Today was my first time autocrossing and it was awesome. I was told by the instructor that my rear end is looser than any other s2k he has driven. I have jumped up in wheel size, and my tires are fairly worn but not to the point where there is no tread. I checked my tire pressure and everything was fine. I am curious as to why this is. I have heard people increasing the width of their wheels and not having significant issues like this. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks.

 

Maybe he's only driven or been driven in AP2's. Earlier S2000's are quite a bit more oversteery. Not to do with your increased wheel sizes, assuming reasonable tire size choices on those wheels.

 

At first I thought so as well but he went into great detail on the differences he felt between AP1 and AP2. I still had a blast though

 

What are your alignment settings?

 

And what tires and sizes are you running?

 

Time to hit the gym?

 

Also whatever S2000s the instructor has driven prolly has a front sway bar and is completely setup for autoX.

 

first joke I've ever read from mike

 

My tire sizes 225/45 R17, and 255/40 R17. Wheel sizes are listed below. As far as alignment goes, I did it over a year ago and don't have the exact numbers. I def know that the car is not aligned right now, it pulls slightly to the right but not that bad still.

 

17 x 7.5 +50
17 x 9.0 +63

sorry, don't know why they didn't show. Thanks everyone for the input.
