Thanks for the clarification. I feel like I had some misinformation on the systems but this makes it more clear.Exactly why I was asking if he tried it with the system fully off.
If I'm understanding you correctly it sounds like you are talking about left foot braking, lightly applying the brakes mid corner to transfer more weight to the front and break traction in the rear. In short, yes this works very well in this car, I have only been able to do this at an autocross but this car rotates wonderfully with a little bit of left foot braking. Around a decreasing radius sweeper a quick stab at the brakes mid corner and a flick of the wheel and you can feel the rear end wiggle, break loose then come around nicely.So, there's an old rally technique that was used on front wheel drive cars; both pedals.
The problem being addressed is that most front wheel drive cars understeer. Applying power in a corner only makes understeer more, So while accelerating out of a turn, the brakes are applied lightly. This has a gyroscopic effect on the front wheels, which in turn causes the rear wheels to break away, allowing a front wheel drive car to four wheel drift. The angle of the car in the turn can be adjusted by applying more or less brake to tighten or loosen the line. I used to use this in my old VW Rabbit on sweepers in the rain. .. Has anyone tried it with ESC fully on, or in Sport mode?
I mentioned it to instructors at OA and they acted like they had never heard of it (too young?), but also said "no trail braking" even tho they did it themselves.
Very likely that's causing the ABS system to act up. Rear tires slowing down at a slower rate may cause ABS to think your front tires are sliding.Factory alignment and Porterfield r4-s pads up front only.
