NEW! 4150 series damper, feature packed, value priced.

Here is some more info from AST:

AST Suspension – USA is proud to announce the new AST 4150 Series Damper. The new design builds on the success with the AST 4100 series damper and the recent wins in GRAND-AM Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge, including new technology developed specifically for GRAND-AM racing teams. .

DDP Technology Piston

Our latest digressive piston developed for GRAND-AM gives drivers and race engineers the best of both worlds. Drivers love the low speed damping response and body control, while race engineers love the “blow off” at high shaft velocities. When the rebound adjustment is soft, the damper curve looks similar to an OEM street shock profile. When the rebound adjustment is hard, the damper curve looks like a race shock!

This “Jekyll and Hyde” personality is exactly what AST 4000 Series customers want: soft street ride and race car track performance in ONE shock – all with the turn of a knob!

Lower Drag Seals

High performance seals are a challenge for any damper. They must balance friction and sealing ability while not impacting shock performance and not leaking; a difficult balancing act! While the seal was originally developed for GRAND-AM road racing, AST is taking our knowledge from the track to the street again. Newly redesigned seals decrease hysteresis in the damper and decrease seal drag over 50%.

Discontinuing Steel Shocks

In 2012, most AST 4150s will come with aluminum shock bodies. Strut bodies will continue to be built from steel, but all shocks will switch to aircraft grade aluminum. Economies of scale have allowed us to switch to aluminum without a large increase in cost of manufacture. For some models, this represents a

50% reduction in the weight of the damper (unsprung weight).

Structural Improvements

Several new designs proven in GRAND-AM racing will be added to various products on an “as needed” basis. All strut models will receive a new two piece top guide assembly that separates the dust seal assembly from the oil seal/bearing assembly. This two piece design is stronger in compression loading (bottoming out) and side loading (in the turn). Some models will receive weld-on stabilizer brackets which take the guesswork out of setting the stabilizer height and torque setting of the clamping ring.

Upgradeability

4150s will be upgradeable to 4250s! Using a modular build system, customers can send their shocks to Auto Analyser Performance at a later date and upgrade from a 1 Way shock to a 2 Way internal reservoir or remote reservoir system. Some models may only upgrade to remote reservoirs. An upgrade matrix will be published in early 2012.

Auto Analyser Performance is an authorized sales and service center for AST Suspension products in Canada. AST Suspension offers high performance adjustable dampers for street cars, autocross cars and road racing cars in North America. For more information, visit

If you’re not a HADA member, why not? You’re missing out on great opportunities like regular meets, free seminars, tech sessions and much more. Check out http://www.hadamotorsport.com for more info.

Looking for AIM Sports? Auto Analyser is your source!

autoanalyser — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 16:11:52 +0000

Auto Analyser is your source for all Aim Sports data acquisition systems and sensors.

We are very excited about the new Solo and Solo DL lap timer/dash system. The Solo unit is priced at $440CDN plus HST and offers some great features.

One of which is a built in Lithium-Ion battery that offers 4 hours run time with backlight on and 6 hours without. Consequently you can just mount the dash with the optional window suction cup and go, or attach the included supplied mounting bracket to your dash for a more permanent installation.

This unit is also fitted with the latest 10hz GPS processor which is able to lock additional satellites improving performance.

Best lap, last lap, predictive lap and more can all be shown with an easy to configure display. Best of all the unit uses Aim’s powerful yet easy to use Race Studio analysis software to analyse your data after your session. The right software greatly improves the functionality of any data system and you won’t be disappointed with the free Race Studio software. (same as used with the more advanced MXL dashes)

The DL unit ups the capabilities by offering a direct link to your OBD2 port to log anything your factory ECU records. In say a 350Z this means Throttle position, Yaw rate, steer angle, wheel speed and much more. This makes for a very complete and powerful data system at a great price, with no wiring/installation.

You can even link with the AIM Smarty Cam for auto start/stop video with synced data overlay

As I’m sure you can tell we’re pretty excited about what these units offer. We are expecting a stocking order by the end of the week, these make a great Xmas gift so don’t miss out.

more info here:
http://www.aim-sportline.com/pages/solo/index.htm”]http://www.aim-sportline.com/pages/solo/index.htm

The back of the unit features magnetic mounts to allow for easy install/removal from the included mounting bracket. A windshield suction mount is available separately.

But wait, there’s more!!! The unit has capability for Auto X as well which means separate start/finish points. With battery power and separate start/finish this opens a whole new world of possibilites. The compact size of this unit means it can go in your pocket to see just how fast you are on your skis/snowboard. Pick a start/finish and see how much you can improve over the day. Or on your DH mountain bike, how many G’s in the berm, or vertically on the drop with the built in 3 axis accelerometer. Unlike the Contour’s or Iphone’s built in GPS, 10hz means it picks up fast enough to record the actual peak speeds.

Or if you want some real time data on the rental karts at the local kart track, the magnetic mount will stick to any ferrous surface giving you an instant lap timer, and data to review after your session.

