why does my car understeer so much??? :P 1st time honda boy

[(Locky)]

hey guys ive been a nissan guy for quite some time, havent been repping the fwd since i got my green p's and got rid of my lancer lol

had a few cars and like to get skids on
daily whilst on p's and no turbo restrictons

NA SR s13

got rid of both of them a bought a s14 about a year ago on chromies and turned it into this
http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Mike%20Garrett/1%20January/S14/1444.jpg


so after alot of defect notices, fines and now EPA drama's i decided to get a daily

didnt particually want another turbo, but wanted something fun to drive so i wouldnt be tempeted to jump in the 14 each morning, was originally looking at a few mx5's but then i realised once i need to move even a pair of rims im stuffed. after looking at nugget of a R32 4 door i jokingly asked a freind with an integra on the way home if they new any good hondas for sale. have never really been a fan of them, but besides the FWD thing this suited the requirements good that i could carry shit around, have fun, and not get instantly pulled over as soon as it was seen by a cop. so we detoured to check it out and i ended up driving it home


EG with B16a

so ive gotta wrap my head around all this honda stuff, but so far its ok. had it about 3 days just vultured a nardi and enclosed pod of the 14 for thsi to replace dogy ones it came with, put a lil quiter exhaust instead of a cannon

its been constantly raining since i bought it so havent pushed it relly hard, but sofar handles ok for a stocker

[u mad?]

o hai

[fromdeeeast]

nice car locky :P

[xntrik]

hello.

[CB7_OWNER]

Harlo

Wont understeer when you get some decent handling mods on the car.. will go like a go kart !

[jks24]

hello and welcome, as above with the right suspension mods you will have awsome handling with that car, gl

[blk_shadow]

its normal for a front wheel drive to understeer, until you get the handling and suspension correctly set

[JSeriesDC2]

wow, you don't see clean bubbles like this one in NY. My boys would be drooling if they saw this.

[JasonGilholme]

it will take you a while to get used to FWD having been in so many RWD cars. They're easy to drive fast but its how you apply the power that will give you awesomness or understeer.

[flipfire]

i remember that silvia was for sale a while back, i was supposed to check it out

[Troy]

Welcome mate, looks like a nice machine there. Hondas are a nice quality car, I'm sure you'll enjoy it and won't regret the purchase.

[INVSBL]

lols.

he is driving daily what most honda fan boys dream for as there main car.

s14 was/is hot man

[(Locky)]

was kinda joking about the bad handling, but definatly need sway bars and to be lowered, feel like im going to roll :P


desperatly nee a stock ecu and loom, its chewing few fuel

the car is a rough nugget up close but good from a far

s14 is gay atm, got a date with the epa on thursday :(

[ninzee]

why what ecu is in the car now
i got a egb16a too and if i drive responsibly i get 400ks out of a tank if not then i got about 300 if im lucky lol

[(Locky)]

microtec

[ninzee]

[eg5civic]

why what ecu is in the car now
i got a egb16a too and if i drive responsibly i get 400ks out of a tank if not then i got about 300 if im lucky lol

lol what are you guys doing if i baby mine i get over 550ks to a tank without running it to empty either

[tiksie]

LOL!

I never thought I would see YOU in a Honda Locky hahahahhahahaha.

This is the one that was for sale on OzHonda, I don't think anyone wanted it because it was in a Breeze shell lol.

Coilovers + swaybars asap man, then it will turn into go-kart mode.

[ninzee]

lol what are you guys doing if i baby mine i get over 550ks to a tank without running it to empty either

lol wtf even when i drive like a grandma i cant get close to 430ks what engine u got

[JasonGilholme]

Locky
I HATE s13's - usually... but your old one was :thumbsup:
Difinately have to agree with grabbing some coilovers, that purchase is a MUST!
As for chewing fuel, stop pressing so heavy on that right peddal

[Tegzieboi_BAR]

hmmm thats weird i get 500k's consistently out of my B18CR with an indented fuel tank too lol

Welcome btw! Hopefuly we can turn ur rwd turbs love around n u'll b tracking the EG in no time!

[trentd]

fwd takes time getting used to, took me months after driving a rwd for 3 years, and like you i liked the ass end to be out, but now having the tegz, i now love going very fast around the corners and i get just as much of a thrill out that as i did skating around.

[Addictions]

did you havw worlok by anychance?

[(Locky)]

on tuesday i realised i had had it a week and it still ddnt feel like my car

so i did some stuff to it

added a hectic sub (seeing as the amp was still there)
seeing as it was a girls car i painted the rocker cover a girly colour
bought a front lip and installed it a few days later
added some gay stickers

it is still chewing through fuel, desperatly need that stock ecu :(

[Troy]

There is something wrong with you LOL!!

[INVSBL]

[seihoa]

Nice ride Locky

LOL at the pink rocker cover since its a girls car.

vtech yo !

[gee-aye-dee]

if your b16 has an lsd box it will feel like its understeering more just turn in a bit more or back of the power a bit eg's dont have the sportiest feel to them but with some handling mods they will feel pretty good in the turns

[kraiye]

lol @ ppl still taking thread title literally

[xntrik]

Nice ride Locky

LOL at the pink rocker cover since its a girls car.

vtech yo !

[Chriskoss]

Looking good man

[bennyv]

fwd is a bit different to the rwd dont be afraid to wipe off a little extra speed on the entry to the corner then with the right control of your right foot power will creat e an oversteer feeling giving you a **** load of pull out of the corner(im on the gas just before the apex). a good suspension package helps but i had a ball with my stock dc2 vtir.

SLOWER ENTRY FASTER EXIT..........ALL YOU NEED TO REMEMBER WHEN SWITCHING FROM REAR TO FRONT WHEEL DRIVE

[tmy]

Wheels look tops mate.
