3.0 too fast for me to control. Help

[Ganpachi]

I've just got the 3.0 engine for my Initial D Corolla/RX7 and now it's so fast if I try to turn, it'll flip over. I haven't tried looking for an answer in the forums yet but was hoping some nice person would be able to give me some tips to get my car under control. I don't want the same thing to happen to my Bit Char Bus when it arrives..

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Tires, maybe weigh the car down a little?

tape a nickel or penny over the PCB :D
and if u painted the windows black [i did] u cant see it haha
i think that by doing this, u make the weight transfer more to the middle of the car, and make the car stay planted... ;/
also....using the stock strut bars are too stiff...if u use the upgrades, those will make the car flip less

Cool. I'll try that out. With the exception of the new motor, my car is all standard stuff. I'm waiting for my bus to arrive, that's the one I'm actually planning on upgrading to hell.

u gotta put a FAT exhuast on that bus!!! :D
with some kool advertisements too

well what you can do is get some bit racer tires( they have less grip) so you will end up taking the turns wider. but your car won't flip as much. or you can get the gear set and put the 12:1 gears on so there's less top speed

^^^^^^^^^^^^ what that guy said...it really does work. Also, the soft red stablizer makes the front grip less, and won't flip as much at all. You could also try using a less grippy surface to drive on.

Hi,,

I am just in from Mt. Akina, and I have a new "secret" mod that keeps your car from flipping! Flipping while going down Mt. Akina is very bad!!

I have a 2 cell monster that is also hard to control,, flips and rolls are common. I've done the tire tuning and that works good,, but I've got a little un-orthodox answer for everyone.

I've cut out some of the thin plastic that the packaging is made out of,, and fabricated a thin wing that I tape under the car that keeps my car from flipping over. here is a pic.
