thanks engineertwin, i'm a senior and as the title states it was my senior project so i wont be able to build another If i got to do it again, i'd put in a differential so the rear tires could rotate at different speeds and decrease our turning radius. during the suspension and traction event we got...

i've been away for a few days so ignore that i'm late to the topic.vhoward, its because you are going slower that the speedo reads. a few of us here have checked the speedo with gps and the speedo reads fast. when it says 70mph it's actually 68 and when it reads 80 its actually 76...at least for me ...

coldmm803

coldmm803

i think that the speed limits should be lowered in some states, i know some of you have limits of 70+, 70 is fine if the traffic actually goes that but more than that is just wasting gas so in those areas there whould be reason to lower the speed limit and for it to be enforced. there are several ar...

welcome to the boardif you only fill it with it once or on very rare but only choice times it will be fine. the computer will retard the timing a little bit to adjust for it, so you may be seeing slightly less performance
