What would be the best way to solve my problem? I only have 7,500ish miles on my 04 so I know the tires are still good. What suspension parts would be good? Thanks

 

Driving school my friend, the rear end is REAL easy to kick out but with proper skills than it is controllable.

 

i thought they made the back end a bit harder to kick out on the o-fo's

 

The '04 is the most controllable of all the cars. Any fairly powerful RWD car will have power-on oversteer and throttle-lift/braking-induced oversteer. No combination of car setup and parts will totally "cure" that without making the car's handling go to crap.

 

i recently got an S. This might sound like a silly question but if the back end is so easy to lose (as ive experienced!!!) why is the handlng meant to be so good?

 

If you learn how to drive it properly, it is EXTREMELY rewarding.

This is probably one of the best handling cars I've ever driven and I've won my class in AutoCross for the last two years in a row with it.

 

The solution is to learn how to drive a RWD sports car properly.

 

If you think the rear end kicks out easily on an S2000, you should try a 3rd generation RX-7 twin turbo, circa '93. I learned in a very hard, bladder-emptying way, that one could never combine any degree of pressure on the accelerator with any motion of the steering wheel in first gear. Just a characteristic of rear drive and lots of power; in the case of the RX-7, one had to add a turbo torque curve with a bit of delay plus a very rapid climb on the rpm scale above 3000.

 

Driven properly, I find the rear of this car hard to kick out.

 

Just curious are there any parts to make it harder to kick the back end out? Also how would someone go about improving the skid pad test? I have read that the 04's pull around .88g and the 00-03 pull around .92g on the skid pad. How does this translate to the 04 being the better handler? Thanks
