slightest oversteer and the blue lights come on.

Eh?

I must be doing it wrong, cos I can get quite sideways in a controlled manner without any issues - I've no idea why your high-beam indicator is coming on during lift-off oversteer - you probably have some electrics that need sorting out.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Wet leaves, crap tyres on the back.  That's what I found to be 'helpful' when I very nearly killed myself a while ago (I thought I remembered this little lane as being quite straight, only to find someone had plonked a very vicious bend in it)

Before I put Toyo T1-Rs on the thing lift-off oversteer was what I tended to get if I wasn't careful, but that once was bloody frightening!  By the time I realised I was going too quick it was far too late to brake, but with a bit of instinct and probably a HUGE amount of luck I managed to control it and merely go sideways without meeting a tree (of which there were many).   After the Toyos, I never went sideways ever again (though I only drove it around with them on for a couple of months or so, I've just sold it  :sad:)

Well, at least if you want oversteer, you'll go sideways or backwards into a tree, so someone will be able to get a good condition VR6 engine from your wreck :wink:

It is stupid to deliberately set up a car's suspension to be able to induce oversteer!
On an autotest car maybe but a road car NO!
It is also entirely irresponsible to try to do this on the road endangering others!

Smooth, measured driving will get you through a corner faster than throwing the tail out!

no silly!!
My point is, if your caught doing any stunts, no matter how good you are. police will classify it as dangeroous driving and they will give you some points to go along with it.
