Hey, sir. Interesting a new sway bar on my mini right now and was watching your video. To get the brackets off the sway bar, after I remove the 4 14mm e torx bolts holding the subframe on, it still isn't loose enough to get to the top/ back bolt on the bracket. What did you do to pull it down to easily access it?

The shocks likely bottomed out at the correct preload, because they were far softer than the manufacturer deemed necessary for the application. Watching you drive with a manual gearbox is real cringe in how you ram the box and don't know what gear you should be in much of the time, demonstrating zero mechanical sympathy and that you were never taught properly how to use the gears. If you were on the dragstrip it may be forgivable, but you where just tootling around town.

@collinryser I'm just finishing the video. I agree on the lower spring rate on the rear. Most people are running 8kgf/mm for my car (370Z). But I ran the numbers, it's really supposed to be 5-6kgf/mm. Then fix body lean with antiroll bars. I'll be running 750lb/in(13.4kgf/mm) F and 275lb/in(4.92kgf/mm) R. The car has a nasty 0.65 motion ratio on the front. I was always wondering how people are running 18kgf/mm and still be fine. 😬
@collinryser 5 ай бұрын

I didn’t get back to that did I… essentially the smaller front sway bar allows more overall roll, and even though I do have more camber in the front, the added roll angle means more camber loss under load.

Great video of a great weekend :) Is it legal to put a six speed in it? That could maybe make a difference, with the closer ratios?
@collinryser 5 ай бұрын
Thank you 👏🏻 I have actually had the 6 speed in this car before. It would not be legal for the class either way, but also the 6 speed setup is about 50 pounds heavier than the 5 speed between the weight of the transmission itself plus the difference in the flywheel. Also, the gearing I have now works pretty well for Gingerman. The bottom of 3rd gear lands in the torque band to pull me through every corner and the most I ever have to stretch 3rd out is about 6,600rpm. The fastest point on the track coming into 11 puts me right at the top of 4th, so I’m only using two gears for that whole track.
@testacorsa1 5 ай бұрын
@@collinryser You're welcome 😊 Well, if it isn't legal... I'm surpriced that the six speed is that much heavier! but good that the five speed suits the the track that well. Regarding weight, maybe you could explore that option a bit more. I understand that you didn't want to risk anything that weekend, but now that you have the power figure from the track rollers, you could explore that option safely, and still leave a healthy margin to put you nerves at ease. That tenth will definitely be gained by removing the extra weight you carried around! I'm looking forward to seeing your future videos, and I hope you continue to include the onboard footage - I for one would love to see even more. Good luck!

@@testacorsa1 There will be lots more 🤙🏻 I want to keep a healthy margin to be safe, but in the future I will get on the dyno as soon as I get to the track so that I can be more accurate with the weight.
