My Sirion M101

ok … let’s go for that third part…

As already commented, the car improved in this second race but it was not going well at all so with everything we did last month we started to think what else to do …

At that time the idea was making non-invasive modifications, in case i wanted to sell the car later, today I would say that it’s not sold :rofl::rofl::rofl:

One of the problems I felt was that the car was “very soft” as if the chassis was not rigid enough. I could not make the car oversteer …

solution … let’s fill the car with strut-bars and place a rear sway bar…or so we think…

Where the hell do we get strut-bars? we search search search search search the internet and nothing … suddenly we find the perodua myvi … it’s like the second generation sirion :thinking:, ultra racing has aftermarket pieces :thinking:… OK copy it …

And the sway bar? it looks the same as myvi… let’s bring it … we throw ourselves to the pool…:see_no_evil:

strut- bars of 4 points forward, 3 point lateral and 2 points back … the sway-bar finally was not 100% compatible (had to bend a bit the tips) but could be installed…

To finish we put camber bolts and set them to -3 °

The result? OK this is better … not perfect but better … the tail started to have oversteer but the traction was not the best … We improved the time to 1: 06: 499 and we finished 4th in the category … satisfied

The fourth race went without improvements and “surprise” 1: 05: 607 and we won our category :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes:, the Sirion began to become known and people talked about him. Other pilots approached me and asked me how I did it so that it would turn … well, It did not always turn…:sweat:

the fifth race was strange … in the first round the rear strut broke but things were improving until in the last round I was disqualified for running faster than allowed in the category … 1:04:955 the best time I had done so far

In June there was a break and in July the race was very special so I’ll leave it for the next post.

That is more or less the story until here, after the next post I will focus on what is coming and how to continue improving this little Sirion
