short but sweet

Luke..correct me if i'm wrong.

I always told you about how the S14 oversteered too much..and i always stuck by that opinion till the end.

This car looks even worse. With that kind of torque you have to soften up the rear so you can load up and use the throttle in the drift. Down it by 2k at least. I bet Tein engineered those spring rates cause rotaries have no balls and the FD likes to straighten out on it's own. So they made the rear stiff to keep the ass out through the turn for those poor bastards with no pistons.

Cheers..can't wait to get a ride in it.

TurDz · 12-22-2005, 06:58 PM

That's a lot of power to handle, very good sounding car

YakuzaS14 · 12-22-2005, 06:59 PM

outstanding...

wootwoot · 12-22-2005, 07:39 PM

God dang push rodders hating on rotaries again.....

Andrew Bohan · 12-22-2005, 08:23 PM

The car is actually springed very softly with stock sway bars, i have to say this car grips better than anything i have ever driven when im running the 275's in the rear. In the video i was only running 17'' 255's so thats why it seems loose.

Var · 12-23-2005, 01:45 AM

ok i see..i thought you were running 285's in the rear.

14k front an 16k rear spring rates..i would upgrade the front sway only.
