I'm working on suspension of the car right now and got some sugestion this week end in sanair at the summer nationals to strap donw the front suspension.

How did you do that ????

pics would be appreciate.

i'm also looking for more info on the Nurformz rear suspension set up, did a search but didn't find anything.

 

get something to "strap" the body (by the upper control arm) to the lower control arm... to limit front end lift upon take off.

 

I used a 1200 lb ratchet strap and went from lower control arm to the toe hooks. Hook between the fork and the inside of the wheel. I ran a tenth lower on 60 ft. time first pass with them. This really works good, but you can not cut the wheel deep or the tire will eat the strap up and it will break.

 

already got some traction bar on the car.

i've been able to pull some 1.69 1.70 of 60 feet and the car weight 2025 pounds with me in it.

should i be happy with that or is possible to lower the 60 feet again on 24.5x9x13 ???

 

do a search for tony1 post and there you will see a good set up for limiting straps the post should read something like deepstage pics. we have been getting 60fts of 1.37&1.36's all the time.

 

have you noticed any differance in 330 ft times ?

 

yes it also helped the 330's they work really good i watch the car on tape and zero to none on front end lift.

 

found that

mount it where the control arm mounts to the body.

 

is that welded to the "forks" ??

 

I figure out something, will try it this week end and let you know the result.

thx for the info

 

hook it to the bolt that hold the bushing and yes it is welded to the wishbone.

 

I'm gonna do something similar on my CRX, I can't quite keep the front end from raising and unloading the tires. Hopefully it will cause the engine to bog out of the hole so I can raise my launch RPM a little since I think it's way too low right now.

... i guess you know what your doing. What kind of metal is the wishbone? Is that safe?

 

Yea I think tony knows what he's doing
I think the Wishbone is Cast Iron and its completly safe, if the strap breaks Its not going to Let loose anything but the strap, all the stock Suspension is retained. Its just an ad on piece

 

How about some more pics of this set up?
Jared= keep us posted on your experement.

 

I want to know more of this as well. I like to see pics where the upper part exactly hook up to. and I like to see a clear pics of where it hook up to the wishbone that is welded. and where can I find this nice piece strap at? thanks.

 

the straps you purchase from a 4x4 shop also they have different lengths and make sure they sell you the screw with locking nut,the other piece is chromemolly with a hyme screw in cap. the pic shows were it is welded

Ask the honda drivers from Titan, pretty sure they know.

 

chassis enginering makes a kit for fwd cars cost like 40-50 dollars and instructs how to mount where to mount and adjusting
