[B]Well, when your tires are warm, the last thing you want to do it let off the gas when going "through" a corner. If you think you are going too fast before you get into the corner and want to brake, DON'T, gas it so you throw the weight to the rear.

 

In that vid clip, why did he spin out? He didnt seem to be going too fast but I thought I heard brakes squeeling. Was it because he applied the brake during the turn?

 

i just need to know some simple tips...
thanks to those who have responded

Yeahbut the S2k is considered by many to be twitchy and prone to snap oversteer. Many other RWD cars don't swap ends so readily. I don't think you can blame it all on RWD factors.

i am not blaming the car by any means, i cant wait to learn her every move. I just thought that maybe you guys had some simple tricks that could be helpfull.

 

Hondafirst- I would strongly reccomend a lesson in handling RWD , such as at a track or some other place that has professional instruction. If you want to use you're car, they are as cheap as like $150 with a professional instuctor with you for an alotted amount of time. To save me explaining everything again--- Read this thread, PLEASE. I think it may save you in the long run. This was feb 22nd. (about a month ago)

These things take time and until then, don't push it. Learn what the car "feels" like when you give it certain kinds of input. Learn to "be one" with the car. In time, you will be able to tell the instant one end or the other begins to lose traction. You'll instinctively know how to deal with it. It could be a delicate combination of one or more of: steering input, easing off the throttle, giving it more throttle, reading the road surface conditions, knowing how long it takes for your tires to get up to a temperature that will move their "thresholds" of adhesion to a point where you can push it a little harder. If you ever drive in the ice and snow, these "feelings" MUST become part of your repertoire.
Consider this: Whenever you get into a new (or different car), you've just become blind. Learn to see all over again.

 

This cars is as squirmy as a $2.00 hooker on 20 shots of Jeagermeister (sp?). Take it to the track and learn it. Get a front sway bar, that seems to help some people.

 

I don't understand all these posts about how twitchy the car is. Mine is absolutely rock solid, and you have to be travelling at insane speeds through a corner to get the tail to step out. What year is your S? I know the suspension was revised in '02.
