Attended another Thunderhill event this weekend.
Shaved two seconds off my best time and 1.1s off the official TT time.
2:10.6 and 2:11.8
At last some progress :-)

So I figured out why my front suspension is making creaking noises ...
The top heim joints aren't moving as they should.
The right one isn't moving at all and the right one barely.
Bad quality most likely.
Not happy since JIC told me I needed some washers installed (which I had to pay for).
And now I found out the real cause, which they most surely must have been aware was the cause.

Thinking of my camber settings, I was checking the settings from the latest alignment and found they had printed the corner weights on the receipt!
Left front 588lbs
Right front 598lbs
Left rear 1048lbs
Right rear 1020lbs
Total 3154lbs
Cross weight 1646lbs, 50.5%
Left weight 1637lbs 50.2%
Right weight 2067lbs 63%
Front weight 1188lbs 36.5%
The last section must be mislabeled though.

Long time since last update ...
Just back from another day at Thunderhill. Love that track.
New tires (RE11) this time, didn't help that much, I just haven't driven enough this year to keep up the "skills". In the end I managed a 2:12.8 which is better than before but not much. I had plenty of laps at 2:13.0 though so there is an improvement but I make lousy turn in's. Gotta work on that.
When doing the Time Trial I got a time of 2:12.999 on the 2nd lap but I completely destroyed that lap by over driving turn 14 and getting a slow entry speed onto the straight for the 2nd lap.
The car I was following (and catching up to) did 2:11.3. So that should be doable with this setup.
The RE11s are so different from the PS2s. They start squealing immediately but that means nothing as you have plenty of grip left after that, just floor it and trust the tires :-)
Overall, it was two fun days with a good set of people.
And btw, the 996 is a fantastic car!
