Hi all,

tried the search but couldn't find anything on this subject.

I just bought a second hand stock '99 S2k in mint condition.

The only problem I have with the car is that it veers off to the right when I step on the gas, and veers off to the left when I release the throttle again. The veering-off is strong enough for me needing to counter-steer to keep the car going straight. This is slightly irritating during normal road use, and upsets the balance of the car when shifting through gears on full load, for example from 2dn to 3rd on max-revs. Besides, if the rear-axle is at an off-angle under that car on load this may cause excessive wear on the diff gears and tires.

Surely, this can't be normal behaviour? Or does it have to do with weight transfer, toe-in and all that?

I noticed this during the test run before purchase and mentioned it to the dealer. They had the suspension re-aligned (or whatchamacallit) before delivery by a specialised company; toe-in, camber, caster, the works all to factory specification.

Apparently, this didn't solve the problem. I'm a bit suprised because they maintain multiple S2000s and some NSXes, so one would think they know what they are doing.

Has any of you noticed this kind of behaviour? Any hints on what the problem could be?

TIA, gr. Michel

 

Check tire preasure?

 

CHECK TYRE PRESSURE!!!!
lots of people encountered that problem, and the solution is simple!
remember the recomended pressures are 32 PSI all round

 

you might have a nail in one of your rear tires.This same thing happens to me when i get a nail on one of the tires and also check tire pressure it may be low.

 

Tyre pressure

 

are the roads crowned, if the tire pressure is ok?

public roads are usually made at a slight tilt so the water doesn't just collect on the top of the road

 

Get an alignment, add some rear toe in

 

Before you go off paying for an alignment, listen to those who are telling you .......

TIRE PRESSURES!

 

Gee you guys, you almost make me think I should check the tire pressure :-)

Thanks, I

 

Does a 1999 S2000 exist, I thought a 2000 model was the first year.
