some driving school examples:

Skip Barber,
Jim Russell.
SCCA accredited schools,
SCCA club racing schools.

Not a complete list, but a good place to start.

 

just remove one wheel to be sure about spacer's. I thought I checked thoroughly and after about 5k and one spin out, lo and behold, what did I find on the springs...

 

If you want to experience real oversteer, drive an early model Porsche 911. With a rearward weight bias, this car oversteered like a by-god, and was dangerous in the hands of a less than competent driver. My old 356 had a similar problem; however, since it wasn't as powerful, oversteer wasn't as big as a problem as with the 911.

 

Socal28, I had the same 'problem'/experience as you going back about 6 - 7 weeks. And I know that it's not me 'cos I've driven and been in a lot of rear wheel drive cars (mostly sportscars), driven on the track, done racing courses so I'd figure that I at least have a 'clue' about what a car should feels like. To me the S2000's tail was way too losse and coming out at what I'd barely call 'moderate' speeds. I would have said that the MX5 would have proveded more corner speed before the back was sliding out.

You know what fixed the problem for me ... tyre presssures. S2000 is incredibly sensitive to tyre pressures and the tyre pressures can literally dictate how the car feels (ie. understeery, oversteery). I was running 33/31psi (front/back) and the front had insane amount of grip but not the back ... back was very loose. Then I set the pressures on 35/35psi and the car was transformed ... a touch more understeer but the back end is planted (unless heavily provoked). All of a sudden I had confidence in the car and was flying though corners good 20%.

The S2000 is incredibly sensitive to changes in tyre pressured and if you fiddle with the pressures around 35/35 then I'm sure you'll find a setting that suits your driving perfencty, though 35/35 should not let you down. I am running 34/36psi at the moment.

I think that what the tyre pressures dictate is not only the amount of grip (ie. underinflated or overinflated) but also how the LSD behaves. I think that lower pressures at the back (bellow 33psi)'unlock' the LSD easily and in turns the rear diff is more 'open' (ie. inredible front end grip but the back is 'loose'). On the other hand, higher pressures (above 38psi) at the back keep the rear diff 'locked' much much longer and hence give you more back end grip. Though, 'locked' LSD undermine the front-end grip and introduces udersteer ... at 39psi at the back actually a lot of understeer. The middle fround of 35psi (or somehwere around it) seems to offer the best compromise between rear-end grip and understeer. I've been playing with the pressures for a while and that's how I read it.
