Here's the info of my completed setup (except for wheels/tires now):

Anyway, taking it out for a few test drives, I love the way the car handles/drives now. I'm curious though, I can get a good feel of what the car will do when it looses traction I imagine because of my crappy tires and the rain outside. What happens is, I basically have no understeer anymore. The back end starts to swing out when I'm going too fast around a turn. I was able to fairly easily correct it by giving it more gas and countersteering. (I was excited because I felt like I was driving a RWD car. )

Anyway, I was wondering if that would mean my suspension still needs some tweaking done or if that's how I should expect it to handle. I think it's awesome but then again, I don't know if on a FWD car, oversteering is the right thing.

BTW, since I'm doing a swap here soon, I think I'll hold off getting the car 'corner ballanced'...any opinions on that?

 

That's actually where most people are trying to be.

If it's easily controllable, then you're golden.

 

Oversteer is much better than understeer. It has to stay controllable though, you don't want your *** sliding out on every little corner. Much easier to correct oversteer than understeer.

 

are you talking about for the track or the street?

 

Well, it would all boil down to personal preference. Also, keep in mind, that your suspension setup will be different on different tires. I have wild, snapping oversteer on street tires on the civic, but relentless understeer on race tires.
It sounds like you have the car setup how I would prefer it, but please be safe if this car is still driven on the street. Oversteer at the wrong time could create a problem that wouldn't be there otherwise.

 

Thanks for the warning. I definately need to be careful. I'm by no means a 'skilled race car driver' and I defiantely try not be act like one. I think I know my limits and I don't intend on pushing them on the street.

I wish Seattle had some abandoned airports I could practice/learn and get to know my car better.

 

Sounds like an Autocross to me... I KNOW they have those.

 

Yeah I am pretty sure I have seen one.
