the 86 is not a magical car, you wouldn't really get any real benefit from 86 specific drivers
feel free to ask anyone for advice and hop into people's cars if they are willing to take you on
my only advice is:
1. if you're understeering, don't blame the car, simply brake earlier next time around
2. dont' bother chasing tenths through 1st gear downshifts, try to do clean runs in 2nd gear (unless you need to upshift to 3rd)
3. focus on memorizing the course, you will find that by simply completing a run cleanly and at a good pace you'll finish top 50% without even trying. I have been to events where people go off-course after 6 runs, or "forget" a turn or two and have to do evasive manuvers to get back in line, costing them many seconds.
