Swamp Coupe

!!

This explains two things:

1) Why the rear end has felt a little unstable since the last track day, and
2) Why the rear swaybar has not been squeaking so much lately!

that'll stop the squeak

Have replaced the swaybar now and it feels much better!

Both brackets were cracked along every fold.



Used the selbys swaybar off the wrecked trueno. It has a different style of bracket, so will see how long they last.

If you do have any issues with the new brackets please do post up here, my new swaybar has the same style mounts!

Another weekend, another hasty repair job, another track day.

Competed in the local bitumen sprint series again on the weekend. Another class win, but my only competition was Derek, who was also driving my car as he seems to have misplaced his.





Car ran well, considering that I'd hastily replaced the diff and rear axles the day before. The lsd failed during the previous round, so I swapped in the one from the wreck. Its noisy, but tight.

Knocked off all the wrx's, but am a second off catching the slowest of the evo's and nearly 5 seconds off catching the bloody GTR.

The KU36 tyres are still holding on, but they're very ragged now after only two days at the track Might only get a couple more runs out of them.



Considering the car is cornering hard enough to lean over like this, its not suprising! Need to chuck a larger swaybar in the front to level it out a bit and keep the back wheel on the ground!

Lots of scratches to polish out too after some over-enthusiastic driving by both of us lead to a number of cone fatalities.
