Good morning H/T community,
I thought I would see what a general consensus is on this topic. I race an integra at a local dirt track it is semi banked 3/8 oval. I am wondering what the best way to get it to corner would be. Right now I am running with out the sway bars to get the car to "roll over" and move through the corners at much higher speeds with the car dropping over on the right side hard. Is this the best philosophy I know its hard to get it out of the corners straight while maintaining speed without generating a bad push coming out of the turns? My dad races a UMP modified and they work on the principle of roll over and getting more bite out of the car. I also blocked off the right front brake line so the back end would swing around upon applying the brake both seem to work in conjunction just seeing if there are any other pro tips on going fast then turning left over and over.
Thanks in advance for any comments/ideas/sage advise

 

corner unbalancing, bigger inside tires, tubular frame with balbearings/liquid filled to shift weight during turn. stuff to look into

 

The bigger tire idea is good, I am installing a b16hydro tranny with lsd which will allow me to take advantage of different tires, however previously without the lsd offsetting the tires wouldn't do anything. I think a smaller tire on the front left and bigger on the front right would make the biggest improvement in the corners and with the lsd I should scream through the corners, aggree/disagree?

 

agree... but also look into corner weighting. it can severly change the turning characteristics of a car. I would look at that also (a balanced/left turn biased could do wonders for your left turn speed)

 

Which generation Integra is it?

If you have the first generation one you can mess with the static ride heights and the torsion bars, which may help.

I'm somewhat surprised about the fact that you weren't able to get staggered tire size and a stock differential to work well.

Consider bumping your rear spring rates up a bit to help balance the car a bit more towards oversteer.

Check with Larry Jr and Sr at Import Auto Salvage in Merion, NC. Then run the following car.

 

Asymmetrical suspension, and run the backwards Rear Wheel Drive

 

I promise I will post pictures this weekend but my car looks the same as above, no glass dc2 with rollcage and door bars. I haven't tried the offset tires yet but it is coming when I get the b16a tranny in. It is alot of fun I bought the car for 500, all I had to do was straighten a door out but the down side to the car was it was automatic which I drove for 4 weekends to see if it was something I would like to do now I am hooked and I am going to put my built lsvtec with lsd tranny in for a 1000 to win race coming up. I will keep you guys posted and I need to talk to those guys in North Carolina to see what they do to get through the turns.
