Sideways

[Andi RT]

does anybody else have this problem??

if so how is it sold. i have a mid range tyre on at the mo and the thing still goes around like a little beast.

NOT Good.

slow down?

 

[Andi RT]

well that has crossed my mind a few times, but a couple of my mates all say their clios have a tendancy to slide. i used to have a AX GT and that went around bends like a go-kart

Sounds like your travelling to fast for the conditions. Are they standard wheels?

My bike wheel on my bike came out when i broke quite quick in the wet... now thats scary!

 

[Andi RT]

no they are 15s on fulda tyres. mid range tyre should be ok. i just dont have confidence in her anymore. ive been tempted by the saxo vtr. i know theyve been done but they handle well.

 

[iceblue182]

i used to cr*p myself when that happend mike

AndiRT the clio is prone to a bit of lift of oversteer but you do have to provoke it.

unless your running different wheels or tyres it should be ok until you push it

 

[Andi RT]

yeah i thought all torsion bar cars are a little prone but this did surprise me.

i was running steelies for a while and that went sideways everywhere, scared me alot but now im back on my rims i should have faith in her a lil more.

By the way, its a bit unfair to compare a VTR or AXGT which are fairly sporty cars, to an rt with different alloys. The RT is just a around town car with no sport inclination. Maybe if you compared an rsi, you might get a better comparison.

is the rsi THAT different to an rt tho?

its like comparing my 1.4 alize to a 1.4 sport- same engine and not that different a setup

Not that i know 100%, but i thought the RSI was a 1.8 and had a slightly sportier set up.

u r right mate, for some reason i thought the rsi was a smaller unit even tho I was once interested in one before I knew how much insurance would be!

this headache is affecting my brain.........

Slow down and youre problem is solved!

As said above youre not in a sports model so wont be able to corner as quick as others.
