build diary October 6, 2005: Ben from Caterham is bringing his SV (the red one in the Moab pictures) to the track day at Aspen. To help make the car faster, I've found a care and feeding document for the RA1. Interesting stuff. This will come in handy in Aspen and I promise to do some real setup. The first step will be to dial some real camber into the car because the RA1s like lots of camber. I'll probably also toss in some thicker sways to keep it flat. As for the exhaust, I had a good chat with Chuck at Thermal R&D. He makes the exhausts for Flyin' Miata. I'm going to send him some photos and a list of what I need and he'll come up with something. He does beautiful work and his systems always sound great. The results are posted for the track event. No surprise that I'm on top - I knew that already - but I was curious about some of the others. The closest competition is a quarter of a second back and there are a fair number in the 1:06 range. I'd better get this sorted out! entry 1044 of 1439 |
