early NSX understeer??

[stuntman]

I just sold my Baby for 18,000.
Its very hard to get any money for a DSM even when it has built to the teeth.


I have been reading on the KV variant 3 coilovers, But It seems like their club sport would be a better choice, will see.

At the moment, they are not offering clubsports, but like for the S2000 platform, we offer custom spring rates for the V3 either with Clubsport rates, or for you specific application.

I think, I am going to stick to JIC's on this one.

Probably will play with spring rates, should be ok.

Hey guys,

I dont know if it is only me,
But do early NSX's with not power-steering do understeer a little?
Or I am just spoiled from my last car?

I have not got the car to the track yet since I am waiting for suspension, but on some spirit driving, I can feel the nose pulling away from the apex instead of diving in.
Maybe it just needs an alignment? the car is pretty muck stock with ugly big wheels on it.

Coment?

Thanks,

there are too many variables. before anyone can really help you with this... we would need to know what size tires you are using, current suspension, alignment settings, and perhaps most importantly... WHEN you are experiencing the understeer (corner entry? mid corner? corner exit?).

while the culprit could turn out to be any of the above mentioned factors... i would venture to say that the most common cause of understeer is simply entering a corner too fast. remember... what the driver is doing very heavily influences handling characteristics

+1 I took Billy's advice when i complained about my horrible understeer when I installed my Tein RE and Type R swaybar, to adjust the way I drive. I can't remember exactly what he said to do but it worked for me. I still yanked all that stuff out of my car and completely changed things around since then. My car is basically where I want it now, but driving style did change my car's behavior dramatically. I just knew that drastically changing my driving style is alot harder for me than changing out a few thousand dollars in parts. So I changed my parts.
