I've entered the time attack in June at eastern creek, as I've never been there before. any input on gearing or suspension rates for the track would be useful. I'm running 4.77 diff gears and I'm unsure as to whether or not they will be too short for the long front straight.

Any info would be useful

You should be right, I used the Peter odgen gear calc http://racingdownloads.com/racing_software-22.html

From what Gav was saying, your car produces about the same as what mine did when i was back in NSW. Now at Wakefield i would commonly be matched up against other guys with similar power outputs and gear ratios who ran fine at EC.... so by extrapolation.... she'll be right mate :P

hey mate what time attack event have you entered in i wouldn't mind hitting a grip race as my setup isn't all that bad as a grip car and sounds like my setup is very closely matched to yours
