197: Oversteer?

[rbrocky]

ive been noticing alot of oversteer around tight roundabouts, usually when its greasy out

but its happened on a few occations, im used to it now and can do it pretty much when i like

and no its not lift off oversteer, when im oversteering through corners.

its a standard 197 on NEW toyos
did it when i was rolling on budgets too

i think it may have a little too much pressure in the back

does it happen to many people?

thanks

Only had oversteer on cold tyres. Bloody good fun!

Pressures are on the inside of the drivers door, I go for 30psi front and back.

But as Paul says it does happen, nothing wrong it's just a sign of a very well put together FWD car (providing you catch the slide )

its getting the back inside wheel floating whilst sliding thats the real skill lol

it also looks epic


but dont worry about the oversteer if you know when it happens, which it sounds like you do its fine. as said its a sign of a well set up car if you can drive with it

yeh, had it a few times in mine, i then lowered it fitted a cup spoiler (whether that made a difference or not i dont know) and fitted wider offset wheels, then i got understeer on crap tyres, now im running v12s its better.

On a damp track the back end is very twitchy, even on r888s. 9 times out of 10 though the ESP will catch you.

Wait until the tyres are worn in, will take a lot longer for the rears to become grippy!

You can get a decent 4 wheel drift in them

Wouldn't say I get much oversteer, just a nice little ''shimmy'' every now and then. Very nice. :thumbup:
