Default My car at a track day recently

As you can see I've heavily modded my car, got rid of the bug-eye look by fitting 4 xenon lamps, and stripped all excess weight wherever possible.

But I am concerned that I'm getting too much understeer - what do you think?

Loosen the front dampers half a turn (or get Bert, the semi-retired odd job man, 87 and still going strong, to do it).

You wanna get some stiffer springs on that mate, looks like you need a bit more weight in the back as well, bet you get a lot of understeer, right?

You could get the Yellow Pages out, and when Bert thinks you're getting him a hydraulic ramp and inspection pit, sack him for a proper mechanic.

You could try adjusting the driving position to be more central, and perhaps some balast(sp) stuck on the back. It could be about your driving style, looks as if you went into that corner to fast, i also doubt the 'crossroads' sign, is giving you much downforce.

HTH not HtH
