MG ZR: Cams & Maps

[lolsteve]

Answer was to dial the damping right back XD mg lot said 10 clicks is about right so thats where I started and kept adding more until I reached max damping. Gaz said 6 clicks is enough for road and they were unsurprisingly right  


FCS Writeup:
I didnt sort the damping out before driving down so that meant driving with "race" spec damping for 5 hours. According to Gaz with the settings I was on the only damping was from the tyre so very bouncy/shit. So as you can imagine by the time we arrvied to FCS I was peaved and really hating on the MG. A good nights drinking and bantering helped relax that though.
Next morning after getting on the stand I managed to get the dials to move and set them to 6 clicks. What a difference! Car now has much less body roll but is comfier than stock suspension.  Also thanks to Dom & Sid (sorry if that wasnt your name) who were trying to sort out their own 205 monster thing We got the front strut brace unsiezed and on the car. So by 9:00am I was loving the MG once more.

Come 11:45 and on the track we go with a good amount of the 306oc  and then...... I BEAT ROWELL! Took me a couple of laps since in a very un-combe like fashion we didnt have to wait in the pits long so the engine was still stone cold having only been on for 5 minutes. So I had to mince it round for a bit waiting for it to warm up/get hgf  




Rest of the track session was largely successful engine pulls well and is reaching some good speeds. Brakes were causing some seriously wobbling under load so was really not giving it my all after a previous lesson of finding the brakes failing me a lesson I learnt again later on .....

Still not 100% on what happened as it was over quick but think i was having a good lap and the brakes just were not there for me. Luckily just missed the barrier.

Show was so/so not many stands or much else going on wouldnt have been nearly as good without the 306oc/camping
