Hi Everyone,

Since we been doing a lot of canyon cruises lately. I figure i make this thread for people who don't know about understeer or oversteer and how to correct it.

it was kinda cool on wednesday though...on the down hill john, when i was trying to keep up with you on the down hill...i was semi drifting. Thats when i gave up on trying to go the same speed as you into the turn.

 
Rep Power: 304

hahahaha yeah, i was pushing it on the turns alot, to see if u could keep up. but damn, i didn't think i was going that fast

 
Rep Power: 320

yeah i gave up on that..i decided just to go slower into the turn and faster out of the turn. Thats why you saw me up close after the turns.

But you left me behind near the middle with the 3 long turns after the other. Then i caught up on the straight.

when i semi drifted..thats when i hit little bit past the limited. still trying to get a good feel for when i hit the limit.

Rep Power: 320

Rep Power: 268

im not sure about countersteering though lol

 
Rep Power: 320

eh worry about when you get a rwd car.

 
Rep Power: 268

lol

 
Rep Power: 320

then again you do have that 27mm rear sway...so maybe you should practice your counter steer lol..

 
Rep Power: 268

lol i got a 22mm rear sway. but....that won't be the only reason im gonna start practicing counter steer....tehheehee

 
Rep Power: 320

oh my bad..thought it was a 27mm. its aite, i think 22 is better setup. you should come with us to ach next time ken

 
Rep Power: 268

i will. i do ACH more often than any other canyon, so im use to it there. its like a home route to me. i'll hit it up after i get everything i want to install, installed. so we need a tech meet guys
