2nd gen push, help!

[Doug Ford]

I just got a 2nd gen rx-7 and on the first track day I thought the car pushed alot. My understanding is the these cars will not turn without a strut tower brace. Is this true or not? If so what kind is the best to get and where do I get it? I talked with the guy the built it and set the current track record at summit point and he said he never had a strut tower brace in the car so any opinions or help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Current track record at New Hamshire International is WITHOUT a strut tower brace. That info is bad.

1. Frame straight?
2. Sway bars hooked up with no bind?
3. Shocks working properly?
4. Spring rates?
5. Camber settings?
6. Toe settings?
7. Pushed how - and where?

Doug,

On the few occasions I autocrossed my street car, I always felt that it had a lot of understeer (stock). My ITS car seemed to have a lot of low speed understeer but tended toward oversteer in high speed corners. Was the condition dependent on corner speed?

I'm afraid I don't have a solution, but maybe my experience will help you find one.
