Because building a GT4 is clearly not enough work... I have a race car - not hard core performance rally like Steve... but we have been known to pull down a trophy.... Here is a very high level of the car's progression since 2009. I took this year (2013) off as I was completely burnt out and broke... 2014... I cannot wait!
        Whelp.... if there is some interest, I can keep posting some photos and progress as we work toward April 2014 @ Gingeman Raceway... This post has been edited by qatar11: May 25, 2015 - 8:17 AM -------------------- -Mike

My car will get there over the course of the next year. Glad to see others are into it as well. Having a fast car on the streets is fun but I have no intention of getting into trouble that way and it's so much different than driving in Europe (I'm originally from Croatia). There's so much more traffic here and the highways are flat out not made for it especially after trucks put nice groves into the roads lol.
I do have two questions for you though, what size rims/tires are you running, and do you have as much trouble with understeer as I would expect or have you found a way to counteract it/negate it? |

We have never really experienced understeer on the race track... Mind you that is a prepared surface... We run 15" OE GT wheels, Falken Azenis Rubber. KYB GR2 Shocks. Vogtland Springs. Normal Sway Bar. EBC Yellow Brakes. We run OE toe, -2.5 Negative front and -1.5 Negative rear camber. Towards the end of the tire life we will start to get understeer... which is about 8-10 hours of track time. This post has been edited by qatar11: Oct 22, 2013 - 9:21 PM -------------------- -Mike
