How to keep a FWD car from understeering?

[m42technic]

Big sway bar and no front bar.

Its always cool seeing FWD cars lifting rear wheels at Auto-X's. 8)

Slip your rear + Massive understeer, and a snap back correction.
Break it loose with your ebrake if you want your rears out or try
to get your car sideways and snap back for corrction. btw this
is how I totalled my VW so be wary. 9 out of ten you can pull it
off if you can get your car sideways and you have enough
torque underneath you.

Watch how much traction you have on the fronts though, if
those slip your going for a very uncontrollable ride.

Hope that helps Josh!!!

Its all in how you throw the weight around.

You were with me many a time when I got the Jetta to slide. I don't know how to explain how, but just that I did. I had no issues consisntantly making the rear light enough to float around corners, thus lending me oversteer.

haha remember that time at the Home Depot parking lot in Bend? Or the time on that drive, that corner I slid around, that Joe and his 328iS went flying off... hahaha

Yes, I remember the fun times in the Jetta (god rest her soul).

4-wheel drift in a Jetta anyone? Good times...

I'll agree with the LSD comment. My buddy has LSD in his MK3 GTI and you can gas it out of the corner and the front wheels will just drag the rest of the car along where ever you point them. I was really suprised at how well it would do that.

I had a Quaife in the Scirocco, but sold it to fund another project. The Ducati 748sp. :D :D Thou I never ride it anymore thanks to Bin Laden. Bastard. So I might sell it to get an M50 conversion.

The quaife helped wonders on the road and auto Xing. But I got mine from UK when it was $625 about 375 pounds at the time. It helps to fly all the time. My wife gave the Scirocco a reprieve so I don't need to sell it but it's just collecting dust. Buyer is supposed to come today to fetch it. I don't want to let her go but....

Damn sentimental value. 2k is a good buy for such a hot engine A fiend and I thought about turning back to a dedicated race car but, not sure where we (wife and I) are getting assigned next year.
