Hillclimb: Okemo II 08 In-Car VTEC Mini

My best run of Saturday; 2.55.68; my 2nd full run, I had an absolute blast.

This was the first event in the car with its new motor, and the torque steer was prodigious. I think the car will be much more competitive if I can figure out how to lessen it. Wether I can or not, the car is a real joy, and a challenge to drive.

@dmc12345678910 This actually has the Integras LSD in it, which I have been thinking may be the cause of the problem.

any luck with curing the torquesteer? I have the same problem with my racer...

@MonteBusa Hey man, not much luck - actually had to sell the car so I could buy a house. :( I was considering putting an open diff in it. Thinking tyre smoke is better than getting pulled into a wall?

Got an B18C6 mini myself with a s80 gearbox with lsd. It can be tricky indeed.

It cornes like mad though.

@car47 I know it's way to late to reply as you have probably sold it, but the torque steer is most likely because of uneven drive shaft's.

i know this is an old video but if the problem still persists, try bigger wheels. should help due to a larger surface area having to spin however might cut down acceleration off the line. only problem is it is hard to fit anything over 13" on a mini without having to cut your fenders :( hope this is an idea, best of luck.
