build diary

March 16, 2005: I've been poring over photos of the car while cornering.
I missed a bit of information in the tire temperatures that indicates the left rear is either getting hit with exhaust heat or needs more negative camber. Photos of the car show that it could very well be the latter. Should I put in some stiffer springs? Perhaps build sway bars. Or just say "the car was working well, why mess with it?". Tough call. The car does deal very well with bumps right now and the handling is very well mannered. You can see in a couple of the videos that the corner on to the front straight of the track was really rough but the car stayed stuck to the ground. I'd still like it to be as effective as possible. I probably won't do anything to the suspension over the next couple of weeks before I go to California.

I snuck another video on to the website yesterday - it shows the speed difference between the Seven and a stock Miata. Okay, this isn't a surprise. But it's still pretty fun to watch.
