new theory on reducing understeer

[vasracer]

do you think that if I keep burning up the rear tires at every stoplight that I will reduce the traction at the rear by my next track day at the end of may? Maybe the 1 will be perfectly balanced then. In the name of science, I will do my best to burn out these rfts by then.

In the theme of my previous glaring flaw...I think that the DTC button is too far away from the driver's seat, I have to lean forward for 4 seconds every time I get in the car...

huh?

just put more air in the rear. I dont know your setup to make a suggestion but air is an easy way to tune your handling.

Yea do like 34 in the rears and 30/32 in the fronts. Reducing understeer at the cost of rear traction isn't worth it...

My rear RFT were bald at 7k miles..

^ Not nearly enough wear on the outer edge of those tires.
You need to go faster around corners to even out the wear.

Well i actually did a few donuts that day to wear them down a bit

Turning your rear tires into slicks in general will net you the opposite effect as your increasing your rear contact patch, don't burn them up. Jack the rear pressures to 40/45 keep the fronts equal to or south of 35 and you should be in better balance.

Step on the gas harder to reduce understeer?
