understeer ?

Post by stylussprinter »

Then you've either got too much camber or not enough wedge. If you have a lot of camber , say 3 degrees , then you will get understeer unless you enter a LOT faster than previously to get the benefit of the grip to be found when the car lifts , making the tyre level with the tarmac again.
I just love the Stylus but she keeps swallowing £££ !

Did sorting the toe and camber reduce the odd feeling at speed?

What i've guessed at has resulted in an amazing transformation, it stays in a straight line under very heavy braking instead of the rear end trying to swap with the front and under throttle it doesn't weave across the road like i have rugby balls for wheels, Wednesday we will go out again if you want and have another vehicle swap.

Rob, i have adjusted the camber as advised by Tim but only roughly i will buy a gauge soon as i want to sort that before Llandow as i don't want to waste too much track time, also i need to set toe which has improved BUT doing it by eye doesn't cut the mustard :wink: as for wedge i'm running 22mm
