Looks like it was a fun-filled weekend for you guys.

I haven't paid much attention to these bars that people are using. I take it that the Jim Fab bars work better than the Z10 because they mount closer to the inside (inboard?) of the front LCAs? Keep us updated.

I haven't been having as much fun with the automotive work I've been doing lately. :happysad: Oh well, good days, bad days.

you sounded excited about understeer??? wtf???
Yes understeer rules!!! No I didn't use enough punctuations and stuff. Noticed more understeer (I don't like understeer), but the shifts felt more positive.

The jimfabs are suppose to reduce wheel hop, and apparently a much better design than the z10's. Reasonable price, and Jim is a great guy. These are suppose to elimintate wheel hop, and apparently they help in handling also. But I'm noticing more understeer already. I've gotta tighten 'em up still but you have to do that with the suspension loaded. I don't have any ramps right now. So the bars are set at 0. The Ericks racing Tb is awesome. Great price and a nicely machined piece. All the stock sensors have to be swapped over, and the piece to rotate the throttle cable is already there. It's a 70mm in the front and it's tapered to 68mm from the butterfly on back. Great throttle response. First time messing with it, and helluva a lot better than the Spoon 70 mm tb which is 62 mm from the butterfly back. :down:

The Jim fabs are suppose to be better and cheaper. Some guy on H-t.com said he designed the z10, and apparently he and z10 had a falling out, and he said the jimfab design was significantly better than the z10. Who knows, I like the bar and I liked dealing with Jim. I'm gonna go try these out at the zero setting and see how they are, but I'm affraid of roasting my A032r's

What's wrong with the car? Other than it getting stolen?
