hey all,

Last weekend there was a small lapping competition at the local track. I took my car there, just to see how it would run. Just before, I slapped on a DIY CAI (K&N + Home depot!), and had my alignment done. Well, the Legend sure is not a great track car ... just way too heavy, and the plowing and rolling is way too much (even with H&R's and Konis)! I am going to try again when I get Leon's strut bar on, but swaybars would REALLY help here. The understeer is what killed my lap times.

Even so, I managed to come in 3rd after a couple of heavily modded Golf VR6's (last pic). Times were 21.5, 22.4, and 23.9 (mine) on a 3/8 mile oval. Besides, running at 120km/h in 2nd at 7200 RPM really puts a grin on your face

Here is a little slideshow for ya ... enjoy (and check out how it leans!)

The strut bars will help a bit, but it won't really do anything for body roll. You need larger anti roll bars for that. However, if you go too large an anti roll bar in the front, it would actually understeer even more. The set up I'm thinking might be a good one is strut bars up front with stock anti roll bars, then the stiffer rear anti roll bars that DLS is trying to develope. I'm hopeing that would give a good combination.

I would love to do that....I tell you what, you will be surprised at how well it does with sticker rubber on the slalom....I did the SCCA Auto Xing, and I was pleased.Those pics still look way cool...tell me how it feels when you get it.

I look forward to anti-sway in the rear....hmmmm

The track here some nights has a course setup around and within the oval. It is pilons and such in some really tight turns and slalom.... defenitaly made for a manual car, and the legend I dont think would cut it. Most of the cars were subarus, porsches, and rice cars like cavaliers and civics and integras and colts..... (the usual... do I need to name more?).

Looks like fun though.

you'd be surprised

I did it

66.xxx seconds all stock + Eibachs no cones

This one gives you an idea of what the slalom is like

Nice Leon..... This particular course was very tight. ALOT of hairpins and oddly enough the pylons were put very close together and the formation was tight. I bet if you put the type 2 suspension and your upcoming mods and your springs and some performance mods you would burn up the track. So are you judged by a combo of time and pylons?

LOL at the pic of the big 1 ton dually going through the pylons...haha....

they ran 45.xxx
FASTER than the vettes, type r's, M3 and Porsches
those were in the 56.xxx
My 66.xx was with a slipping tranny
I redlined in first gear and had to let off the gas to get into 2nd
hence why I dogged the tranny in hopes of a full on 6spd/type II

only got half
but I know its faster now
I could tell tonite when we took that corner on the highway at that speed

planted

I wish you could see the panoramic shot

the pylons = seconds off
running off the road - DQ

I cant wait for more mods
too bad nOPi is so close
