anj Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Hi all This Saturday I hope t have both cars In Richmond for a practice Autocross. I will have a friend drive the STI and I the STX and will see how the compare. In the future it would be cool to meet up at one of these events in the DC or Richmond area with a Peugeot group. Pictures and video to follow. Arun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeugeotPilot Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Looking forward to a full report! Wish I was closer; I'd love to drive your 505s some time to see how they handle with the various suspension mods you've made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anj Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Some pictures of the the car at practice autocross. I drove the car to some respectable times and pleased with all the mods. The car could use a bigger sway bar as I was lifting the outside rear wheel on tight corners. The car with burgundy hood ran well to the event but was not pushed hard since the brakes were soft. Will have to investigate the source. Arun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeugeotPilot Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Very cool, Arun. Just out of curiosity, have you ever calculated the lateral G-load either car can generate in a corner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Both cars look awesome Arun! Love the tucked rear bumper, tucked front bumper should make it look. Much more euro looking... Rabin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 So which car handled better? We should also discuss suspension - was the inside rear lifting enough to lose drive with the Torsen? My car never lifted enough to lose contact so I had drive through all the corners and it was PLANTED. RABIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anj Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 This was the first drive in "anger" since the coilovers and spring change. I need to lift the rear shock towers and seef if I can add more travel in the rear or increase the sway bar in the front. I was considering adding a second front sway bar, doubling the orginal or stiffening the orginal. I never drove the STI with lowered springs on the course since the brakes were soft. The stock car is very impressive and it is easy to make things worse with modifications. We will have to wait till the next event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
