Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Snap back oversteer

Stock wheels as well :-s would think they would be more controllable on the proper sized wheel and the tires look good.. Shame to see man... Every ones wrecked a car at some point though, never flipped but I completely totaled my m3 and that was a pricey car #-o wow yea mine only cost me 1400, m3 m...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Snap back oversteer

I have to say does seem like a low speed to flip with such a low center of gravity but it obviously can happen? Was it a t bar? what kinda shape was it in after? I presume not repairable but did it deform a lot? Been considering a roll cage as I do like to drive hard.. yea was tbar bud. not sure ho...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Snap back oversteer

With a steep slope, sudden impact and momentum of the car's rear swinging about it might end up on its roof at that speed. It’s pretty unlucky however. Most people would get away with just a bent alloy or suspension arm. You just need to be able to react properly to it; a bit of tuition/practice is...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Snap back oversteer

LOL someone thinks his driving a F1 car. Cold tyres :lol: 1. That was a bit condescending. 2. Tyre temperature, even on road cars will make a difference. If you get straight into the car and floor it from there, you WILL have (even slightly) less grip than if you've been for a short drive beforehan...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Snap back oversteer

Thanks for the advice! Will look into that drift thing as soon as I can... Wasn't accelerating had was doing 25 in 3rd because it was wet coming off the roundabout but had been dry and dusty for several days and then rained on cold tyres. Was heading to halfords for coolant so had only been 5 mins (...

[Mk2] [Turbo] Snap back oversteer

How would I go about stopping snap back oversteer in my new car? Wrote my rev1 turbo a week ago due to poor grip at low acceleration. Caused me to flip on my roof at 25mph after sliding into a concrete barrier ](*,) I don't want this to happen again, for some strange reason, so was wondering if simp...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] I want 450bhp, what do I need

if its a rev 3 lump then stock valves and cams but the ports will need cleaning up. rods are a good idea as well as a full set of ARP fastners. then a turbo, injectors and ecu capable of running the power along with some form of charge cooling and possibly water/ meth injection Thanks! will make a ...

[Mk2] [Turbo] I want 450bhp, what do I need

will the stock valves, valve springs and crank etc handle 450bhp? realistically this is as far as I will push my car in the end and need to know what stock parts to upgrade... Fuel pump and turbo are obvious, as are intercooler and pistons but what else?

[Mk2] [Turbo] Forged Pistons

Found 3 different brands but which is most reliable?
JE
Wiseco
CP

opinions? My guess is they will all be more than enough for the 350-400whp I want to run in the end but still am a bit confused as all are similarly priced... Also what are the stock con rods rated to?[/list]

[Mk2] [Turbo] 300whp

How much do I need to do to run 300 wheel hp? would be about 340bhp at the flywheel I reckon.... I know on st205 celica's all you need to up the boost and increase cooling capabilities. Doesn't need to be all the way up to 300whp but close to that figure
