Thanks! I think I've got it - will grab a picture of the solution in a bit

I like how the throttle plays a much bigger part in a rear heavy car.

Pictures to come.
Everyone walks away from their first autox blaming the car. The Twins kick ass at autox. No offense but drive is always to blame after your very first autox. My suggestion to most people just starting is to let an experienced driver do a run in your car. That will keep you from blaming the car so you can focus on driver mod.

As for not being grippy, OEM tires are a joke. I’m not sure what you are running on yours but a set of just about any performance tire will obliterate the OEM tires.

Edit: just realized this was a really old post. Hahaha

Oh yea no doubt I'm a terrible driver, I was actually talking about the "fun factor" though. Because an MR2 is so much more twitchy and dangerous, it's more fun to slide (and more dangerous). In fact, I crashed my 2nd MR2 at Laguna Seca because I'm so bad at driving XD

In either car, I would not be able to put up a good time, but I find the FRS less fun because the front end pushes, instead of inertial oversteer (which again, is dangerous, but that's kind of what makes it fun).
