Re: 1600 High speed stability

[Richard Clough]

I agree they are oversteerers if that's what you call "tail happy"  IMHO this is a positive for high speed dirt driving - nothing worse than ploughing off a corner due to chronic understeer. I did leave some room for "fiddles" like adjusting the rear toe in.  As I said, some thing is wrong if it isn't stable at high speed - one thing wrong would be the rear toe in if it is lowered, but who lowers a serious rally car?   ----- Original Message ----- From: natas katas To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, 27 August 2000 23:32 PM Subject: Re: 1600 High speed stability  I disagree, My rally car after about 140-150 gets a bit tale happy a bit.  I mean after that speed the rear sways from side to side.  This is a common problem cos every 1600, 180B rally car that I know of does the same thing,  The only way to fix this is to modify the rear X-member.  The reason it does this is cos at high speed the rear wheels get pulled out (Toe-out). So you modify the X member so the rears have toe-in and when the car is at speed they get pulled straight.  I have done this mod to my car, and now the only reason my car gets tall happy is cos my right foot makes it so!! HE HE hE.  If you are not happy with youself doing this mod, Ring Nisco and ask Chris,  It's about $100, And its worth every peny. Bye - NAT Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
