A CURE FOR UNDERSTEER?

[Sam@NP]

Remember a completely different driving technique is required to get the most out of a FWD car compared to a RWD car.

 

[Sam@NP]

P zero's are a hard compound tyre so takes abit to get heat into them IMO

I 100% agree with the opposite of this statement.

Sounds like your accelerating to quick and not smoothly out of the corner. Work on your throttle progression

OK guys, think a change of tyres are in order, i did check them and they arent far off a change, whats the best to put on?

[Tony Hunter]

Phew.

 

[Sam@NP]

You alright there Tony?

 

[Tony Hunter]

I'm not sure now Sam.

What's best depend on whether you want them for road and track or just track? And also how much you are happy spending? R888 all round would be great.

Just track?

Slicks.

FWD/RWD/4WD It's alll down to your right foot. Get it wrong you'lll look like a TIT. get it right you look like a GOD.

I need to drive to the track but 99% will be on a track, not that bothered about cost, i had r888's on my westfield and did like them

 

[Goodj]

Get slicks on a spare set of 15's.

Stick them in the back (car stripped out for track?) then swap them for whatever road tyres you please when you get to the circuit.

 

[ben lee]

is it running standered suspension?

 

[nufc182cup]

yeah, standard suspension, dont fancy going down the slicks route, too many wet tracks days in the past!!!

 

[Goodj]

How much have you done to your track day car then?

Is it basically standard?

 

[nufc182cup]

basically standard, its not a true track day car, its a car that I use for track days if that makes sense...kind of like a run what you brung car

Unless it's lowered,caged,big exhaust,bonnet pins,888's and floppy tow straps,it's not a track car according to some on here.

Nothing wrong with standard.

 

[Goodj]

right, so it's a road car.

Just fit some normal sports tyres (Continentals, Michelins, Pirelli or similar), save your money. R888's will likely be wasted unless you're going to start turning into an actual "track-spec" car.

EDIT: As Tony said, nothing wrong with standard. And he knows.

But the car should handle fine, provided you're not asking too much of it
