Gp, or Tony, i have a question about the rear wheelbase adjustment on the T2. From my experiances with wheelbase, usually you can adjust both the front and rear wheelbases. On the T2 you can not. Now, most of the time i like to run my cars very short, for the agressive steering feel, so i shorten the front and rears equally. On the T2 this isnt possible, so i just shortened the rear ( only a 1mm spacer ). I have been fighting problems with too much rear bite, and not enough rear rotation, and i think this is caused mostly by the fact that my rear wheelbase is too short. Moving the rear wheels forward should give the car more rear traction, atleast from my understanding of chassis dynamics. Im just looking for opinions to confirm my theory.
Basically atm, my car steers VERY well, especially on power. Im trying to gain a bit more turn in with a spool yet keep my on power steering in 19T. In stock the car steers too muchm and you can actually feel the car pivoting on the front wheels, especially off power ( alot of rear droop ). My delima is i have .5mm of front droop, and 5mm of rear droop to get the steering i want. Im also using the same spring front and rear and i have my rear shocks mounted all the way out on the tower, and the fronts 1 hole in from the outside. Basically im running out of options to get more steering especially when trying to get the nose heavy feeling off power in stock. Im hoping moving the rear wheels out, widening out the rear end and narrowing the front ( i have 1.5 mm shims for inboard toe out in the front which i think is causing part of the problem since it widens out the front ) will loosen the car up so i can us less rear droop and more front droop. I like the shocks mounted out, as i stated earlier i like an aggressive feel. Im just looking for your opinions on the matter to make sure im headed in the right direction. I feel like with the front droop so low it only allows the front to roll so much before the inside arm hits the droop screw, so the car doesnt roll much, hence my cry for rotation.
Am i making any sense ?? hehe
