Quick Turn In Qustion

[Msphotographic]

just a quick question. iv got a 172 with fk konisports,a048s fitted. now whilst out driving beforei feel like it could e lacking that "turn" in i really want, i want that sharp pointy feeling but to be honest it feels ait well blunt, i am aiming to get the front end fully poly bushed and uprated engine mounts but my next track day is next weekend, i havent been on track with my modifactions so am still to see what its like on track

any ideas cheers

A hint of toe out.

anglesye , i did have a geo setup done but the camber bolts i had were to small ,they kept rattleing around in the fk konisports holes so iv got the size up and i need to see if they do , we had to force the wheels into postion with a bar to get near the camber i wanted ha ha

Oh dear, good luck.

Ditto. And also toe out or a larger offset wheel.

If you want some really good turn in, you want toe out on the rear as well. It WILL swap ends stupidly quick if your not ready for it though so you have been warned!

You'll find with toe out on the front the steering feels very twitchy as well, so don't be put off by it that's just how it is.

Just fitted all new cup dampers and wishbones to my 172 today then had it geo'd in prep for bedford next weekend - Fek me, money well spent as the turn in (over before at least) is epic now. As above though it is a bit twitchy

Oooh playtime at Bedford. Can't wait!
Toe out and Whiteline = fun

Larger offset meaning narrower track??? How would that help? I thought it would give less stability in cornering.

and a stiff RARB will make it turn in/swap ends faster/better too

I run toe out on the rear as well as the front, watch the race video's or the spins and thrills one, on cold tyres it's a handful.

But it turns in a treat.
