen I have now is attached to the roll cage s I have the track chassis. It works the best less air coning from the engine and the air flow hit the top roll cage bar so that the position of my top mounted intercooler get full air flow. If you install the windscreen as designed the air flow is a foot above the roll cage because of the angle it is installed. Drop me a message if you want to talk. I do better on the phone than typing

Autocross was Sunday, car handled the best it has all year. But the boost bypass valve shaft stuck in the open potion so no boost.
Removed supercharger to repair also replaced the actuator. While waiting for actuator remove nose. Steering had slight catch when turning, the steering shaft u joints were binding. Spaced down steering shaft 1". That got rid of the catch and made the steering lighter.
Installed the 500# front springs, thinking of going to 600# just to see what happens.
The car became hard to shift,the four bolts that hold the shifter down were loose.

I finally figured out how to load a video to youtube that I shot from my GoPro. This is event 7 at MCC. Spring rates are 500# front and 125# rear. Car had almost no boost as the boost bypass valve is stuck open. When you compare this video to the last one I posted you will see an increase in turn speed.
