Sorry guys, just a little german talk with a friend and longtime AE onroad driver from another region in Germany. In the german forum where we used to chat, there is little to no talk about the 6.2, so we are looking for help here.

Speaking of help: Can someone recommend and/or post a modified medium grip asphalt setup with a ton of steering and excellent middle corner turning for a track with a lot of u-turns?

sorry for writing in german
not many AE-drivers in germany anymore - so I'm happy to find a lot of good tipps here!

im highly offended by the non english words on the previous page!!!... yeah right lol i dont care im just bored

anyways;

when people put their wheelbase on the setup sheets, how are they measuring that? its it from the inner or outer parts of the mounts, or total between certain shims between both inner and outer of each mount? and how does changing the wheel base affect the car?

here is my current setup, im having a little issue with the car under steering / pushing entering turns but it pulls out just fine. however if i gear it for a lower final drive ratio i can kick the rear around and the car doesnt push anymore but i over temp my motor by A LOT... any tips?

There's text right on the setup sheet to tell you where to measure the wheelbase. (farthest front shims and farthest rear)

Those are crazy temps for that gearing. How are your belts and pinion (tightness). I run mine fairly loose and it keeps the heat down. Just loos enough not to slip on the belts, and same basic principle on the pinion.

Your setup looks fine to me. Similar to what I drive in 17.5t with the same effect making it faster with boost. Two things are different. One, I have thicker oil in the rear diff what makes the car turn more and two, I have 2° toe. In your case you could try 3000cst oil in the diff and see if it cures the understeer. Another small thing is to reduce Ackermann for a stronger entry steering.

I for myself are now working on a 10.5t setup and it became clear, that I have to change my 17.5t driving style for the faster corner approaching...

I just wanted to make sure i was measuring the wheel base properly. How does changing wheel base affect the car? And about the belt and pinion, i know for sure my gear meshing is set right, theres no excess whine from anything and the entire drive line moves freely. As for the belt tensions, i cant say for sure their exactly 10 front and 8 rear. Correct me if im wrong but i counted the cam from outside to inside. I believe the temps are from my crappy fan, i was running a LRP flow ESC fan, then i decided to buy an Integy fan. Since both fans were doing so crappy i ordered a WTF fan which should be shipping out today. I want to run 88/55 (3.2 FDR) which may seem like overkill, but alot of people are running 3.2 and lower FDR's.

I copied your setup with the exception of the rear bump steering, and used my own shock and diff setup based off my track. What's the purpose of the 3mm shims? I just want to understand how that affects the car. And if im understand you correctly i should stiffen the rear end?

If you shorten the wheelbase in front, it will give more steering. Shortening the rear will give more rear grip. Shortening both ends will make the car more agile for tight corners.

The stiffer rear end will take away traction compared to the front to make the car turn better. The difficulty here is to make it turn better without getting oversteer. For me this is about fine tuning droop, toe, diff oil, anti-roll-bar and springs.
I will try a lot of settings next weekend. If I find something useful I let you know

Which 3mm shims did you mean?

Thx for the input, and im talking about the 3mm shims under each outer arm mount.

Hi Folks,
this is interesting for wtcc and all others with "rear steering" suspensions.

The toe-in vs. ride height graphs in picture 4 are nice.

Reducing toe-in on bump isnīt really mentioned, only the opposite (increasing)
