I spent the weekend at Gratton Raceway with the Coupe. We had snow on and
off both days and the highs were only in the low 40's. The car ran both days
and I had a blast. It didn't run great but it ran. I had a mis under full
throttle where I would get some backfiring so I just ran it at half throttle and
it would run ok and was still very fast. At half throttle the car was keeping
up with just about anything there on the straight in the advanced/instructor
groups (except the Noble) and in the corners it did very well although I
would like to get rid of the body roll a little more. I had the whiteline rear
bar set on soft just to learn to drive the car but I think I'll set it on the
hard setting and maybe add the RS2 front swaybar. Traction is also a problem.
Coming out of third gear turns at half throttle at 5krpms the tires would
just spin and I kept hitting the rev limiter. I hope by getting the car
flattened out with the swaybars and maybe different springs it will help this. Things
that I need to sort out are the mis (I'm hoping just a bad coil) it happens
at 3/4 to full throttle and feels like the car looses a cylinder and does a
fast flutter sound and backfires every few seconds , an idle problem where the
idle won't settle and will stall on occasion, also if I rev it to say 3K it
will just stay there and then slowly goes down. Any help on these issues is
greatly appreciated.
