mowerman Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Having a bit of a dice at the weekend with a mate`s SP250 Dart. At approx 95mph the Vitesse steering went "light" a bit like driving on ice really!! Is this normal? The car has a std set up at the front with new bushes etc. Any ideas greatfully received.Steve.

valencia1 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 were your tyre pressures too high? or maybe the s/rack damper needs resetting?what was the surface like on this private road????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Bancroft Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 McJim not being serious- blimey.Sounds like Mowerman was suffering from understeer- common Vitesse/GT6 problem- at a point it will convert to oversteer- loads of fun- catch it if you can! All down to poor weight distribution of the heavy six cylinder engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Actually I reckon Jim might be quite near the mark. Vitesse aerodynamics not really suited to high speed.......Tyre pressures and tracking worth considering though. What tyre sizes are you running?Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
