G1en's 95% race car 5% stickers Zed build

 I Just read the entire thread and loved it. Think you have been very humble about your skill as a driver contributing to your times. Have you changed your rear hub/knuckle bushes? I found these really helped with the cars handling. What tyre hot/cold tyre pressures did you use on the AD09'S?

Thanks Fella, I guess i am a fairly quick/talented driver but so are a lot of other people in motorsport. I have definately improved massively from when i first bought the Zed, i remember my first couple of events being all over the place and on the grass more than tarmac, it's a whole new ballgame trying to find the limit of a car (and your ability) than regular road driving but the 350 comunicates so well as an old school rwd car, especially with all the mods I have done over the years. Not sure which bushes I have changed, I know I have done most of them front and rear (to polybush) as i have changed parts over the years. Best pressures I found for the AD09 tyres were around 30 front, 26 rear (cold pressure) going up a couple of psi over the runs. a fair bit lower than other tyres I have had which are normally 33F/30R but my setup will be different from most other Zeds as its been tweeked to exactly how I want the car to handle over the years with camber/toe/reide height etc.

Thanks for the advice on pressures, I've been using 27psicold all round which gives me 32 rear 31 front hot. I'm using spl spherical bearing bushes and they really do make the car very responsive. Also I run the spl tie rod ends which gives the steering a more direct feel.
