HONDA N360 '67

The car is a nice find. When detuned to 400pp, I went about 1 second per minute faster at Tokyo R246 (online club room) with a more radical tuning. Seasonal Time Trial tricks with suspension and differential. TRL, TNR and similar competitive racers have shared these theories many times for FF performance. (Stick steering and gas recommended.)

Quite high soft front
Very low very hard rear
Minimum dampers
Maximum anti-roll
Zero front toe
Aggressive negative rear toe (-0.30)
30kg ballast at 50% to rear, could add more and offset with more power
Differential at minimum initial and braking
Diff acceleration between 8 and 20 based on which front tyre cooks first on corner exit

This historically important and very narrow Kei car can open out corners to such a big extent, it's almost like taking a motorbike around! Well worth a drive just to see familiar tracks in a new way. Much slower than other 400pp cars at R246 but may be better at Autumn Ring and Cape Ring Inside.
