Suspension And Drive Line Help Needed


Recommended Posts

Drummond Motor sport have finished the coilovers but cant dial in the drive split.

Can anyone guide me (or them) through how to do it.

This is todays email about teh car tested with new coilovers.

"We had a good day at winton! results where good.

It was good to have both Jeff and Ben drive the car.

Jeff has a lot of experience and also does tyre testing with Bridgestone etc etc.

Ben has more experience in cars like the R35 (his evo uses a similar gearbox.)

Jeff did the first runs and Ben finished the day.

Ben's imput was important in regards to Race circuit use and Jeff's imput was important in regards to Targa type events.

As a Targa Car! the car is great and is very forgiving and easy to drive. (traction control on)

As a Circuit car! we need to do more work, we need to work out how to dial in the drive split.

The car with out Traction control: The car has power oversteer! this means the split isn't correct and needs to be adjusted for the race circuit to achieve the very best times from the car.

Ben said he was able to induce power oversteer at any time."

Hi Dominic

I had my R35 there last weekend

I would be very interested in what sort of times you were getting around the track in the R35?

  • 2 weeks later...

Dominic I spoke to these guys about your vehicle.

There is no dialling of the drive split, its controlled by the VDC system mapping and driven by an electromagnetic clutch assy.

Its time we had a look at your transmission I think and rectified a small problem before it becomes a big one....

Either that or turn it into a drift car :blush:

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
