Code: Select all
A:From Jeffrey M. Mayzurk and also the APS catalog:
More Understeer More Oversteer
(less oversteer) (less understeer)
decrease front tire pressure increase front tire
pressure
raise rear tire pressure lower rear tire pressure
increase front swaybar diameter increase rear swaybar
diameter
decrease rear swaybar diameter decrease front swaybar
diameter
less front camber more front camber
increase rear camber decrease rear camber
increase front shock stiffness increase rear shock
stiffness
decrease rear shock stiffness decrease front shock
stiffness
I thought this was quite a useful summary.

Just to clarify, the suggestions are if you WANT more under/oversteer as opposed to you've got and want to REDUCE under/oversteer. That's right, right?

BLADEYS GUIDE:
Understeer on way into corner.................Manfoot - assert yourself more and get the back end to help with steering angle
Understeer during cornering....................Manfoot - stop being gay and steer it with the back, I told you once already !!
Oversteer into corner..............................Manfoot - good job on the entry son !!
Oversteer during the corner.....................Manfoot - dont forget to point your finger out the window on the exit as you kiss the outer apex
Any of the above can be used with clutch kick for faster application of the desired amount of foot !!
Oh and I dont recognise gay wheel drive, only Right Wheel Drive !!!

Great guide there Duncan, very informative
Up 'til now i'd been dropping the front tyre pressures (compared to the rears) at track days thinking that would result in more tyre contact with the black stuff and hence more front end more grip :? Obviously i won't be doing THAT any more...
Also just had a giggle with the missus explaining Bladeys' terminology :-D
