Here's the best to date setup for my car....you can experiment with 20-25wt rear oil depending on the size of jumps/bumps you have....other than hat I havent messed with it in a couple weeks.....dialed! I also run a 6.5 lite geared 19/80 now

also a couple pics showing how to strengthen the front end of your car where the bulkheads bolt to the chassis. Use a 30mm long countersunk screw all the way through all 3 pieces and nut the top. This eliminates some flex and makes the front end bullet proof.

Need some more action on this thread. I tried the wide front MLP this weekend and was like WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was like I had a new touring car to drive. It didn't seem to take too muc steering awar if any but it made it smooth to drive. Made me feel like I was driving in slow motion but yet I was able to run my fastest lap ever from a 19.03 down to a 18.20 and could run consistantly in the mid to high 18 second laps and depending on traffic in the low 19's. I'm still stunned on what happened this weekend.

My GV2 is really coming alive for me on are track (which it is very brutal on cars an drivers for that matter The track has the nick name of Bumps and Bruises and its no lie.

Yeah I knew I should of made you work harder to get by. My car might be wider next week. Bumps has been alot of fun since I got my car working alot better than the first 2 weeks on it. The car is coming along great and will keep trying to make it better.
