Back again I'm afraid. I may have mis-diagnosed the problem a bit last time. On a fast sweeping corner, it looks like the front inside wheel is lifting as the back end is collapsing. The rear end then breaks away, which may have been why I thought it was hooking. It still has too much low speed steering, but I think i need to take the inner row of spikes off the front. I started on the following setup, which was similar to my first one I tried. (Sorry I didnt have a chance to try your one Richard).
Front:
middle on tower, outer wishbone, link 1A, 1 washer under ball
steering 30deg trailing
shock blue spring 35wt no.2 piston
Rear:
inner on tower, outer wishbone, link 1b, 1 washer under ball
2 deg anti squat, short wheelbase
shock silver spring 30wt no.1 piston
basically Lee Martins Petit carpet setup. except I didnt get a chance to change rear piston to no.2
yellow minipins outer row off
I tried removing the washer under the rear ball to stiffen the roll, no real help. Put it back, put 35wt oil in rear to try and stiffen a bit, no real help.
Added another washer to front link to try and equalise roll front to rear, and put blue springs on rear to try and stop it collapsing, helped a little but reduced rear grip a bit.
I have a feeling the car may have been diffing out from something I read on here, how much spin should it have if spinning a wheel by hand?
The carpet is very grippy, would a soft rear roll bar help keep the rear end flatter through the corner and stop it collapsing?
Thanks for looking
