Hi,


We are running a zetec s track car fully stripped out inside all inner panels removed


problem we have is lift off over steer... turn into the corner just lift off slightly and the back end goes very light power in and it snaps


whats the best mechanical way to overcome this ?


thanks

Just trying to eliminate the obvious first and work from there so.....
Why do you go in and lift off, surely going in on a balanced throttle will prevent it happening. Or is it your driving style that's causing it? Do you use heel and toe?
Possibly look at tyre pressures and suspension setup, rake, front and rear toe etc.

 

Rear alxe spacers work a treat to fix it
And lower tyre pressure in the rears.

 

its on an oval so braking later into the corner is the advantage point ...but tried various methods of taking the corner even under balanced throttle the back still wants to come round .... running yoko 021r tyres ...we have tried a couple of other cars but they would not move in the corner BUT they had the weight advantage ...this one is bare lol


will try the spacers of a lower offset on rears !

thanks

 

I think your tyre choice may be part of the problem. I haven't tried them but I understand they are more of a wet biased tyre.

 

I can't remember what there called they fit in your front springs there basically a block of rubber if they still sell them they use to fit the block on I think the xr2i unless your shockers are on there way out

 

Watch this at around 1 min thats what my back end was like without spacers, It was so bad later in the day I had I blow out on the o/r tyre and didn't even notice till I got back to the pit.

 

Thanks for the replys !


going to try putting lower off set on the rears so will be like spacers !


thanks
