Autocrossing

[Goblin-SS]

Had a grate time over the weekend autocrossing with local miata club. I still got a lot of tuning to get the car to handle properly. First is to get this body roll under control.

Do you have the bump stops in the rear? I'm getting really bad roll in the rear as well.

Is the car pushing/understeering? If so, you may need a bit (or more) of anti-roll bar.

WOW!!! That is a lot. I have the FE5 suspension on my donor and there is NO body roll that I can tell. This thing is a true go-cart.

I didn't even bother with installing the anti-sway bar since it doesn't roll. I bought new bushings and powder coated the brackets and the sway bar but never installed them. This is the thicker of the two anti-sway bars also. I might be willing to part with them.

Is that the stock suspension on both of those?

Yeah I was told I was 3 wheeling just like you are.... No I don't have bump stops.

I've got stock springs but I did swap in the adjustable Konie shocks in the rear.

There are so many driving style and means to the end result it is hard to give a blanket setup.

How did you do compared to the rest of the field?

Sadly not so good. middal of the pack .I need to get a proper alignment done. I couldn't get the front end to grip. But man did it turn heads! And I had a blast!!!

You could use the anti-sway bar or stiffer springs.

Sure did look like fun! I wish we were closer to a track.
