Autocross Fun - Still not driving it fast enough
HealeyBN7:
Here is a video of one of my faster times. Compared to others I am not slow, but I am still not pushing hard enough. I guess a little more seat time will help. The car is staying together nicely. Nothing needed attending to during the sessions. Just made some minor adjustments to the shocks and air pressure to keep the rear end from coming around.
I thought I had the Webers just perfect, then it stalls at the end of the run. Doesn't happen on the street, just under these conditions.

Nice run and nice car! :trophy:
I think the Zetec makes a lot of sense for an engine swap.

Very cool to see! Looks like a mini road course compared to the autocrosses I run. Here's some vids from my last autocross: http://www.youtube.com/user/Europajps/videos The lot was an old lumber yard and VERY rough.

Very cool! The telemetry was really especially nice. It looked like you spent a lot of time at 1G so you obviously aren't having any problem in the handling department and the engine sounds pretty strong! It looked like your speedo wasn't working, though! :)
Lotusjps:
You're correct, I don't have the speedo hooked up. The way I have the shift linkage set up it's in the way of where the cable would go into the gear box. I've looked for a 90 degree adapter but so far haven't found one. Another option is using a CableX box which converts an electronic signal into cable movement. http://www.corvetteclocks.com/index_files/Page1148.htm
