Matt,
Looks and sounds good. I noticed that you were working the brake bias a bit. I would recommend that you set it (after everything is hot) by adjusting toward the rear until they definitively lock first. And then adjust toward the front just a little bit. Just enough that the rears do not seem to lock first. That will give a good basis for fine tuning the settings for entry braking. (Remember this chassis requires a bunch more rear bias than you would think looking at the bar) I also really like your old school "G" meter just in front of your right knee. One could easily calculate G forces (Up to one G :D) by the angle of the hanging key. Casual observation even demonstrates the G circle nicely. Enjoy that thing. It is after all, the only comp chassis Coupe in existence. (And there will be no more) |
That is getting me excited to get my JBL roadster going! I have the coyote 5.0L fitted in but not motor mounts fabricated, the front suspension in place and some of the brake and fuel systems set up. It really is unfortunate that I can't get parts that I am owed from Goins. If anybody knows what is up with Larry it would be nice to know. I haven't heard from him in a month and a half and I am missing $1k+ of parts, some of them critical (rear suspension and knuckles). Not really looking to lawyer up but it is seeming like it is going that way.
Anyway, sorry to be a downer. Your car is amazing and I hope to have similar videos some day! |
