RX7 Traction

[NSX-R]

Could someone give me some hints on increasing straight & lateral grip on 93' RX7 Type R with 343 horsepower? Thanks!

hard to say given the limited info provided - but have you bought decent tires for it yet? Always best to start at the bottom and work up i find.

What kind of tires are you using? I raced a few of my FD's with Standard : Road tires, and it had very little if any wheel spin. It was on low HP settings..probably around 350ish HP.

Um, firstly switch for some racing tyres, secondly, check your LSD settings and increase them a bit till you get the desired result.

Running on N2s and I have no intension to change it because I made the RX7 my "realistic" ride.

btw, could someone kindly give me a rough instruction on how to tune LSDs please?

crikey, a fair echo in this thread. at least everyone agrees that tires are important. if you are going to stick with N2 tires, i am afraid that you are always going to struggle for grip - and that in itself will be realistic.

On the LSD, you will have to work out where you are having trouble. if you are loosing traction on power, fiddle with your accel number (up or down as necessary), if it is during breaking fiddle with your decel, and on coasting - fiddle with your initial. General rule i use, is that if you are understeering in any of these states lower the number. if you are oversteering in the state raise the number. Eg if you are oversteering on corner exit, INCREASE your accel figure.

fair enuff then.... so realistically you should be getting wheel spin then..... and to take that away would negate the reality
