People do things based on their religion because they fear the consequences - that they'll go to hell, be reincarnated as a flea, not be a "real" <whatever>.

So why aren't I allowed to drive as fast as I like on public roads because I fear that giant squirrels will catch up with me and eat me?

I recently participated in a sideways fiasco with TheKen on an industrial estate. We sped around a carpark going sideways (as you do), me in my Celica GT4 and TheKen in his super sideways 200sx. Oh what a thrill! I'd like to do this on public roads, but for fear of a dirty fat, maccy dee's eatting rozzer flying up my arse and taking away my license and indeed my very means of existance, I dare not. Although there have been the odd occasion when I thought, fuck it, but only in times of temporary insanity :D

No doubt you have the ST205 - mine's the ST185 RC, jap special edition tuned for high octane fuel... 230BHP of pleasure, stock :D

I've been sideways in my 1986 Mini twice... Once on purpose!

FWD cars that oversteer predictably are a great deal of fun. I've never driven a (real) Mini, but I've seen plenty of them thrown around.

My last car I put huuuge tyres on the back of, which meant it would corner as if it was on rails - and if it went, all the wheels went out together and very easily controlled. That had front & rear strut braces, a front lower control arm brace and a rear anti-roll bar. Before the rear ARB it would understeer a bit.

The GT-Four came with front & rear strut braces (the front being uprated from stock) and the front lower control arm brace, but it understeers in tight corners. I do wonder if I could cure that with another rear ARB, or whether I should tinker with the camber plates up front... or maybe both :D
