Youre talking about understeer on entry, then say it turns off throttle, then you're talking about understeer on throttle. What exactly is the issue?
You shouldn't be on throttle at corner entry.
You shouldn't be on throttle at corner entry.
that's great news! I'm happy to hear that it's my driving that needs improvement.Almost all cars understeer there. Lift off the throttle earlier in the last left link to get the car to rotate, then back to power to stabilize the rest of the car and accelerate out of it.
Adjust the aggressiveness and amount of the throttle lift according to the cars balance to not cause the front to bite too much. An aggresive lift off throttle completely will cause the car to aggressively add front grip and possibly oversteer. So adjust your lift accordingly and then use the throttle to regain rear grip by inducing that on throttle understeer.
Work on driving technique because if you balance the car out on throttle with suspension or aero in that condition, then when you lift, you'll get way more oversteer. Since your car turns off throttle it sounds like you have a decent balance, and just need to work on driving.
+1000Raj for the win!

Yes, 2nd Gen Eclipse rear seats buckle IIRC.Regan, what buckle did you use? Was it from an Eclipse?
Just finished watching your Track Day Prep and Getting Into the Zone video. Well done! Great reference for anyone prepping for their first (or many) track day. Thanks for putting this together.
This whole video thing is new to me ��
Youtube video uploaded. This was taken with my cellphone inside my garage so the resonance is all screwy. Even my car sounds like it's idling like a v8. Keep in mind cellphones mics tend to be tuned to pick up the human voice range best. Not exhaust or noisy clutch frequencies lol.
You should compare the volume of my engine/exhaust at idle and at rpm compared to the sound of the floating clutch. I will say that the circumstances in this video make the clutch sound louder than it is (honestly speaking). For comparison my exhaust valves are closed in this video and in this config its slightly quieter than a Taitec GTLW on stock cats. http://youtu.be/51OMJtsOae0 I start depressing the clutch pedal at 18secs and progressively continue to do throughout the vid.
Around 46 secs you can see the responsiveness of the LWFW. It could be better but its perfect for a street driven NA car imo. I'm CTSC so it's a little slower recovering.
Yes, still have the OSG clutch. Still smiles all around. No noticeable degradation so far. Noise has gotten maybe 25% louder though.Wow what a thread!
Do you still have the OS Clutch? I'm considering it
^ Awesome, I watched it from beginning to end. Very informative, I learned a lot. How often do you wash the underbody? Looks cleaner than my engine bay
Loved the video [emoji106]especially all the details shown with your NSX on the lift. It is packed with great info and your car just gets more awesome!
FWIW my OS Giken diff has had Motul 75/140 for a while which works for me, living with a little noise in parking lots and sharp turns from a stop. I know I could have it quieter going heavier on the fluid but this is my sweet spot preserving my synchros. I am curious what your special sauce you come up with so please keep posting here.
Last thing in the Farah review where he says the other white NSX rode smoother, were you on 9k/9k springs? (This is from memory but I can post the timestamp.) Anyway I am on Swift 9k/7k on KWV3 and I like how that works for me on PSC2 tires and admittedly some wannabe racecar delusions. The suspension stuff will always be intriguing especially when you can learn from others experience.
Thanks again for the terrific video.!
I have used it for about 6k miles.. only 3 track days but lots of twisties.
Any chance you'd be able to compare (like at nsxpo or a track day) with a someone's diff that's been WPC treated?
