The car still has some cooling issues so Tim ordered a new radiator and fan. We went ahead and changed to a larger rear anti-sway bar and stiffened up the low speep and high speed adjusters on the Ridetech shocks. The car is getting better each time it hits the track(which is only twice so far). Tim is trying to get some Rivals since the NT05's are only available in a 295 for the rear.

Tim and James Crosby made a few laps at Adams last night. Tim kept getting faster as the night progressed and he got comfortable with the track. His fastest was a 47.0.

The camera wasn't liking the dim light so we had some issues getting it to focus.

Looks like you guys are having a good time with the car. She definitely leans in the corners :D I couldn't help but note that you mentioned wanting to stiffen the rear bar and reduce the front bar - I would have to say my gut feel from considering the attitude of the car in the corners and how much turn in is being applied to the fronts, I would stiffen the whole car up first on the main spring rates, not bar rates, then stiffen the rear bar only to work on the understeer. Don't mess with the front bar at all yet as the car is too soft overall. I can understand messing with shock adjustments, but IMO shocks are fine tuning dynamics and what I see is a car that needs some static updates. People were always surprised at how much wheel rate I had in my car but it just kept going faster and faster the stiffer I made it :) I had some pretty big ARBs as well.

I intend to start my Nova project out at pretty high wheel rates based on what I learned tracking my last car and iterating the suspension over a 7 year period.

FWIW...

The car has been to 4 events now and at each one it has had different spring rates, different bars, different tires and even different shocks on the last go round (thanks to Ridetech). The car is very heavy in the ass end. From memory it is 250 lbs heavier on the back axle than on the front. It has been a learning experience for sure but it has improved greatly since the So Cal Challenge on Labor Day.

Amazing, Tim you can tune by looking at pictures? :hitaxeonthehead:pics and especially video of a car in the corners are incredibly valuable to tuning a car. I have had friends take tons of pics of my car in the corners so I can pour over them and consider them with my notes about what the car was doing at the steering wheel. Can you see when you are dragging or carrying a tire when in the car driving it? I sure as hell can't. Pics will show you tho'. Just picking these four images in a row from an above post tell me a ton about what that car was doing that day without ever actually driving it. Do you not glean a ton of info from just these four??? Especially the last one here?

Can I fine tune the car? Heck no; that takes driving it or driver input. But when it is gross adjustments, that can be seen.

Back on the thread, glad to hear you are making progress on the tuning. Having the rear of the car heavier than the front is a good thing, well to a point of course. I would love to set my coupe up to at least 55% rear distribution, 57% to 58% considered the "golden" ratio for road racing but I highly doubt that will happen and keep the weight between the wheels. 911s are more like 62% and a fair amount of that behind the wheels (sort of like the wagon would be) and that is why they can oversteer for days so I wouldn't want that of course :lol: Getting the weight between the wheels with these old Novas is the tough part; they have so much rear overhang it makes for a chunk of weight always behind the rear tires. I set my 914 race car up at exactly 57.5% rear weight which split the difference and that car was easy to keep weight between the wheels.

That is a bummer about the driveshaft! Did it shear in half? Sucks that you guys would have went all the way to NV and have an issue like that put you back in the pits. It is one thing to break at a local track and lose a track day, another to be that far from home at a big event and have a failure.

Video's sure, but pictures are out of context. You have no idea of speed or driver input. Is he accelerating then slamming on the brakes. Is he accelerating then cranking the wheel. Your guess is as good as mine.

It's been a while since I've updated this thread. Skrape has been getting more and more seat time but I haven't been at any of the events so I haven't had much media to share. However, he went to Adams Motorsports Park this week with some heavier rear springs and I was able to stop by and get some pics.

The Super Chevy Handling Challenge is all wrapped up. Unfortunately, Mary couldn't drive the car with the seat so far back to fit Skrape. We had to improvise on the driver for the road course. Read all about it in the January 2015 issue of Super Chevy.
