In the outside view, in the third turn i think i wiped out. And in the in car video in the third turn i straightened out.

If it were me, I'd increase the camber a little to around -1.5 or so. Also, maybe increase the tire pressure a bit to help if you're still struggling to keep the wheels spinning.

It was hard to really see, but it looks good man. Just keep going. Seat time is everything. If I were to give any suggestion, it would be stay in the throttle more. It looks like whenever you're starting to lift off the throttle is when you're starting to straighten out.

Given the lower power and higher amount of grip you have, you'll just want to keep on the throttle to keep the wheels spinning. Just my personal opinion.

Try an alignment change and more rear tire pressure though and see how that helps. Take away grip, and then slowly dial more in until you find what's comfortable. Once you get comfortable, you'll probably start putting a little more grip back into the car to do more throttle steering.

Thanks. Ill do that. I always say im gonna check air pressure but always forget due to excitement lol

Lol. My recommendation for that is show up with them really higher on pressure. Like 50psi cold. That way you can go out and do a run or two, and then just keep lowering until you find something that feels good.

It's easier to remove air, than add air, specifically in those instances where you don't have access to a compressor.

One thing I'm noticing, when you E brake initiate you aren't revving the car at the same time. While you have the clutch in, either floor it or at least give it some throttle so that when you let off the clutch and E brake you can keep the revs up and keep the tires spinning.

Hey guys, I've been lurking thru the treads checking out setups and whatnot for a while. I've done a few events this here, my car is pretty much stock, nankangs NSII in the rear 40psi.

Come spring I'll be doing coils and rear lower control arms. Right now leaning towards FA 500, trying to work out spring rates.
