FWD LET with F28 Virtually no understeer

[LE16]

Anyone else find this?

I have got virtually no understeer on my FWD LET SE5. Probably coz it has so much power it pulls me out of understeer before it happens.

your obviously not trying to turn fast enough [img]/tongue.gif[/img] i get understeer in my 4x4 turbo if i push it a bit much.

[nikp]

Yup, not trying hard enough. And you shouldn't have to really try either! It's quite easy to understeer the cally.

If you get oversteer, try using the handbrake to spin yourself straight [img]/smile.gif[/img]

Understeer isnt caused by power, thats wheelspin. It aint garbage and i drive it hard. Have had both the 4x4 and fwd and I have virtually no understeer - simple as.

[nikp]

Understeer is not caused by power! or wheelspin It's caused by a loss of traction in the front wheels. This loss of traction can be caused by many factors. Ice, water, tyres, weight of front end (One of the reasons the calibra suffers so easily from it - it has a LOT of weight up front), design, torque applied, momentum, etc, etc.

If you aint got any understeer in a front wheel drive turbo calibra, then you're obviously driving it like a granny.

I would suggest possibly the engine isn't making peak power perhaps? you didn't have a boost gauge did you? have you fitted one yet?

power or no power provided it can do 20mph before a tight corner it will understeer..., a 1.0 nova understeers just like any other FWD car

this guy is either on a windup or he does not know what understeer is

[Stupink]

Agreed, however hence he's on about it because its a let and "has so much power it pulls it out", i presume he's booting it.. you can't boot a fwd let around a corner even *under* 20mph lol. not unless you're at daytona perhaps? lol.

Never a truer word spoken! You can sneeze and get a calibra to understeer!

[T.F.S.]

yea, the only way you can "pull it out" is if you have backed off the throttle mid corner and got it wrong, back comes out, lift off oversteer.....apply throttle to pull car out

some of us did realise that mate..

I never use to really see any understeer on my ecotec.

On the turbo, I can drift her

[Rusty_CallyT]

how the hell do you drift it?
