Driving Technique?

[SHIFTY]

I have posted this previously on the T350, Tamora, Sagaris page and it was suggested it may be the geometary settings?.

If so can anyone reccomend somewhere close to the Midlands to check.

"Maybe it is me, maybe it is the car.

Whilst I do not condone speeding, close by to where I live is a very nice piece of straight dual carrigeway, approx 1 mile allowing you to see what a car can do if you get my meaning.

Anyhow when changing from 3rd to 4th at 6500 revs (not looking at the speedo)the back end on every occasion flicks to the right, about two feet.

Scares the s**t out of the other half and I am now wondering if it is the car or my style of driving, any ideas?."

only in 3rd to 4th gearchange? there's a lot less torque going to the rear end in 3rd/4th than 1st/2nd for instance .. so any veering off course should be less noticeable in the higher gears if aits a mechanical loading issue .. or maybe it just seems much worse because of the speeds involved.

certainly sounds ilke you need you car looking at first, doesn't sound right at all

TVR Power (Coventry) did a 4 wheel allignment on my Tuscan back in March 2004.

They did an excellent job and charged £132:00 + VAT.

It made a lot of difference, however I still have not found the right tyre combination. But its fun trying to find out...........

have you tried doing the 'full bore' thing on different piece of road? it could just be a ridge of camber in that particular piece of road. there's a bit near us where there's a crack in the tar about 3/4 a mile long. the crack's about 1/2 inch wide. but drop a wheel in it and it feels liek you've got a puncture

My 98 Griff did much the same thing. On inspecting the rear dampers one was obviously leaking, stuck Nitrons on all round which completely cured the symptom. I guess you would get the same effect with good dampers that are not correctly adjusted. The old Triumph Stag famously exhibited a similar effect but it was intermittent. It is believed to be the splines on the drive shafts momentarily locking.
