Post your three wheeling Miata :D

[Gene Rodriguez]

If your on coilovers or if your Miata is generally really stiff it tends to lift on one corner...
Or if your racing in general and you turn hard it tends to lift on one corner

For example:

3 wheel? Looks like it is 2 wheeling it! :shocked: Also helps when there is a big dip in the road! :D

[Gene Rodriguez]

[scsi]

holy shit thats what im talking about

I thought 3 wheeling was a bad thing that only fwd cars did?

[ctrench]

3 wheeling is the most common trait for mini coopers with coilovers...

[Gene Rodriguez]

not the first gen since they have no suspension

just shows how fast your going in a turn. gokarts have no suspension so the tend t 3 wheel in corners

[Gene Rodriguez]

it sucks when you have an open diff and only one wheel can spin

I've registered over 1.3Gs on track master app before, think I'm going sufficiently fast. No 3 wheeling because my suspension is setup right.

[scsi]

yup i've never seen or experienced my own car 3-wheel before, i think having the passenger could have made the difference.

e36 M3s 3-wheel all the time

[Gene Rodriguez]

that just shows how much grip you have :D

[bigx5murf]

and losing one of your contact patches just shows your setup's inability to maintain grip.

You can't convince me this kind of handling behavior is desirable in a vehicle being driven at the limit. I'd prefer it'd never happen when dancing with the limits of grip.

Here is a picture of my old CS '99 Sport from the 2006 DC ProSolo. I am getting just a touch of air under the front tire. I still to this day regret ever selling that car.

whenever i go into a driveway or parking lot

Mine did it with the 1.25 front bar but stopped when I went to the 1.125.

The runway is crowned, the course workers on the opposite side from my buddy Matt with my camera said there was dam near an inch of daylight...

Ever seen a continental sports car challenge race? The porches commonly lift the front inside wheel. If that setup makes the car feel the best/fastest to you, who cares if the contact patch of each tire isn't optimal?

lol then maybe your driving to slow

[MiataMatt]

You three wheel because all the weight goes to the opposite tire. Its common I'm autocross braking hard and turning in. All the weight goes to the outside front tire and lifts the inner rear. Contact patch or not...there isn't much or any weight on that wheel so it really doesn't matter st that point.

Not necessarily. More indicative of reduced droop travel whether from shortened suspension or stiff bar. If most of the weight is transferred to the outside rear accelerating out of a corner, lifting the front inside wheel is not an issue. It's basically just along for the ride anyway.

I think the intent of the OP was to see stance cars that can't make it into driveways anyway.

Edit: Reading comprehension bites me in the ass yet again. The OP did say he was interested in seeing racing cars, too. I may just quit reading if I can't do it any better than that! Sheesh.
