Afternoon all,
I recently just got my dc5 and got some issues with the way it rides and how it feels under hard acceleration. When I pull hard it feels like it has a bit of a mind of its own, even sometimes when driving normally if I hit a slight bump or pothole the whole car sketches out. I‘ve seen a couple threads and it sounds similar to what I‘m experiencing and no one really has a definitive answer. This is the hardest car I‘ve ever had to drive and currently my old stage2 S14 felt like it had better handling and I know that isn‘t right.
I‘ve had a mechanic get it on a ramp and check the bushes and they all seem solid. I‘m going to get an alignment done next week and see how that helps but the alignment doesn‘t look bad to the naked eye but I know it still needs doing.
Tyres - AD08 - pressure‘s already checked.
Here is a list of mods
Bilstein B14
SuperPro PolyBushed full car
SuperPro Caster Increase front LCA bushes
Skunk2 adj rear camber arms
Eibach front camber bolts
Buddy club roll centre adjusters
Tegiwa rack raiser
The guy that built this car said it was setup by someone who now races in BTCC.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Matt
