I've had my NSR Corvette a couple of months now (my first NSR) but as yet have not actually raced it, only a small amount of practice. Generally I'm very pleased with it but have/had a few issue's with it, have done most of the usual items of set-up, have just fitted a suspension kit only to find it goes much better with the pod screwed tight, replacing all the screws with the longer shanked metric ones has made a big difference, up to now if you loosened anything they started to fall out, however I wasn't best pleased with the alignment of the screw hole for the drop arm, nowadays that's not on with a quality product.
I had set-up the front axle and widened the track as various people suggested but thought that the axle holes were overly large and after adjusting the grub screws to set ride height I still thought there was way too much slop for and aft of the axle - almost a steerable front axle - having had some good practice at our track (North Staffs) last night I let one of the quick lads have a go (Rob Lyons) and he soon got it down to a 7.17 lap, anything below 7.20 is very QUICK he said, however he was appalled at the front axle slop.
I stripped the axle assembly down this afternoon to have another look, I've set-up the axle using a NSR 2-0mm axle spacer clamped in place by the grub screws, ideally a brass axle tube might be a better bet, then another smaller spacer followed by a larger washer and another NSR spacer, job done, absolutely no movement. It begs the question why is there so much movement as standard or am I missing something? no one appears to have mentioned this problem before.
