This weekend, we got a nice load of snow falling from the skies. This is quite exceptional for this time of year... But my Celica was running pretty good, so I took her a couple time for a little fun ride! At least I still had my winter tires on! At the beggining, my rear sway bar was completely off function (but installed on the car), because I had disconnected one of the end links. I had a unsafe feeling while driving the car. If I pushed the car to oversteer using momentum, and then press gently on the throttle to make it drift, it would drift for an instant, but just when the car would regain grip on all four tires, the front end would start to push, so the car understeered and couldn't follow the direction I intended it to go. I have to say that the snow was pretty much like slush, so it was hard to find grip anyway. So yesterday, I reconnected the Whiteline rear sway and adjusted it to the max. Just by connecting that bar, the car overall feels lighter, steering response is sharper and the rear end wants to keep drifting. I also have a Torsen diff, that helps a lot too. Anyway, I experimented the rear sway bar again. It is a must, in any season!
