Put battery in the front of the car.
Front Airdam: http://members.lycos.co.uk/vdubhub/a..._front_low.jpg Lower the car a bit all round.  Should make a nice difference. I noticed a big difference when I moved my battery to the front, and I also noticed a big difference when I fitted the front airdam, that made a BIG difference at anything over 60mph. Cya, SaM C

Check the front tire pressures, should be about 18psi (I think)..

How/is your kit-cars suspension modified?
What parts do you have? Do you have any pics? We can help you if you help us a little At ~725kg your may have ~no front suspension when you need it. No quick fix, have you tried your local wheel alignment specialist? Matt

Get it aligned and get the steering box adjusted by a pro. It was night and day in my car when I took it to the alignment shop. Best 50 bucks you can spend for handling...I even had all the fancy sway bars and shocks and lowering, but the alignment did the trick.

loose steering in the corners at high speed
I havent finished the mod yet but in addition to the gas tank, there will be a radiator in the nose, I was thinking about creating a pleunum chamber in the nose with vents in the top of nose. My car looks like a ferrari 308 gt. heres a picture. I will also be adding a mazda rx-7 rach and pinion system to the nose.
the suspension is bone stock with no mods yet. everything is in perfect condition. camber and all is zero out no toe in or out. Last edited by ydeardorff; February 27th 2004 at 15:09.

RE: suspension fix
I am looking for very tight crisp handling, while still being plush enough to drive around everyday. Low to no body roll is the goal, (LOL) But say straight cruising like on a freeway is silky smooth, not..."Oh so that's where my kidneys are located".
Any help? I will be changing out the steering system in the car to an RX-7 rack and pinion. it welds right up, or can be mounted, using the stock RX-7 clamps, to the front beam, and then plugs right into the wheels in the stock location. And the steering column u-joint is alot easier to use than the lil VW rubber disk.

Nice tip on the rx7 steering im gonna have to keep a look out. How many turns is it lock to lock. Another good option I hear is the jetta rabbit rack.
