We have way too many threads about the speed of LFS development, we don't need any more, thanks. And there is no recovery from STDs, so I don't find your post funny at all, now "take yourself outside".

Umm...if you ever get gonorrhea, syphilis, crabs, or genital warts, please go get them treated. They are treatable, therefore you can have a "recovery".

Thanks DC, I'll give it a go, and thanks for the suspension geometry guidance. I'm just wishing I would've taken another physics class or two.

I can't keep the LX 4 straight out of a corner to save my life. I'm thinking if I can get to where I can keep that car in check around a course, I'm probably moving in the right direction.

Its afternoon here, but anyways. You can find some good sets in bobs signature.
If you want more advanced (and twitchy setups), google for setupfield or setupgrid

Yeah...okay, I was talking about me, having a laugh, in what was the morning, for me, so, yeah... Thanks for the update, I never realized that there were different time zones. I'll check the setupfield and setupgrid, thanks for the info

I'm picturing an actual pig not being able to turn because his front legs keep sliding, it's making me laugh. Who doesn't appreciate a laugh first thing in the morning? Bob, do you have set up for the fbm you would let me experience?

Thanks for the input so far everyone. Personally, I've found the default set-ups to be fairly neutral, having a good balance between under and oversteer. Of course, I'm probably not taking corners as fast as I possibly could be and would notice more understeer if I was. With the WR setups I've tried, I find that even when trying to be smooth and gradual on throttle application, I still lose the rear-end. I know it's a matter of finding the right feel for me, so I'll keep monkeying around with things. As for the running with a lot of downforce, won't that move towards killing speed you would have gained in the corners by reducing your potential terminal velocity?

Well, I've been "playing" this for a few weeks now, and I've noticed something about the set-ups used by the top tier drivers, they all seem very "loose" to me. When I try and use their set-ups, I have a very difficult time keeping the rear-end in check. I've been working on getting a good time on BL GP with the FBM, and as of yet I'm still 5sec out from the top time. Is there something inherent in having a car so prone to oversteer that is fundamental to better lap times? Thanks in advance for info/advice/revelations/epiphanies and other life/race changing input.
