A Guide To A Rwd Conversion For The 996 Turbo

[heavychevy]

What are your camber settings now Zippy? Do you get much push or power understeer, which can be hard to distinguish between? I almost had it almost completely nuetral untill I went and tried to lose weight with RWD and messed it all up. You can always put 20-30 lbs of ballast in the front. Try to lose it in the back as well and improve the balance of the car at the same time. That should negate the push of the LSD by providing more front traction.

As far as RWD, I lost at least 1 sec at Barber because of it, and had I been able to put a good lap together without traffic maybe narrowed that down to .5 or so. But it was SOOOOOOO much harder. And not at all because of oversteer, but pushing all over the place.

Of course my setup wasnt near what yours is, but I'm not willing to try LSD under the suspicion that it could increase push. I need more bite on the front end without having to drift around the track to get it rotated. When I get it down, my car will be sickeningly fast.

offer still stands to drive my car at Sebring this weekend, Daytona next month or Sebring jan and feb. after that we will try to come to your sandbox if you dont want to play in ours.

would be nice to see what time you turn in my car. have you driven a Cup car around RA?? the Cups I have been with (996) have faster cornering and exit speed with slower straight line speed than my car so lap times come out about even on a big coarse.

My car seems pretty neutral. Power over steer is not a problem. I'm at -1.5' camber front and back. GT3 bars 3/4 loose on front and 3/4 tight on back. Motons? F-Me. Still trying to figure out settings. Rebound settings are confusing. All in, the shocks and springs are stiffer on the back and looser on the front. I haven't been to the track enough in the past couple of years to find the need to make any changes to the current setting. But I still think the LSD would be pretty cool. I'm just not too sure how much I would need to rely on sliding the rear around corners to compensate for the added under steer it brings.
