Yaris!

[Ryan1985]

Wos driving home from uni 2day and in the wet. Overtook a VW Bora and nailed it into a corner goin a little too fast! There wos a van on the other side of the road so i couldn't go there so i pulled to the inside of the corner and i felt the back end kinda goin and had to turn in the opposite direction!

Should the Yaris not be understeering instead of oversteering? I nearly s**t meself!

When you pulled in tight to the bend did you decrease the amount of accleration?

I.e Lift off oversteer.

[Ryan1985]

I suppose i did a bit mate cos basically i wos goin too fast and wanted to slow down! But surely the Yaris should be understeering anyway???

Cheers

Sounds Like Lift off Oversteer, Not good when you don`t expect it but when your trying to get it a grin factor of 10.

Although i am suprised you got a little in the Yaris What sort of speed are we talking about?

[Ryan1985]

Around 80 ish, i can't really remember to be honest i wos more focused on the road and staying out of a hedge!

I've had the tail out on mine before. Didn't really expect it, but it's quite fun :)

Lift off oversteer dude, my old cinq (-60mm on Spax adjustables) was pretty immune, but the standard Yaris is quite prone to it, I thought.

As you turn, and lift off, weight transfers off the rear and on to the front. Engine braking tries to slow the front wheels down too... before you know it, the now slippier ('cos there's less weight over it) backend is trying to overtake the grippier and decellerating front end.

Keep her on a neutral or positive throttle and it won't happen...

mine hardly ever does it (1.0l on gmax springs and konis) i did it on purpose tho the otha day jus 2 see wot its like

(1.0l on gmax springs and konis)

Looks like i'll have the same setup as u next month mate! Hows the ride and the body roll? And how much of a drop did u get?

Cheers

[vmail]

[Ryan1985]

Will do vmail!

a small amount of throttle steerablity is good . got me out of a couple of understeering tight spots before. :)

hi

i found that if you go round an island with a lot of downwards camber then hit the brakes then the back end will twitch about....30mph+

might have something to do with the short wheelbase of the car.

but then again might be the naff tyres I got fitted….

my gs was a bugger for it, bit harder in the TS tho, not anymore however!

i gotta admit, playin GT3 too much certainly pays off!

[Toady]

this is where big feet come in handy :) pressing 2 pedals at once :)

ryan: i have got about a 50mm drop and body roll is near none exsistant and i reccommend stiff setup on the shocks it wont ride as nice but ull get a grin factor of 100%

[Moffmo]

Knight rider, how much did it cost for your setup cause i want that stiffer ride and excellent cornering :)

Thanks

Full Koni kit will set you back anything from £380 to £450 (that's springs, bushes and dampers!)...
