They must have been using the Trustart system then because if you weren't red, the only thing that save you was the right side tire planting in the ground while the left side came up with all that chassis flex!

[Tom Vaught]

Looks like about 3 cars between the right lane and the left. Chassis flex, You do the best with what you can afford.
Jerry Bickel Chassis are not in everyone's budget range.

Cool video George ... obviously your chassis works well.. your car is consistant..if it didnt, you would be all over the place with e.t....

[Tom Vaught]

Actually the chassis is not flexing I need better/new shocks and springs in the back. It was worse on friday. Saturday I was making adjustments to the spring on the passenger side.....ran out of adjustment! My light was only a .018.....not great but good enough to beat the other guy!

Rob B said the car had Chassis flex, see above.
Chassis flex, chassis not working due to wrong springs and shocks, George is doing the best with what he has. More $$$ into different shocks and springs he would have a different result video result. Boy, you guys must be bored, you really like to just stir the chit.

What kind of rear suspension is in the car ?

[Scott Roberts]

Even a bickle chassis would "flex " if the left rear shock was bottomed out..the torque has to go somewhere... so congratulations..you pointed out the symptom to the actual problem...ya missed on that one..

Read the whole thread, I watched the video and said the chassis was flexing.

Why it was flexing is not my problem or explaining that George might need to buy other parts to fix the issue. It is George's deal.

I made a comment and I agree if the parts are not doing the job even a well built Bickel chassis will have issues.

Everyone works with-in a budget. Nice video that George posted on his GTO.

Good to hear you say that About the shocks.
Cuz from my point of view you kind of got a lot of work to do on that, Not bashing just an observation. The rear is going into extension when it shouldn't/ way Too early and too much. Possibly reacting to the side wall ,recoiling from the hit? Not sure.
I would Tighten the extension way up on the rear. But if it gets worse From tightening up the extension it's probably recoiling from the sidewall. At that point you probably wanna go to the front and stiffen up the extension on the front So the car doesn't pitch so fast to the rear. This has a drastic effect on how much you wad the tire up.
Just went through all this crapp with my car at the end of last year. This crap aint easy.

[john marcella]

Fyi . Spring rate change drastically affects how the shock acts. BIG TIME!!!!

[john marcella]

Looks like its from the sidewall to me. The front is off the ground within 6 inches. To fast.
I would think the cars pitching way to fast. But the whole setup looks jacked up to me. Car is Leaning over to the right the whole way down.

XBODYTTFMF! Well done George. I have an older NA one coming.