Audette Racing CTCC pole and a win at GP3R

Leading the field flag to flag in the darkness

2011 is shaping up to be a great year for the Audette Racing team with success in both the F2000 championship with Remy Audette and in Canadian Touring Car with brother Mathieu Audette. Matt continued on his Toronto success with a 3rd and a 2nd to earn the pole and win race #1 at GP3R. The race was unique as it started late in the evening with very little light, finishing in complete darkness. Custom fitted HID projector headlights with the high beams blazing ensured excellent visibility of the track ahead and helped Matt lead flag to flag. Project Mu club racer pads coped well with the extreme braking demands of the GP3R circuit and provided the friction needed to brake deep while offering the modulation needed to prevent lockups. Race 2 was looking good as well with a 5 second lead when the K24 gave up and sent a failed rod through the block. The team now prepares for the Montreal NAPA 200 event and is set for another strong finish. The chassis development carried forward from the 2010 program has translated very well to the new series mandated Continental slick tire. Be sure to check the live timing available on the touringcar.ca website for all the action.

Audette Racing earns Pole, 3rd and 1st place finishes, F2000 at Mosport

autoanalyser — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 15:11:22 +0000

This year’s American Le Mans weekend at Mosport will certainly be remembered as a hot one. Thursday practice saw temperatures in the high 30′s feeling like 45 degrees C with the humidity factored in. However the heat was not an issue for the Audette Racing F2000 program and Remy’s off season training showed through, helping secure the pole in qualifying for race 1 on Friday.

The weekend wrapped up with a 3rd in race 1 and a big win in race #2 while also setting fastest lap. Heading into Lime Rock Remy holds a substantial points lead and everything is looking good to continue with the positive momentum gained at Mosport.

F2000 win at Mosport!

ANZE suspension sales and service

autoanalyser — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 17:58:47 +0000

Auto Analyser is your source for Anze suspension Sales and Service in Canada

Auto Analyser has expanded our range of suspension offerings to include sales and service for ANZE dampers. ANZE offers a wide range of strut application dampers based on the highly successful Penske internals. We have had good success working with the ANZE product on the Audette Racing RSX and Durabond World Challenge Civic SI’s.

Details:

The ANZE Advantage!

Versatility and Superior Performance by Design

Why should

You

choose a custom built ANZE Suspension over the competition?

Main Piston Tuning:

Different main piston designs are available to help tune the system. While many dampers allow tuning of the main piston shim stack, most do not have multiple styles of piston available to help tune the damper characteristics.

ANZE

can do both. We have many different piston styles to choose from and all can be fine tuned by altering the shim stack.

Rebound adjustment:

ANZE

uses a precision needle and seat assembly that is flow optimized for linearity. From the beginning of the adjustment range to the end of the range the rate of change is always the same. By having a linear adjustment changes can be made in logical steps with predictable results.

Separation of Compression and Rebound Forces:

Most damper designs fail to produce accurate control as the shock transitions from one direction to the other. This lack of control at the damper is interpreted by the driver as a lack of confidence in the behavior of the car.

ANZE Suspension

is designed to maintain fluid control at the transition point by keeping compression forces separate from rebound forces. This design provides better driver feedback and more confidence in the behavior of the car.

Strut Bodies:

ANZE

strut bodies are manufactured from 4130 chrome-moly steel which provides very high cyclic fatigue resistance. The strut bodies are heat treated and stress relieved to a specific tolerance after all welding is complete. This ensures that one of the most heavily loaded components in the suspension will stand up to race track abuse lap after lap and season after season.

Strut Coating:

Most racing strut designs have some type of exterior corrosion protection. This ranges from basic paint to the plating found on nuts and bolts.

ANZE strut bodies are manufactured with our NiCarb coating inside and out. This provides corrosion protection to the exterior and also reduced wear, and friction in the interior, resulting in better performance. This is similar to hi-tech coatings used in racing engines. NiCarb

coating is an option for strut shafts as well.

Precision Machine Tolerance:

ANZE Suspension

components are machined to very fine tolerances. This precision tolerance provides less variation in parts size, producing higher performance and more consistency. Mass produced dampers often sacrifice precision and quality for speed of manufacturing and cost. This sacrifice in precision results in loss of repeatability and consistency in damper control.

ANZE

Suspension is scalable and upgradeable:

ANZE

products can be upgraded from single adjustable to double, triple, or 4-way adjustable.

Are you looking for basic adjustments to get started but want more later? No problem. All

ANZE Suspension

systems start with the same basic components and can be upgraded without throwing anything away or “moving up” the product ladder. (Note: upgrades require a damper rebuild)

PENSKE Racing Shocks is our technical supplier:

No shock absorber company enjoys the success PRS has in so many forms of racing for so long. For over 20 years championships have been won on Penske Racing Shocks in Formula 1, Indy Car, NASCAR, Touring Car, Sports Car, Short Track, Drag Racing, Motorcycle Racing and more. This is in no small part due to the performance, repeatability and consistency of PRS dampers, but especially because PRS dampers provide superior feel and feedback to the driver. This technical partnership allows

ANZE

to create the highest quality and best performing suspension systems for sports cars, sedans, and custom projects anywhere in the world.

ANZE Suspension

can take you from mid pack to front of the pack!

ANZE Suspension

is designed around your specifications and requirements, not a one size fits all philosophy. Your get what you want, not a compromise.

A fast car is not one that is quirky or difficult to drive. A fast car is comfortable and feels good underneath you. A fast car communicates with the driver. Confidence in the car results in quicker lap times.

Quality:

All

ANZE Suspension components are built to the same level of quality. ANZE

dampers are built to suit your requirements not those of the marketing department.

ANZE Suspension

uses the same piston assembly for every level of adjustment. The same core components that are used in a single adjustable are also used in double and triple adjustable.
