AlWakRa 370z's Journal - PW from Qatar

AlWakRa

First time at Autocross (last round) with the TTS, and as usual my 370z was present.

They were in different classes, I think it would be a drag to explain all the classes, but we have 3 categories depends on engine displacement, and each one has production and open class, production means stock car with the only allowed mods are (exhaust, intake, tune, lowering springs and semi-slicks), anything more means open.

TTS was in production, Z was open, both under 2500-3700cc NA or 1600-2500cc FI, such broad categories but cannot change them.

The Z finished 4th , the track was dusty and my R1S are old and had many heat cycles, so didn't help me to put my power down, and I was always on part-throttle to not spin the wheels and go doooriftooooo mode, and I was against evos and sti

my best run was 54.3, but I don't know where are the cones that has been counted as penalty



Official fastest 54.8




Here is where it get interesting, my TTS did 55 flat, but didn't manage to top the class, there was a 718 Boxster (not sure if it is S or normal) that was faster I was 2nd but satisfied nonetheless, as I entered on old PS4S which was on the car when I bought it.




anyway, I have plans for it, I will get Carbotech AX6 pads, 18 wheels with re71r or a052, tune, and top mounts (front for camber, will ask if it is allowed in the class, the non-adjustable type) if not, I may get lowering springs. Hopefully it can challenge for top place next season.

As my Z, I think I need to open the gearbox, refresh it, and then get new tire set for it, I may try A052 on it this time, with a higher tire profile, they may grip better or equally on dusty surfaces, and they will not heat cycle like slicks (as I want to get a full season out of them), my power isn't bad, but I struggle to get it down sometimes so higher tire profile could help, or maybe I need to get less camber at the rear, mmmmmmm, I made it around -2.2 rear, it gives a very progressive and controllable slide, or maybe I need to remove rear swaybar, I got lazy to try to de-attach it in one round at least to try how it change.
