Back wheel off ground? - Hyundai Performance Forums

ftwvampftw · 10-10-2003, 03:58 PM

Does it look like my back wheel is comming off the ground? I dont think that would be too safe.. lol.. (during a doughnut). Think my car might be too top heavy? Might have to lower it...? Any ideas?

*edit* im going to lower my car regardless, but I would be better off lowering it.. then doing this again?

its very common to lift the inside rear tire during hard cornering especially if you have an upgraded rear sway bar.

dont worry dude itll be fine :rambo:

WOO pissing dog pics!

Under hard cornering that will happen. Once you lower it it will be better

Yeah, I do that all the time when I'm autoX'ing. The coolest three wheel turn I've ever seen was my buddy's Ruff Porsche doing a three wheel turn with a front wheel off the ground. This guy's in my car club and he says it's quite common for his car to do that but I'd still feel safer if it didn't happen.

Front wheel drive cars lift their rear inside wheel during cornering and RWD cars tend to lift their fron inside wheel. It is quite common.

During auto-x, I was told if you are not lifting the wheel, you are not driving hard enough. LOL

you need to get some day pics of you doing that...

IGotASlowCivic · 10-13-2003, 09:25 PM

I second that.

The shadow kills it, sure you may say its off the ground,
but from that picture.. you cant tell.

Verdict: Get new pictures.

Tell that to all those cars and drivers that win. The fastest of the fast cars usually lift a wheel up off the ground either during hard cornering or hard acceleration due to either a very stiff chassis and suspesion or LOTS of power.
