My guess: stock suspension and tires.

I have a feeling that R-comps + ancient Factory Suspension might give you a new world view ala Ford Foci: upside down...

my favorite is seeing accords and preludes driven stock while under full braking and turn in--talk about the pissing dog! i remember when i used to A/X my lude on stock suspension, people would tell me you could fit a medium sized bullmastiff under my inside rear while the nose of my car was eating dirt in china.

I see nothing wrong with that amount of lean for an H Stock car on stock shocks and tires.

What I do see wrong in picture #1 is that you are late, late late. Look at the tire marks on the ground. They indicate people who overdrove that corner. You are near the outside of the overdriven crowd. Why so far from the cone? Do you like adding 10 extra feet to the course?

Don't worry about the car yet. Learn to drive it as is and when you add better shocks and tires you will be able to make good use of them.

regards,
alan

PS Do not get R comps until you get shocks. Rollover with sticky tires is a possibility if body movements are not well controlled.

I'm gonna break H-T of the idea that Focus + R-comps = rollover

Carl, who's focus has yet to be on less that two wheels....

Whoa, becareful not to scrape the door handles or you will have to paint those too.

The drivers door has been painted, and the pass rear door dent strip isn't painted.

It's perfect for running

Get some new factory shocks and you've got a good ride.

Its is my car... I just wanna be like Scott and refer to myself in third person.

I overshot that corner on my 2nd run, result of late braking a little too late. Did correct it though for the third run. I have no plans to buy R comps or anything until I decide what to do with the car.

Yes the car looks like crap... but hey its getting me seat time.

Sean who has a love/hate relationship with that gold overweight thing.

Best stuff I've heard all day

Better than "I am thinking about getting a pink or orange or green steering wheel, which one do you think will look the best?"

for "keeping it real"

I used to think being fast meant you had to have a fast car. Then I started actually racing, quickly realized being fast means you have to be a fast and smooth driver.

Sure I can spend hundreds on tires and mods, or I can spend hundreds on gas, food, water and entry fees. The latter makes me more comfortable as a driver and faster than any mods will.

The only mod I have are those numbers and $10 mechanics gloves from Autozone. Best mods ever!!!

Wow, someone who might actually have more roll than me.



Dragging mud flaps. Stock suspension and Azenis.

At first I was worried I was somehow putting the front bumper into the pavement at turn in, from the scraping sounds. But that wasn't the case. Looking at the mud flaps afterwards, they're shaved down a little.
