As an ex ITR owner who tracked it can I ask how you managed that?



Guess I was never trying hard enough. All I managed was one small understeer onto some grass... on the real get it wrong corner I was very quick.

Default rear end tweaked

If you look at thisthread ://www.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=30269
you will see that in an English magazine it says that the 2002's rear end has been tweaked for better stability. What do you guys think?

Default MY 2002 Suspension Changes

Check out this article from the British mag Auto Express. I usually consider them a pretty reliable source of info ... and they mention several tweaks in the suspension and handling for 2002 aimed at making the car less tail-happy.

This is the first I've seen suspension changes mentioned ... and it's the first change for 2002 that I'd really care about ...

Apologies if this article has been mentioned before, it was new to me.

Have fun,
Derek

This article also says that in Europe the price has remained the same for the 2002 model.

I kinda like the twitchiness... makes me feel like a pro for not crashing it yet Plus it scares the crap out of my girlfriend when I go through twisty roads.

Hmmm...that's interesting...I wonder if the parts are backwards compatible.

Interesting. I didn't know that things were done to the suspesion and steering. Great idea though, to modify them for bettter traction and feel.
