    Honda S2000

    [ QUOTE ] AL B said: Mark, Hang on a sec, both skid pan sessions I have been on have taught me that if you want to stop oversteer in a RWD car, as soon as you feel the back-end go, you should lift-off, and apply the appropriate amount of opposite lock. If you want to keep the back-end...

    Honda S2000

    Christian, surprisingly big. And even bigger if you remove the polystrene-packed toolkit from the well in the bottom. Spare wheel is a space-saver and packs in behind the drivers seat so it doesn't take up any boot space. I would say you probably could get your kit in there, but you'd have...

    Honda S2000

    [ QUOTE ] I'm still not so sure, I've been bitten by the Audi quality thing, and I have to decide bewteen rawness and all out power over solidity, refineness and build quality. I am 50:50 split, still got the rest of the week to go and I'm going to enjoy it. [/ QUOTE ] Build quality is...

    Salt makes the roads greasy

    [ QUOTE ] S3 Moff said: It will be brand spankers Its a 52 plate, the car is a Honda UK demonstrater, so I hope it is run-in nicely for me. [/ QUOTE ] Moff - one thing you MUST do is to try it with the airbox cover off. Open up the bonnet and you'll be able to tell immediately what I'm...

    New Company Car Part 2

    Well, you can probably guess what I voted for. As for not being an everyday car, I would disagree in all but the most extreme weather condtions - if it's snowy, stay at home. 240bhp, RWD and no traction control make snow erm..... interesting Motorway driving is fine, not much noisier than...

    S3 Anti-roll bars

    Al, tried a Google search with 'Sway Bar' (the Aussie/far eastern term for anti-roll bar) and found this. It's in squiggly writing, but it definitely says S3 and it is definitely a rear bar. So then I looked at Neuspeed themselves, they list the bar as a TT bar but then they don't have the...

    Understeer, oversteer

    The best setup, and the one I strive for when I go testing in my racecar is a neutral one. There is nothing like a car which doesn't have a tendency either way - it can be so controllable, you can almost drive it on the throttle alone, just using the steering wheel to point it into a corner...

    Understeer, oversteer

    Oversteer is when you overwhelm the rear tyres and the back end loses grip. Usually happens when you lift off the throttle mid-corner in an AWD car. Understeer is when the front tyres lose traction, the car doesn't turn as sharply as you would expect for the amount of steering input. To...

    Audi-Sport Trackday Castle Coombe 2nd April 2003

    John Really sorry - but due to racing commitments (test day booked on the same day) I can't make it. Please take me off the list. Most gutted, but I have to concentrate on racing this year I'm afraid.
