Track Car 1993 Prelude jdm bb1 2.2vtec

That does sound mad It will be interesting to hear how it alters the balance of the car.

Haha! Actually still want to take off power-steering but it will have to wait.

Yep, 1st time on A048's in Prelude but I've driven an Elise with them & they felt
great

This might sound mad but I'm going to try with A048's on the front & Prada spec 2's
on the rear. Hoping it will give better turn-in, but if it's REALLY oversteery then I've
got some spare wheels with R888's to swop with.

That's a bit brave- especially considering you will have a harder time warming the rear tyres up...

Can't you lose more weight outta the back to make it turn-in better- battery, bootlid hinges (go to pins/springs), any more of the gubbins behind where the rear bench normally lives?

[vtectom]

I'll take it steady & build up slowly, til I get a feeling whether it's working how I want or not.

I used to do the same on my eg civic.

All ready for Snetterton on 17th Mch

i'll try and pop up mate! i'll pm you my number incase you have issues, i am just down the road!

[Merlin]

You could go and get the wheels realigned to get a bit of oversteer bias on the rear?

[vtectom]

Already running some toe out.

I'm just too fussy. Every one who's driven the car says it's very well balanced

I thought my friend's race Caterham
felt too understeery

[vtectom]

So here is my alignment print-out. Can't lower the car more at the front as then won't
clear the speed-bumps that circuits insist on having as you drive in!

Thinking of raising the rear slightly as may aid turn-in.

Any thoughts?

Snetterton Track-day.

So, road tyres on rear & A048's on front didn't work, especially
on a damp track
As soon as the fronts got a bit of heat in them, the rears let go
& very suddenly with no hope of avoiding a spin.

So then put my DC2 alloys on the back with Federal RS-R's & the car was
transformed, & the balance was really adjustable on the throttle
Looks a bit pants though



Here's a quick video catching a 911 that then spun off in front of me!



Big Thanks to 4thgen Phil for turning up.

I will post some more videos when my wife isn't giving me 'dagger-eyes'

[4thgenphil]

thanks for taking me out mate, was good to get the bug back!

the car went really well, and has plenty of grunt

still surprised at the spring rates though

[Merlin]

Nice vid
