  1. That was Offtrack. As hard as possible on the front sway bar is good however if you start to understeer on corner exit you may need to back it off a bit. I ran with the standard rear swaybar however you should find (after finding that they're crap to fit) your firmer rear bar will enable you to hold a tighter/faster line out of corners although it may make the car more prone to high speed slides if you go too hard on the adjustment. I like a little understeer on the way into a corner as it allows a smoother transition from going straight to turning thus reducing sudden lateral (sideways) forces on the rear tyres. This is important with rear engined cars as swinging in violently will result in immediate oversteer due to the lateral weight transfer of the engine over the rear axle line. Turn-in is also generally when your foot is travelling from accelerator to brake creating a moment of instability which makes getting the turn-in smooth doubly important. All good? Damn.....and like you I'm working hard to get just one car up and ready!!!!
  2. Cool. I will be at all the track days doing commentary for the drifters so don't hesitate to introduce yourself and I'd be glad to help. Don't worry too much about the whole beginner thing.... I was involved with the Gemini series for a little while so I'm a bit familiar with the concerns and worries of new drivers/racers. Cheers!! Adam, that Honda is firmly in my crosshairs also........... I liked him so much more when he drove a Torana :yes:
