My rb5 has no low speed steering : (

[Colinevan]

Gave my Rb5 a run today at southport, To be honest the weather wasnt the best and we had a wet track for the most of the day .

Now, for the technical sections at southport that need to be taken at low speed, the rb5 was hard work, this was also apparent on the concrete sections whereby if you accelerated ( even slightly ( the car would push on in a straight line almost). I did however find that the faster corners could be driven ok, but were best when they were driven eggressively, its just the low speed ones, whereby you slow right down, then need a small amount of power just to take the car around the track

My setup, includes the 25 degree front kickup, New yellow minispikes ( full not cut ), 50 wt oil, however with kit springs so its not too hard.

First of all though, would puttting a hole in my wheel ( front ) improve the front end tyre grip ? I normally run holes in them, however i once found that when i had a b4, it suited me better not to have any holes in the front? I never queried this, just carried on using this method?

Lastly has anyone had the fortune to experiment with the setups and found something thats a nice feel to start with?


I am going to change to a softer oil - 30s perhaps and may even try using 4wd front tyres, - as the rims are wide. Has anyone also tried to run 4wd front tyres?

Thanks.
