Go to an autocross and learn how to handle the car a bit better.

He got a 2006 so he's got traction control now. A good investment, IMO, that should help him. Autocross or performance driving school will also be helpful.

What does it mean to "high side" on an on ramp?

I'm desperately trying to find a F&F or Initial D quote to respond to this, but I'm failing.

Unless he's a teenager. No fix for that except time and brain development.
