akaye4000 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Does anyone else get a kind of wiggle down the road with the diff trying to keep the car in a straight line. Running 350hp on a 5e with a kaaz lsd atm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Aye mines the same its almost like a little snake as each tyre bites for grip Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akaye4000 Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 Anyway of making it better or getting rid of it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DevonGT Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Anyway of making it better or getting rid of it I doubt it, that'll be the diff working. Good tyres might improve it though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akaye4000 Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 Use 205/40/15 ad08r's on the road Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Custom halfshalf setup would help a bit to reduce torque steer other than that a redesign of the suspension setup? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fiddlersport Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 double check your suspension bushes for play and steering rack for play, if that all good then half shaft set up maybe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stu Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Suspension setup plays the big part, that and the preload on the clutch plates inside the diff (assuming its clutch type).A good suspension guy can setup a your alignment so bias for a bit of torque steer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Tracking and Alignment will help... but you cant get over the laws! A lightweight fwd car, with high power and torque is going to torque steer. Modern cars have all sorts of fancy electronic controlled diffs these days, but the only way they can improve the torque steer Is by making the power even more progressive or limiting the power... You think its bad at 350bhp, it only gets worse at 400bhp+.Bringing a 400bhp+ starlet on boost with an LSD is enough to change your lane on the motorway unless your awake... They take some driving!

akaye4000 Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) Had the alignment all setup properly for it, understand its going to be a handful thats why I love driving it as makes my evo feel slow and boring.The boost comes in as smoothly as my mapper could get it to its not so much that its when im flat at about 5/6k in 3rd and 4th Maybe ive done all I can and just have to put up with it on the road its mainly a track car anyway so handles completely different on full slicks.

Socks Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Have u got an anti lift kit? Can help stop the front end diving up under hard acceleration? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akaye4000 Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Have u got an anti lift kit? Can help stop the front end diving up under hard acceleration?Nope haven't got that I'll get it and see if its any better cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ROTABOOST Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I have the same issue, mine is only 245hp with a quaiffe ATB diff. Done everything to try and make it handle better. Kind of feels like it's doing a figure of 8 dance, almost like the rear takes a second to catch up with the front end Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Nope haven't got that I'll get it and see if its any better cheers You will need to get re-aligned after tho bud! Nature of the beast im afraid, you need to drive them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

_shaun_ Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I had mine set up by a rally car specialist and it handles like a totaly different car! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

_shaun_ Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Don't really have much more info ha! I was advised of a garage that does a lot of rally cars and used to build them put the car in to them and the owner asked me to discribe how I use the car and what's been done to it so he could work our what was best for me 3 hours later i returned and it was a totally different car. He gave me a list of improvements to what he thinks would let him take it to the "next level" in his own words and said If am doing something dedicated like drags or track days he can adjust it suit whatever I want. There's no geo print outs or anything as I assume he wants to protect his privacy with regards to set ups and such like. bucketep decided he would see if he could do the same with his 4paw and he to seems over the moon. I'd look localy and see what you have to use this guy spent about an hour on the phone talking through the pros and cons of different diffs and physics behind why stretch tyres are bad for handling could tell he wasn't your average garage offering generic fast road set ups!

Amjad Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Sounds like he's pretty clued up then. Would have been nice to know what was done Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 What were the suggestions he made for the next things that could be changed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnboy GT Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Shaun, PM me where this guy is. I don't mind a jaunt down the road for a decent setup like that. CheersJohn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
