hey you guys, i was always wondering.. if the rear wheels are mis-aligned, could that also result in a kicking out of the rear while redlining>shifting
Yes. But that would be something you check after you check your tire pressures.

i find that when you let off the gas the car tends to slide out more

and it always seems to slide to the pass side
with exact tire press. +/- 1 psi
Check your alignment.


Sounds like you might have a bit of toe-out in the right rear. Although, some amount of lift-throttle oversteer is to be expected.

I have been to driving school at mid-ohio drove both the S2000 and the TSX through autocross and then the TSX on the track, I know how to drive thanks..I was just wondering if there was any problems that associated the kick to the right side when shifting at or before redline..

Wet road, uneven tire pressures, out of alignment

I dunno, but I think he might want to try checking his tire pressures.
