Found a fascinating youtube video

.... The F type was 0.8 or so seconds behind the M2cs...the CS had cup 2 tires (stock) and the Jaguar had the P zeros' (stock) afaik.

If that tire difference was real...the F-type did really well....



Just wonder if Tiff cooked the M2CS's tires via too much drifting.


Regardless, the M2CS was a ...or the equivalent..it is a very good track car. The Jag did much better than I would have guessed....these F-types are way better than reporting would have one think.

 

Wait! Wait! Thread open! I was just interested in hearing what other folks have done with their F-Types regarding 'feel' mods. I'm coming from a modified Scion FR-S, and from a steering feel/feedback standpoint it was much more communicative. The F-Type isn't bad, and there's good feedback from the rigid chassis, but I think there's just a lot of NVH suppression engineered into the F-Type that takes a bit away from that 'live' feeling. Over time I might consider some minor tweaks to add some of that back. Anyone on here have experience with bushing upgrades? How about results from increased front camber and modified toe settings?

 

I'd really like access to adjust the electric assistance based on speed and steering angle, but I don't see that happening.

People with lowering springs see increased negative camber. I've had good results with some changes on other vehicles, but the rear camber isn't adjustable on the F-Type. Front toe can make a difference in feel but I'm not sure how much small changes would be numbed by the electric assist, and large changes can adversely affect wear.

 

Yup I have a set of H&R springs waiting for a weekend when I have time to put them on. Will try that and some custom front camber/toe settings and see how that livens things up. Then will progress from there as needed - I don't have the electric steering, but the FR-S had electric steering and it was great. I hear the electric setup on the F-Types is great too, so I don't see that as a barrier.
