Oh and was going to ask.
I got Toyo Proxi T1R's on at the moment and the grip was awful!
I wanted to put some Michelin superSports on as they are the best tyre out at the moment but cant get them in my 16" wheels..
Any advice?

Have a read of the Forum Favourites for Tyre recommendations: https://www.s2ki.com/...brakes-tct-etc/
I have the Bridgestone RE002s which work very nicely on track.
Your driving is far from terrible. Nice hand position on the wheel and generally pretty smooth. Nice to see someone not trying to snap the gearlever off with every change too.

it looks like i do but when i try and push it starts breaking away and pushes on, understeer is bad :/
My brother took it out with me and wasnt very impressed, expected better, after looking at state of tyres after the day it was clear these are good enough for that kind of driving.

also pressure.
I just bought a small pressure gauge for this purpose. Even though the S oversteers quite often under torque (not that much wihtout applying torque to the wheels) first time I drove it spiritely I felt quite a lot of understeer.
I fully recommend get 225 instead of 215 on the front. Doesn´t make a big difference for normal driving. Then in track, you can play with the pressure of the tyres and balance the grip to oversteer or understeer more subject to personal preferences and driving style.

Learning to trail brake into the corners (as john's brother was trying to get him to do) is a very good idea, and having tried many different geometry settings, I can confirm you can get the balance of the car how you want it.
Having said that, for most of us, a bit of understeer is a good thing, especially when on the road, which is the majority of the time.
