it does roll like a bitch :(

can you get some more aggressive anti-roll bars for it ?

all I can think of tbh after youve replaced prettymuch everything else :(

Mark

stiffening the roll bars will cause more sliding

Pete

Is the tracking sorted?

I know sh*ts bad right now with all that starving bullsh*t and the dust storms and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings.

FWD Cars dont "Drift"

it is understeering isnt it? i.e. he turns the wheel and it keeps going forwards...  :?:

"drifting" would = oversteer i would have thought, but pulling the handbrake at any time would be not clever yet he says he "has" to

seeing as I am board and drunk i drew a pic of what i thought he was saying was happening.



the black line is what a decent car does.
the red line is his pug understeering going around the roundabout
the green is after he has used the handbrake to correct.

i had a car that used to always do it, was caused by old tyres, they had loadsof tread but coz the car had been sitting they had gone hard

All tyres are sub 2 months old. Thinking of buying some winter tyres...

Im going to take it into a garage this week on Thursday and get them to ensure my suspension install is all sound. Also see what they can do about the roll.

If it cant be delt with I think i am going to move over to a Xantria for the winter. 2l turbo I think.. Insurance is not bad at all :)

Pete

Whoa, this just happened to me, going round a sharp corner at like 10mph and the back end slid round about 6ft, cool :mrgreen:

The road was damp but nothing unusual I had a look at my tyres n just realised theyre budget. Oh the shame  :whoops:

The only time I understeer is when I floor it and my cheapo tyres I put on there are struggling for grip.
