I have been working to get as close to an 11 sec. 0-400 as possible in my Prelude, but it seems my only problem is getting traction. I have bought super-soft racing tires and have been working the suspension like crazy. I have been making the suspension stiffer to decrease the weight transfer to the back wheels, since it is front-wheel drive but it seems to be not making much of a difference at all. It sometimes even seems like the suspension tuning is completely backwards. Can someone please just leave me some tuning tips? Thanks.
 
I was having a go at the Prelude last night. I kept the whole thing stock except for the suspension and played with the set-up for a while. It also seemed to me that the suspension set-up was working backwards, although oversteer may bit a bit much to hope for from an FF car, the only way I could balance the car and reduce understeer was to make the front stiffer than the back(!).

I ended up adding a brake balance controller to induce a little more oversteer during braking. Wasn't too bad in the end, but still a work in progress - tyres and downforce would seem to be the next logical steps...
