Default Tech article?

Ok, been a while since I've written a tech article, any suggestions? I have a few ideas, but I'm going to reserve them until I hear or don't hear some others say what they want to read about/discuss/add to.

Maybe something on spring rates and how that affect handling, or the affects of sway bars...

Heh, ok, so 1 1/2 votes for a handling issue, and 1 1/2 votes for an acceleration issue...

I was sort of leaning towards a car setup article myself, suggestions on what such an article should cover?

I could write two if I have time, what should an article covering engine HP/torque and it's acceleration effect with a given setup include?

Tire prep like CivicRacerSi said and the effects of adding all the bars would be nice

How about car setups for some of the honda-dominated auto-x classes, such as STS/DSP? I'm still fuzzy as to what power mods you can do in either class. Suspension setups (besides GC + koni yellows) would probably be more helpful, but I'm sure a lot of us are clueless as to what the rules allow in terms of power mods.

How about a suspension setup article for the track forum, and a power article for the engine tech forum?
