WANTED: more oversteer, suspension settings? Options

[motorpants]

I am in the early stages of setting up a 3.0 914 for a road course (track settings) - I have limited seat time but most of it has been in a 911

I would like to get a little more (some) rotation after the turn-in. As is, the car just ploughs (like a front engine understeer) on the edge of adhesion

I am running 8 inch rubber all around, turbo tie rods, stockish springs

outside rear compression too much?

I just got the car and already understand the attraction - I did a donut skidpad drill in a parking lot and no matter what combo of throttle and lift I could'nt break the rears

Idears?

Ideas?

got swaybars?

if so, back off the front bar (move it towards the *front* of the car).
if it's already full soft or if you don't have a front swaybar, get heavier springs for the rear.

until then, try to drop the tirepressure in the front and bump it up a bit in the rear ...


simple rule:

- if the front is lose, tighten the rear
- if the rear is lose, tighten the front

PS: all this, of course, only makes any sense if the car is aligned correctly and corner balanced first ...

Stockish springs?

Whatever their lb rate, up it by 40.

Your running a six? 165 progressives or 180's will get you good turn in.

And if you dont have sway bars.. put on on front and rear.

Adjustable would be best...

Tighter the rear, more turn in response
Too tight, it'll come around on you too much.
too loose, plowage (as you know well)

If you have a front bar, and no rear bar, 180's would be good.

If you have a big front bar, 200's would be good, and adjust the front bar where you like it. (big bars are adjustable)


And.. what andy says works too..

Make sure you got good shocks..
