I am after photos from the supersprint yesterday (Sat 26/10/13) at SMP South Circuit, to use with a story for the MX-5 Club of NSW website.
Would anyone who has photos, preferably of MX-5's on the track, who is happy for them to be used on the website please contact me.
Thanks
David

Also, now I see why Russell could tell me all about my Diff.

Oddly it does not feel like that at all in the car.
I think I'm going to have to do something about that for next season as it is costing me a ridiculous amount of time. No rear traction while the rear is half a metre off the ground.

Edit
There is actually Photos on the Supersprint Website as well. The first since round 2 last year.

I said something to him a few rounds back, about needing new shocks as the back was coming up under brakes - I think he thought I was exaggerating.

I guess he gets good mileage out of a set of rear pads though :wink:

I don't think that the shocks being worn out are the problem. More the spring rates and shock stiffness.

I believe the issue is because of 225 wide R-Specs + Race Pads on soft stock springs = not balanced.
The grip and braking power is way too much for the standard spring rates.
I pretty much ride the bumps stops in braking up front.

I have seen plenty of standard NB8B's do that on R-Specs and good brakes.

To put it in perspective, when I did the Bathurst Hill Climb on my road tyres and Road Pads, I definitely did not have those extreme angles, as the tyres could not produce the grip that the R-Specs have.
