I Track / Hillclimb / Time Attack and Super Sprint a 04 Honda Integra Type R. Bought it with a decent pedigree from Interstate (here in Australia). It had some U/S traits which I wasn't happy about and I wasn't happy with the Lap Times. Whilst I did measure Wheel Rates and a few other things (just to bring me up to speed with the the car) the obvious thing to me being from racing 'other' FWDs - namely a Proton Satria GTi which ran rings around the Honda in any corner but hit the straight and it's all over for the GTi. Anyway I settled the U/S thing down by installing stiffer Rear Springs in (16's to 20') (Fronts are 16's). Lowered the R/C. Set the Front Toe Out at 2.0 and the Camber at 2.7. Rear has Toe In (just a little) with the wheels pretty much vertical. F/R ARB are the same size. Did just one thing at a time and the Results were a much improved car. I did have a chat with my tyre Supplier and I run M (255) up front with GS (Softs) (235) on the rear. Diff is a 1.5. I have full grip at both ends of the car about 80metres from the Start Line in most Weather. I have the car a little O/S on Turn In with the back end controlled with left foot on the brake pedal. Power is then added and once I spot the Apex the right foot is mashed to pull the car straight. It's that simple. I recently had a leading Mini Driver jump in the Honda and after two drives he said the car was 'sharp, very sharp in the steering'. To add something else I can outsmart myself and waste a lot of time by trying to work out everything but I've always used mind picturing of 'how can I go flat out through that corner'? Then I get out there and try some thing's. In a nutshell I fixed the U/S by making the back end come around sooner and in a controlled manor. It's now a case of 'What Understeer'? Honda went from being 2.5+ seconds outside the Lap Record to lowering them by 1.8 seconds plus in one season. It's regular Class winner and is always in the top few Outright. Any questions???
