December in the cold & damp with about 260ft lb... Normal!
Even more so if you've an aggressive geo (and heavy right foot!)
Yup.... Also, its pretty cold tonight duncs.
What are your tyre pressures like? Are they over inflated?
Hmmm. Haven't checked the pressures
I'm pretty

Yikes! I'll be treating the right pedal like an eggshell.My backend stepped out when changing lanes the other week, 4th gear accelerating gently from 45 (50 limit dual carriageway). Just drive carefully. AD08's in a standard NA.
Yup - seems so. With a bit of luck I'll still make it to Leeds in one piece!Road surface temps will have been about 4C in most of the UK this aft (I suspect) and thought the Yokos were more of a summer tyre. Plus that is enough torque to break traction.

I'm very light on the loud pedal through 1st, 2nd and 3rd in this weather! Like you i had a "moment" when it was cold and have been a lot more careful since!

I know that feeling,my aggressive rear camber makes mine impossible to drive on a damp road!nearly went through a wall up in the Peak District last month!! A trip to MMG is on the cards in the very near future!!
Even more so if you've an aggressive geo

Possibly but I've had some squirming under part throttle once the boost comes on. It can be a bit 'all or nothing'
Makes me consider DG's Standalone upgrade...
You'll still have traction problems if the camber/tyre condition/weather conditions/everything else that matters isn't favourable despite having spent a fortune on a spangly PCM.

I'll take it out and see if its all doing as it should, if you want fella
How will that help? He wants the car to STOP going sideways!

To be clear, I'm happy with sideways but I'd like to have a bit more predictability over when it's going and *some* degree of modulation!
