Possible to Tripod Dynamique?

[C.slicker]

Is the above possible or is the ARB not thick enough on non-RS models?

Will have 60mm lowering spings make it less likely to tripod?

Thanks

mine used to tripod on the apex, not sure if it does it with the coilovers not had anyone following me to find out.

Well the 1.6 has the thickest ARB of the Mk2 range so I don't think its to do with that, it'll tripod because of the live rear axle afaik.

Mine loves to do it anyway, got an apex 40mm kit on.

IIRC it is the anti roll bar tightening that pulls the outside rear wheel up in the air.

I am going to give it a go.

What angle/speed corner does it do it best on?

Sam

 

[bmh.01]

Speed isn't a large requirement, just sharpish cornering. Though hanging a good roundabout at speed will do it too.

Ok I will give it a crack.

Watch this space for vids...

or watch the news for a crash? why would you want your car to do this ????? :S

 

[C.slicker]

Yeah you could watch your news for a crash :S

Why not? I like driving and I am just interested to see if I can get the car to tripod.

So you want to remove the inside rear wheel and have all grip on one tyre?

 

[C.slicker]

^^ Ideally. I don't think it would count as a succesful execution if this did not happen.

Sam

 

[ditz]

no he wants to see if he can c**k a back wheel off the ground cornering,
if he said i want to see how quickly i can get round a corner i'd possibly understand it but??
maybe just me

 

[C.slicker]

Ditz - Dave is correct and as are you.

I just am interested to see if it can happen. What else is there to do on a bank holiday Monday in the day?

try doing it in reverse too.

lol

Dave I am sure you must tripod a fair bit? I had you down as a bit of a mental driver?

probably, no idea. Need someone to hold a camera outside the car while i try. Dont know if it will do it with coilovers on.

LOL, i'll wait for the thread "understeered into a hedge"

 

[tidyclio]

Find a road where the camber on the bend leans in and it makes it much easier.
It's the back axle that makes it lift a wheel if you got a rear ARB like cusco kid sells it wouldn't be as bad for doing it.

 

[Peperami]

Just go to a carpark, start turning, and get tighter and tighter. Eventually the inside wheel will come up, and 'CRAAASSSSHHHH' you've hit the trolley's.

 

[C.slicker]

Fred - can you explain the role the ARB plays in making a clio tripod?

I am sure a tighter anti roll bar helps, but it appears others disagree.

Sam

 

[tidyclio]

What makes it tripod is the force acting on the outer rear wheel and the motion of the axle trying to twist lifts the inside wheel. Fitting a stronger rear beam, rear ARB, stiffer shocks and springs etc will all make it happen less.

 

[d4ve86]

I dont think it has anything to do with the anti roll bar, coilovers probably help but iv seen clios on standard suspension do it.

My 1.4 16v on 3 wheels -

 

[C.slicker]

Ok I gave it a try...

and it was not having any of it!

The outside part of the inside tyre left the floor but I couldn't get the inside part of the tyre off the ground.

Oh well I will have to give it another go when I find a corner with more camber.

decent tryes are a must as well if ur not trying to kill urself lol

 

[C.slicker]

lol I have semi-decents one.
