The old 1600 (and me) made the trip to Wakefield again yesterday for the Rotary Enthusiasts of NSW track day.
Only real change to the car was fitting an LSD (still 3.7 ratio, which still needs changing
) and bump steer spacers (which necessitated chopping 10mm off the end of the lower control arm as it fouled on the brake rotor). The LSD made it a different car to drive - no more buzzing the inside rear on most corners. Also seemed to reduce the excessive rear brake bias, although that may have been imagination. First time at Wakefield that I haven't managed to spin it anyway, usually caused by locking the rears. Best "feature" of the LSD was that I could get the car up my wet, slippery dirt and clay driveway, which has always been a challenge in the past
Hard to tell if the bump steer spacers made any difference, as the track has been re-surfaced since I was there last. No more bumps !!
Still waiting for final official results to be posted, but was down to at least 1:22 on the times posted on the noticeboard throughout the day. And managed to beat a Porsche Boxter
, although he may not have been trying THAT hard
Here's a video from another competitor in an RX7 chasing me down - the 1600 really lifts the front inside wheel going thru the "fishhook" left-hander (about 1:50 into the video).
