had 480's in the past...awesome cars apart from the randome leccy's lol. It may go to Track Days/Drift Events but she will certainly be no tramp.

Thats what I like to hear!!

I use my 360 for road rallies, and despite driving her hard I'm always trying to keep her in fine mechanical form (even if cosmetically shes not 100% perfect, I bought her that way so at least I'm not rallying a good'un)

You'll definitely have fun in a 360, good balance and progressively oversteers when pushed i.e. not snap oversteer like bmws etc

You ain't seen it yet

I'll need to rob a middle box and backbox off of another car an pelt 'em on before she'll drive, bit rackety at the mo.
You may wanna see it first-believe me the photo doesn't show how bad the fr wings have become.
I ain't that desperate for the cash so whoever and whenever suits me.

Johnny boy we'll speak about the cage when/if the car goes.

Smoothness sounds great, I'm guess ill have to lose the FF Left-Footy stuff now

as she'll be my first RWD.

nope, left foot braking is still a useful technique even in rwd cars

Front wings ain't a prob i'l get those sorted. Ain't a daily driver so im not fussed. I would like to get in tomorrow if pos, but my lift informs me it will need to be before 4pm, not a prob if you dont have time to sort it tomorrow mate, Either Friday or Monday/Tuesday next week would be good for me. or like i said, if you wanna drop it off when it suits you that'll be fine. PM'd my phone number to you.

! I thought it was uneeded to be honest...summit to do with keeping revs up while braking in a stright line or?

I think you're thinking of heel-toe down shifting, left foot braking is used to shift the weight of the car. i.e. in fwd you are still driving the front wheels to counteract the brakes and hence the back has more brake bias causing oversteer

but RWD's swing more to the oversteer side anyway?...ah i get it, It's not always ideal using power to induce oversteer?

I'll not have time to do owt tomorrow before 4 so that's a nonstarter.
You'll have to come and have a butchers sometime I don't do delivery I'm afraid and wouldn't recomend anybody buying summit not seen.
I'll have to change the front bumper too cos that un 's got me fancy lamp brackets on but that's only a few minutes even with my comprehensive bike spanner collection.
Aye got ya number, don't really fancy asking for cloud got anything more sensible you go by???????

Post by **Jason B** » 17 Mar 2008 12:16 am

its not needed to get oversteer, but can help for a little more control occasionally:

"with rwd however the technique is still beneficial when the driver needs to decelerate and slide at the same time. In rear wheel drive, left foot braking can be used when the car is at opposite lock and about to spin. Using throttle and brake will lock the front tires but not the rears, thus giving the rears more traction and bringing the front end around."
