Tony Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 With the cup pending i have some "satelit" owners who want to mimic the track series... Basically the problem is this.. Corner on the complaint is severe under-steer. Gaz shocks and Absolutely shocks have suggested the damper ratios at the front need to be reduced so that weight (polar) transfer allows the front to grip. My question is this.... Is it that simple or do i need to design a more elaborate transfer mechanism? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDIPLC Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 We haven't done any chassis development on the Elise yet. I don't think it'll be long though as we have had about 30 of them here in the last week or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Not adjustable dampers standard? Fully adjustable aftermarket kits fitted. If they're fully adjustable and Gaz are recommending softening the front damping (which would make sense) why not just adopt a try it and see attitude. It's not going to cost anything. Theory is great, but it never quite matches just getting out there and trying something for real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This particular car i set and i'm so surprised how effective the change in damper ratio was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
