High speed stability

[T_Pot]

I have noticed on my own race track out the back garden, that once i achieve around 120 to 140 leptons the front of my car feels quite unstable. i feel a slight wash on the front and it all feels very light up there.

Is this a case of TADTS or have you top guys found of or know for a cure for this ?

Im guessing some form of splitters are needed, but not sure on if what i have in mind would look crap

Its not just you.. when i had a chimp.... it use to do exactly the same... i never looked into a fix as i changed the car a yr later for a tuscan

Geometry should fix it... Which geometry though...

beet me too it....... made all the difference to my car - used to feel totally unstable at Mach2 Warp Speed drifting all over the place in no particular direction, geo done by Guigliami(spelt wrong again) and now planted on the road most of the time, except for when there is an error with the nut behind the wheel

I know what you mean but i wouldnt change anything the scare factor keeps you in touch with reality although doing 120-140 is not exactly legal its a fantastic feeling! last november allegedly i bottomed out around 156 trying to catch an 06 bentley that was trying to break his own speed record 180+ lucky it was on the m40 and 2am no traffic!!!!!!!

It is not against the law on certain stretches of autobahn, or tracks.... Basically it also shows your car is not well set up - which may not be so obvious to you at lower speeds, not an excuse IMHO.

obviously those numbers are 'inches per second' cos anything else would be very naughty which you would never do

although thinking about it 156 inch/sec = 8mph, on a motorway is likely to be illegal as well doh!
