![]() After fitting my new engine i now have a fair bit more power to find the limits of the chassis (something i couldn't ever do with a 1.6 pinto). The suspension has been setup and the car drives very well through all manner of situations from high speed straights to long sweeping bends but there seems to be a little issue with tight cornering when pushing on a bit especially hair pin type bends.
I have noticed that in tight corners my front wheel that is on the outside of the corner (longer distance to travel) will squeel under load in the corner. Now i spoke to martin keenan about this at stoneleigh and he admitted that the front end could be improved, since he designed the roadster back in 2006-7 he has got a lot better at using his cad packages and admitted that if he were to design the car again it would be with custom uprights at the front to get the geometry correct. the thing that really spurred me on to investigate this further was that i spoke to tilly at stoneleigh and his roadster (blade engined) also does the same thing. So is anyone up for having a go at investigating this further and seeing if we can come up with a solution to improve the setup?
