Ive abhored understeer since the days I first tried to autox my former honda , and now while wrenching on the integra, thoughs of the dreaded understeer permiate through my head. I know theres all kinda of goodies to help neutralize it, those are all planned, as well as hopefully the cage will help some. However what driving advice/suspension tips can you give me. Hopefully I'll actually be able to drive this by mid winter.

 

Stiff rear springs
High rear tire psi
rear strut bar
Bigger rear sway bar
R compounds on the front, spares on the rear......

 

Probably the easiest would be a thicker rear sway and a rear strut tower bar.

 

driving advise:
slow down before the turn.

 

LOL... that is a good way to do some FF drifting

 

The most cost effective way is to get a set of springs like 25% heavier rates at the front and 25% less for the back for total car balance. F lower about 1.5-2" R. lower 0.75-1.25". Front camber -2-2.5 degrees at the front and -1-1.5 degree at the rear. Of cuz F&R swaybars are recommended to obtain neutral steer.

 

Stiffer Sway bars............

Hey AjR PwR: How did the DC2R's do at the indy? Looked sweet seeing them race

 

Victor came in 5th and Ian came in 7th. AJR Spoon S2k 1st place

 

In STOCK form.. would you consider the ITR as:

understeery or

understeery/neutral or

true neutral or

neutral/oversteer or

oversteer?

 

Second one.

 

You have an LS/GSR? You'll be amazed at the different a stock ITR swaybar can make. Best mod for us non B18C5 folk, imho.

 

Actually, oversteer in an FF machine is quite dangerous for non-track racers (Amateur/ Pro), that's why Honda didn't put such a big rear swaybar in an GSR or LS.

 

1) You have to keep your corner entry speeds in check.
2) Trail brake (brake into the corner).
3) Stay off the gas on turn-in and until the car is settled into the corner.

 

A lot of street drivers will prefer true neutral but I prefer over/neutral.

 

remove the front bar
