Taming a happy rear

[CT9A]

I'm curious how do I control oversteer? Ive tried LSD, toe, and hitting the gas gradually but I still suffer.

Car?
Track?
Controller type?
Stock tune or tuned up?

Check out some of the guides in the stickies at the top if the Tuning Forum page.

LSD, Ride Height, Spring Rates, Rear toe, gears.

I could give you some settings, if I've ever worked on that car, at that horsepower range, but you're nowhere near specific enough, CT9A. And, I'm a big Mitsu fan too, so I want to help you.

Very basic changes, but softening the tail (Springs, dampers), increasing rear camber, raising the rear ride height & adding a little ballast & moving it towards (play around with it) the front of the car works for me.

Plus...

LSD, Ride Height, Spring Rates, Rear toe, gears.

.......plus everything else related to the tune and car including tires, grip/tire wear settings, aids etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

Sorry I wasn't specific enough for example my S2K its really happy on Nurburg.

Suspension:
-20 -18
7.9 5.6
6 6
6 6
3 5(I thought a stiffer antiroll bars would help but nope)

Toe/Camber - stock
Stock LSD:
5
20
10
Hope that's enough and no wing. Don't like wings on most of my cars.

Hope that's good Melan, oh and its 434hp fully broken in and stage 3 weight reduced with strut bars

Set the rear anti-roll bar to 1. You could also lower the rear compression setting to 4, but I would think the anti-roll bar will help the most

 

[CT9A]

Really Okay I'll try it.

you didnt say what tires you're running and which s2k. the street version amuse s2k is more tail happy than the honda s2ks for example.

regardless, there's no need to lower that much & on the 'ring it will hurt you. try more conservative ride height values.. no more than -5. don't be a ricer - the full racing suspension is already lower than stock, even at 0.

also,
stiffer front anti-roll than rear, maybe try 4/3
softer rear compression dampers
more rear camber

in that order

Premium Honda S2K 2006, with no AIDS RS Tires

Thanks for the advice

 

[esoxhntr]

try what i said then

the '06 premium s2k can be pretty quick on the 'ring but you need to keep momentum up through the corners (ie. not lose much speed) getting sideways will slow you down. it's a honda afterall - torqueless wonder.

Eso Anti-Roll Bars 4/3 no good, but Jack suggestion with anti-roll rear 1 was alot better better but really stiff lil understeer

 

[CT9A]

I'm running a 3/2 for anti roll bars now with my original set up. She runs great now with only a pinch of oversteer in the corners now when I gas.

If your outside rear tyre turns red, particularly out corner exit, lower your diff ACCEL by small increments, until it stops turning red 👍

Appreciate it!

Right on...and you can also try raising the rear ride height and making it a bit stiffer. Increasing the Decel LSD might also help but it changes the feel of the car so you have to adjust to suit your own tastes. I find that some positive rear toe also helps to settle the rear end.

Can you spin RS tires with 434 HP?

 

[CT9A]

Yes lol

Bars too

You wouldn't ask if you'd seen my appalling first attempt at karting early this week :-(

Try 0.27 rear toe and neutral front toe, the car will be a bit less responsive on sharp turn, but it will also be more stable on corner exits, might also try 2/1 anti roll bar, more predictable/less sharp feedback with softer roll bar. Spring rate - try lowest front and rear 1st, then increase by 0.5 until you find the good balance with road surface, too stiff will make the car more slippery, I have mine at F 5.5 R 4.8 ( stock ride height ). Damper compression F 3, R 4; Extension F 5, R 6.

Okay I'll give it a try
