...takin' the stock suspension to the limits. All we had at this point was a Hotchkis rear sway bar, R compound tires and a damn good alignment.

here is one of the better autox pic's of an evo. and if you want 3 wheels, he has you covered and then some. Generally 3 wheels in an evo is a turn in while breaking action, wid corner your two inside tires might be light but will rarely will either be off of the ground.

What caused that last one? It looks like he's getting some push (understeer) but I imagine it could also happen under trail braking or a twitchy yank on the steering wheel.

I would guess it is just R compound tires + aftermarket brake pads + Hard braking 90degree right hander. I first though it was maybe a bit of push too, but then I look at the cant of the front bumper in relation to the ground. If he was pushing it would be a lot flatter, with not as much weight transfer ot eh front left tire. Same for mid corner lift/braking. Brake induced oversteer would have the rear end flat across, not lifting like that.

Seems like most of them have the passenger wheel of the ground. Think that is just coincedence or cause the driver is wieght?

Yes I don't think that you can keep all four wheels on the ground. I mean at the Long Beach Grand Prix the Champ Cars are on three wheels momentarily.

well the one of me up top, I am not flying the wheel as much as the white one, but mine is the drivers rear, not passengers side.
