Bhaal Neutral Newbie February 2, 2003 Share February 2, 2003 Hi Does anyone experience this before. I drove quite far and long in the heavy downpour during CNY eve and when i enter the carpark, my steering and clutch feels funny and over responsive. My car swerve quite a lot during a stretch of road in the MSCP and the clutch feels funny, like slipping. That particular stretch is very smooth and have a layer of water so i'm not sure if that is the cause. Anyway the car is back to normal in the next day. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackford Neutral Newbie February 3, 2003 Share February 3, 2003 Think it is due to tyres. When it is raining esp heavy rain, you will be driving on wet road, thus leading to water panning ( not sure if this is the term... but it is one of the theory question for car test ) Check your speed when driving in the rain, I have seen cars skid in rain before so am not surprise by the lack of control. Think there is no problem with your car... but do check those tyres threads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky8807 1st Gear February 3, 2003 Share February 3, 2003 Hi, What you are feeling is the poor or no friction between your tyres and ground at that point of time. Don't think anything wrong with your clutch. Feeling funny is because you have not encountered such things b4. The MSCP can be slippery when wet of worst still some oil slick on the floor also. So, driving in the MSCP is better to drive at a slow speed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saaber Neutral Newbie February 3, 2003 Share February 3, 2003 (edited) It is common....when the floor of the MSCP is wet....the tyre doesn't grip well and so what you are feeling is actually tyres slipping....

Chris_ck Neutral Newbie February 4, 2003 Share February 4, 2003 Yup should be the tyres and the ground of the MSCP. My MSCP is like that too until they changed the compound on the floor. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
