Lift off oversteer

[Rich2509]

Is it just me being a crap driver in wet! But mine dont have do lift off oversteer in the wet, really easy, or is it having crap tyres!

Any 'banter' or thoughts greatly appreciated.

Knackered shocks, cracked spring, s**t tyres, s**t driving.

They do like a bit of LOOS but not constantly.

Emm, me needs to look at my sussy set Up I think, oh...i do hope it's not going to cost too much to square away!!!

 

[Rich2509]

But I hope it's my s**t driving I need to sort out! Lol

Shagged rear shocks - very cheap, about £60 from memory

I have never had an issue with oversteer tbh.

Maybe i should try harder

 

[CoryColeWilkins]

My car would dCi on coilovers happily over steered when lifting off until I put a 172 axle on the rear.

What suspension do you have?

 

[CoryColeWilkins]

Is that question for me @aucky or the OP?

 

[bloke]

mine dont have do

what???

When sorted, they should be easily provoked into doing this.

It shouldn't be doing it on the way to Tesco though.

Fucked rear shocks and ditch finder tyres are a sure fire way of easy-slidey.

I was going to change the tyres, will defo, have a look and get the shocks look at.

I thought you were pissed the other day, you must just type how you speak lol.

Are you saying you can't get it to oversteer or it won't stop oversteering?

 

[Rich2509]

Queens English is not my thing! It over steers like a bugger in wet.

Mine likes to hump roundabouts in the wet

Don't lift off? :tongueout:

As above, probably knackered rear shocks.

Do you have a rear anti-rollbar?

 

[Knuckles]

Knackered rear shocks, s**t tyres, over inflated rear tyres, carrying too much speed and turning too harsh?

Which of those apply lol?

TVM for all of the replys.

I've always found it's how violently you lift off that causes the oversteer. I use mine as a rally car, and it is dead handy to be able to get a touch of oversteer when you want it. Just give it a bit of boot and then snap the throttle shut. If you want to reduce the lift off oversteer, try being in a higher gear, or keeping your foot in a bit more (scary though!). I'm not sure if the cup is more oversteery than the normal 172, I have read it is, but haven't driven both so idk. Tyres make a big difference too, if you have ditchfinders on the back and pe2's on the front that will cause it.

Tyres make a massive difference I found. Swapped my worn yokohama and budget combo on the back of mine out for some Uniroyals after spinning at less than 20mph on the way to work and I've not had an issue since. Have to be actually trying to get the backend to slide now rather than it randomly deciding to overtake the front

 

[Rich2509]

Tyres I have on are some cheap crap. Defo going to invest in some good quality tyres. Thanks to all who have reply.

Love this forum!! So much info available. It's a one stop shop for all RS Clio matters.

And when you're bored, GC has stuff you will never forget, but most definitely want to!

 

[Rich2509]

What's GC pal? Is this opening a can of worms!?!

It'll definitely be due to budget tyres. I spun my 172 on a roundabout because it had a pair of Infinity tyres on the rear.
