I ran my blue talon tsi last night. Ive made some changes to this car since i got it 3000gt rims, kum.somt. tires 225 50, adjustable shocks and front strut bar, I have a rear strut bar and a rear adjustable sway on the way. I think if I get my setup a little better I be able to do better. Currently the only thing I can adjust is my tire pressure (of course), my shock settings (front adjusts 1-5 and rear 1-8) and my driving style. I ran tight thru the turns when on the gas and a little loose when off the gas. the following was how it was set up last night. If you have any suggestons I'm all ears. FWD car turbo.

Shock settings Tire location air pressure
#1 LF 20# #2 RF 30#
#4 LR 22# #8 RR 28#

Thanks for ANY help.

 

i just go and hope for the best

 

i think most people who run there need to adjust their driving styles, not their cars, but that is just my opinion. driver seat time is golden.

 

What was the car doing on entry? Was it driving up toward the wall in the middle? And you said it was loose off?

 

it was only loose when in the turn and off the gas.. on entry it felt great. I didnt use the brakes on enrty. I was really using the gas to steer me thru middle and off the turn. I looking to figure out how to limit the push thru the middle and off the turn. Im "rookie" thinking is if i can limit it I should see better results. I didnt know if adjusting air pressure or the shocks would help me.. Oh yea I looked at my tire today and the right front rolled over a little to the sidewall. So Im thinking I need to add some psi to that tire.?.

 

well if it is loose when you jump off the gas that usually means your suspension can stand to be softened a little.I wouldnt mess with the air pressures. Sounds like the tires were doing their job. But all in all as long as the car is turning and not sliding you should be able to just let off sooner maybe and try to pick the throttle up from the center off. Getting in the corner hard is good but if you cant get back on the gas sooner than your opponent from the middle off you will get beat every time.

 

Oh I forgot if your car is pushing in the center. Is it pushing toward the wall? under throttle or when you get off the gas???

 

Loose means your car want to slide and spins, Pushing is when your car doesnt turn and wants to stay straight when you try to turn. Pushing can be caused by a throttle push meaning when you get on the throttle the car doesnt turn it just runs up the track?

 

like i said at the track last night donnie, trailing throttle oversteer.
not the car. it's the driver.

 

well, if your adjusting all this...why dont you set your camber and caster as well? Or would that be too much work for you?
