My 2014 Black Cherry Z

14BlackCherry · 04-20-2017, 08:47 PM

Summer 2016:

My first time running the car is STR trim. Due to working overnights and lack of PTO I wasn't able to complete as much events that I would of liked to. I completed 6 events and finished 2nd locally in STR.

Car Setup:

255/35/18 - RE-71R
Enkei PF01 Wheels 18x9
Tomei Full Cat back exhaust.
Koni Yellow Shock - off the shelf
Eibach Front Swaybar
SPL Front Endlinks
Stillen Gen 3 Intakes
Berk HFC
z1 2pc rotors front and rear
z1 Front adjustable camber arms.
Custom Alignment.

For the 2017 season I have some new toys for STR:

Penske 7500 DB custom valved by Guy Ankeny:

I'll keep this thread updated. The shocks are valved up to 1100lbs sprint rates, and I'm going to run 1000lbs springs in the front and 900lbs in the rear.

Yeah I really liked the V, fun car awesome straight line speed, but just too dang heavy. These will be my first set of aftermarket coilovers ever.

That's what I keep getting told. I hear I stole them for the price I got them for less than $1k.

5/9/17: First round is in the book, I'm still on Koni Yellow's and expect to be on the Penske shock come round two which is Memorial Day weekend. I received my shock settings and will adjust from there.

As for the first event I can tell that I haven't autocrossed the car for 8 months. I feel like my line was terrible and I didn't even get one clean run!!! Also my RE71R's are over a year old with probably 100+ runs. Tire measurements are at 2-3/32nds. So new tires will be in the works. Feedback is much appreciated.
