Jon- are you bringing the car to Oside this Saturday?
I'm interested in checking it out.

Can someone explain how certain amounts of rebound are achieved?
When a setup sheet say's 20% rebound does that mean the shock rod is extending to 20% of it's full length?
Also, what should the theorhetical difference be to the handling after adjusting it, i.e. err, what does it do

PW and I prefer the Mi3 cap as the shocks all build up the same every time with not effort at all. To get rebound on the Mi3 shock use 1 or 2 shock o-rings between the bladder and the cap or Much More rebound foams.

Tech Regular
where did PW get those rose joints that he's using for the rear hub carrier - and why has he fitted them rather than the rpm ballcus he'sused elsewhere?

How to free up the car
AdrianM/PW: c'mon bro- let us in on your speed secrets. How is it that you pro drivers get those cars to run so smooth and free. A known Corally driver from PP told me of crazy tricks and tips...just let us in on how to really free up the car- what can be done to the bearings, drive shafts, axles, bones, belts, hubs, pulleys...let it all out

Heres a secret learn to drive a full 5 minutes an inch off the board without slowing down or hitting anything. Then worry about freeing up your already probably fairly free transmission.
Oh yeah if you were a Thetan 7 you would know all the tricks of the trade.

I prefer the stock Schumacher Ball Grippas. They are the strongest ball cup on earth. If you want to tightern them up place a poly bag over the ball and snap the cup on. It will cut a disc and push it on the ball cup. Experiment with bag thicknesses to get the fit you want.
