Myself and our 6 person band of merry morons, lol, have been racing a Barney purple ti in Chumpcar (now Champcar... booo) for 2 years. We ran Pittrace last year and Gingerman the year before. The Compact really makes for a great handling track car (if a bit under-powered as we all must know). Anyways, just finishing up prep now for the first trackdays of the season and racing the Nelson Ledges 24hr at the end of June. Hope to see some of ya'll around! | | | 05-10-2018, 07:58 PM | #2 | Junior Member Join Date: Oct 2016 Location: Akron, OH Posts: 14 | I'm planning the jump from 24H of Lemons in a Taurus SHO to Champcar in the near future - slowly prepping my 318ti currently. What do y'all run for suspension and tires? | | | 05-29-2018, 08:41 PM | #3 | Junior Member Join Date: May 2018 Location: Michigan Posts: 8 | Glad to hear you are moving to Champcar collinsk1! I ran several lemons races in the past and IMHO ChampCar consistently puts on much higher quality events. I'm sure you know all about how Lemons runs things though... Lemons = A party where a race usually breaks out ChampCar = A race where usually a party breaks out afterwards Anyways, about the ti! We just made some changes over the off season and have out first shakedown at Grattan over the memorial day weekend. For suspension the car came with Bilstein PSS non-adjustable coilover fronts and HD or sport rear shocks and Bilstein springs from the previous owner. We changed out to a stiffer front spring and still run the same rears. I'm no expert but I'm fairly certain the fronts are NLA. You could get the same results with Sport front shocks modified to accept ground control (or ebay really) adjustable lower perches. For tires we ran Advan AD08s last year (great tire but a bit pricey) and just tested Maxxis Vicrta VR-1s. I don't have a direct comparison but the VR-1s were solid even in the high temps we had both days. We are planning to switch to hankook RS4s for Nelson since they are significantly cheaper and supposed to be pretty equal to the VR-1s for dry grip, wear, etc. i can let you know how they do Do you have an event you are targeting? Or is it too early to tell? We also plan to make it to Gingerman and PittRace this year as long as we keep the car incident free. Good luck! Hope we see you out there! If you have more questions about racing a ti in ChampCar (or just ChampCar) let me know and I might have answers | | | 06-02-2018, 02:58 PM | #4 | Member Join Date: Jun 2015 Location: DAYTON, OH Posts: 86 | I’m still gathering parts together to build a Lemons car and would like to do some ChampCar races later because of the locations they offer. My Ti with all its goodies is going to be hard to put into a class for ChampCar. | | | 06-02-2018, 03:38 PM | #5 | Junior Member Join Date: Oct 2016 Location: Akron, OH Posts: 14 | Sounds like your suspension and mine are pretty similar. I don’t have a target date yet. None of my safety stuff is even started and the car is really only halfway stripped. I still have some maintenance stuff to do before I even put it on track for testing. Next year is probably optimistic, but we’ll see. | | | 06-02-2018, 04:17 PM | #6 | Member Join Date: Jun 2015 Location: DAYTON, OH Posts: 86 | Don’t make the same mistake I did & buy your seat first. Mines been sitting in a box for almost three years now because they have an expiration date. | | | 06-02-2018, 05:16 PM | #7 | Junior Member Join Date: Oct 2016 Location: Akron, OH Posts: 14 | I may be wrong, but I don’t think seats expire in the eyes of champ or lemons. Belts do, but I think seats are exempt. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
