J Pokery.

Powerstation started the anti bumpsteer mod from their own research. I dont know if anyone else will do the the mod. It is done while you wait.

Any more info on this "simple tip"

Glyn Morris ? had a letter published in Evo this month saying that he has a P1 and, after being frustrated with the prevailing understeer at Brands Hatch,he spoke to some senior engineers at Prodrive and was given a simple tip which has utterly transformed his car. He didn't want to publish the tip to save subaru's blushes.

Anyone know this bloke? Does he post on here? What was the wonder tip? ( bumpsteer?fit a dccd?...)Did he get through to Mycroft by mistake and now has a hairclip inserted in the cigarette lighter? We deserve to know.

Mickle

Maybe the tip was to drive slower

Daz34

Yeah read that as well. He reckon it only costs a few quids labour

gregh

bump steer mod was the only thing that sprang to mind

Fat Boy

Daz

yep, hence my Mycroft paperclip comment...even bumpsteer is best part of £200.

Brun,

Laugh, i nearly did.....

Brun

One of the Evo drivers round these parts would of said it so i thought i'd get in there

7 Foot

Does anybody on here know any "senior engineers" at Prodrive?

If so give 'em a call and find out.

Fat Boy

Mike Wood lurks on here & Simon seems to have pretty good contact with Damian Harty (where's the ATD??)-I'm sure they would be some of the engineers consulted if this bloke really did get through..

Brun, don't do their work for them

Gordo

it's easy and has been done to death on here numerous times - fit 18" wheels

Mickle

Or maybe you can disconnect the AWD system and just run off the rear wheels, understeer solved

Diablo

Moving this to general for wider audience

Bumpsteer mod plus full suspension setup is £120+VAT. Don't know where the £200 came from. You save that in the reduction in front tyre wear.

Les

what would scooby do

I have a Type R so wasn't so bad in first place, had geometry done - vast all round improvement.

Then had bumpsteer done at Powerstation - again another leap forward in turn-in response, still yet to test it out on the track though. Car is much more balanced on the road.

Jiggerypokery

Just a quickie: Apart from Powerstation, where can I get the Bumpsteer mod done, and will it affect my warantee?
Thanks.

Edcase

I will mail damian harty about this later...

StickyMicky

could it also be the solid rear drop links?

hepster

ttt

john banks

Disconnecting an antiroll bar?

Sturge

hmm, boss is at prodrive on monday or tues, will have to make a trip wi him i think!!!

Fat Boy

Not the solid anti roll bar links, I've got those already, still understeers. Maybe as part of a package with the "Mutant Matt" set up + anti lift kit, thicker rear ARB and most important of all, bumpsteer ( which is nothing like £200, just £147 including vat ). Will be getting bumpsteer done next time I head to the west Country.

JB front arb? Maybe, but it seems a bit drastic, although it would fit perfectly with a few quids labour quote.

Edcase, No news from Damian or Mike Wood or any other"unnamed senior engineers" then?

gregh

So anyone know if this was a wind up or was the guy actually serious?

hepster

Any news on this?
