front lsd.

mr2 turbo gearbox? whatever, you need a front lsd to fix throttle-on understeer

however you can compensate for an understeering car by the way you drive, it's called weight transfer.

Maybe that's why it feels different for me? I oversteer every corner in the winter time without using the handbrake... I wonder if it's just the way I drive. Idk.

Either way, I feel like the rear adjustments have made the largest difference.

If you're experiencing oversteer in that situation I imagine it's past the apex of the turn, at the point where you've leaned off the throttle, and especially whilst applying brakes, so the front tucks in which causes the rear to swing around.

Wow so many replies, thanks for the input everyone.
I have been practicing correct corner entry and handling of the car, which is certianly helping. I feel like I have farely grippy tires, theyre obviously not race grade but theyre decent, Il throw a pciture up when I get around to it, for more input.

But I do have a coupe, so alot of what people are saying in regards to adding a rear strut tower bar, just isnt going to happen. As far as I know theres nothing much you can do strut bar wise for the rear of a coupe. So basically I should look into getting sway bars, poly bushing, and end links.

Thanks for all the response people, mucho appreciated smile.gif

You can install a rear strut bar if you cut up your interior. tongue.gif That being said the coupe is stiffer in the rear than the liftback for obvious reasons.

Never actaully seen/heard of anybody to that to theirs hahaha. But im not looking to gut the car, just squeeze what performance I can out of it.
