Asad Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 cant expect a 10+ year old car to handle like its on rails....throw some money towards a decent setup and im sure it will put a big smile on your face, as above get some parts brought! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hawwy Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 Well i took a bend at about 80 and back end came out and car spund around full 360 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hawwy Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 Its got uprated shocks and lowering springs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hou Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Something isn't right with it then, the starlet was the most predictable car I have ever driven. If the back came out at that you either threw it into the corner too fast, you rear tyres are poor, you let off the gas, the road was greasy or just driver fail!

5T4R7ET N/A Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 the back end only comes out on my starlet if i turn in hard and lift off, otherwise its more understeery and very predictable.you could of hit a bump? or braked hard before turning in ( unbalancing car) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cazzac2222 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Good handling cars with the correct handling mods imo ;) All been stated above Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 If you want helpful answers stop being so vague..... As above, these cars don't oversteer unless something is amiss - most likely the rear tires. Mine is oversteering like a mofo just now as I've swapped the winter tires onto rear only (the understeer and lack of traction was getting boring) - very interesting handling in the wet!The main thing to improve the handling is good tires after that a rear anti roll bar makes a huge difference with them.

pick1 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I agree a better set up is required if u are attempting corners at 80mph I'm running D2 racing coilovers 40mm lowered and very stiff , front anti roll bar and strut brace and rear anti roll bar and strut 15inch rims wrapped In toyo proxie T1R's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Im running a pretty good set-up and even i wouldnt attempt corners at 80mph, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
200bhp starlet Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 80 is quick for most cars to be going round corners as above invest in a good set uplewis Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Driver error. simple as that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
festival500 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 most probably your tires like most people are saying bud, I've got crappy rubber on the back atm and it can be a right handful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flaminsam Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Also is the rear of your glanza stripped out? If so your corner weights will be well out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
