He won STX. And he ran the tires for contingency purposes. Thats it. The Hankooks are a faster tire in the right conditions. The R1R's are the faster tire in the right conditions.

Re: Wider rear tires on a FWD car...

It was on the SE-R. I never messed with spacers on the Civic - just ride height and rear alignment.

Re: Wider rear tires on a FWD car...

I'm having issues with accepting that wider rear track width will increase entry oversteer. Wider track widths decrease TLLTD - so the rear is going to transfer less load across its axle pair and...

Re: Vehicle Dynamics and Damping by Jan Zuijdijk

2 squared = 4
4 x 400 = 1600
1600 x .5 = 800


I didn't even need a calculator :)

Re: Vehicle Dynamics and Damping by Jan Zuijdijk

Compression and gas lift. Jan's point about rebound and bars follow each other. Both lighten the inside tire and cause it to skip over the surface and reduce that available grip from that tire.

Re: Loping Idle on 89 Civic Si

Guarantee you its the alternator going and you are running off battery power. As the engine starts to die - the IACV pops open and it revs up.

Re: Motion ratios and damper piston velocity...how hard can it be?

You were right the first time Scott.

Summation of moments around the inner pivot point

F1 = force at outer ball joint
F2 = force at shock pivot point (opposite direction of F1)

Re: Motion ratios and damper piston velocity...how hard can it be?

He's right.

Tangential Velocity at the ball joint (assuming MR of 1) = 4in/sec

Angular Velocity (constant along the entire rigid control arm) = TanVel/Radius or 4/1

So W = 4 rad/s

W = V/R
