car wants to fly at 6000rpm

[subarufreak]

when I reach 5500-6000 rpm, the 172 is all over the place. it feels loose... is this normal?
I don't abuse it that much but at those rpms, it's giving me more reason not too

 

[*Badger*]

At speed? or slow ?
Corners or straight line?

 

[subarufreak]

straight line
and yeah at speed, but doesn't matter what gear. just when I keep on going on in each gear, doesn't matter. whenever I hit that rpm mark...

Back end going light, check your rear shocks, very common to leak.

 

[subarufreak]

it feels like it's the nose

hope that the rear shocks are ok, replaced them not so very long ago
but it's getting lowered soon, I hope so it will be a chance to take them for a closer look

Is it not just good ol' torque steer?

I reckon torque steer to, it's most fun at 5.5k+ so get it there more often!

i get this bad too, feels like extreme tram lining, i get this in the 1st lane on the east lancs when accelerating hard from the lights.

 

[Rich_172]

I would say torque steer as i get it over 5k

Camber / a dip in Tarmac on that piece of road probably...

torque steer as said, embrace it wee lass

Tracking done? Mine used to feel a lot more out of control (as opposed to just a bit mental) before I had the tracking set up properly.

 

[bomber]

Torque steer is even more s**t with 270bhp

 

[Rob]

Show off.

 

[bomber]

Lol, I had to get it in there

 

[subarufreak]

nice one bomber :wink:

didn't even think or stood still with torque steer. you guys are right!

tracking will be done when the proline springs go on

everything for go!!!

Could be Safety mode.
