ok, a few of you know that recently I "accedently" dissconnected my front anti-roll bar . Well now that I've been driving around on it for a few weeks I thought I would write an update.
I love this set up! Seering with the rear end is awsome! and I love Throttle lift oversteer!!!!! The only thing I need now is shocks....... But I'm waiting on KW to come out with the V3, but I sware I'd probably be happy with a set of Konis.....
Its so much fun freaking out my friends
Any way, heres what you do to instigate a bit-o-oversteer. (as long as your car isnt set up to understeer like crazy).
1. Late brake in to corner (Hard) and Down shift if nessisary
2. Trailbrake (carry the brakes in to the turn a bit)
3. ease off brakes, as you do this the ass end should start to rotate (Very weird feeling/ scary if you dont know whats going on)
4. as the rear end rotates there will be a point Just before the car is pointed down the next straigtaway where you will add throttle, ease in on the gas.
4. as you add power, the rear end will settle down and regain traction, and if you time it right it will settle down with you pointed straight down the road, with minimal steering imputs. (He who keeps the steering wheel straighest, longest wins.....)
5. car is settled and pointed in the right direction, accleerating away......
If you are new to driving the car at the limit, learn this slowly. If you do it wrong, like come in to the turn with too much speed, you may end up fasing the wrong way down the road.
Man I Love my car...
(I cant wait to put my race tires on for the nationals!!!)

"I know Solo only comes one minute at a time, but what an intense, non-stop, fast-forward car control exercise minute it is. Sure, the velocity is higher in road racing, but inside the car it is slow-motion in comparison. In Solo, the turns come like machine-gun rounds. "

When my car was set up with the stock 03 bar and the progress rear bar, the car was so ass happy that I had to accelerate into turns to keep the rear somewhat planted. When I didn't, the car exited turns side ways. Horrible for long sweeping turns, but excellent for 90 degree turns.
yes it is number 5. No, it is under the car right behind the engine. All you have to do is disconnect the endlinks. And NO this should not be done if you don't know how it will drive. By doing this, you will increase oversteer which can be very dangerous.

Ya thats the bar, ITs a pain in the ass to remove with out disconnecting the cat, if you want to see how it would be with out it, just disconnect the endlinks.
Incedently, I went and got the 03 front bar (16mm) still as fun as ever to drive, but now with a more Mild ass happieness.
