Rear end grip!!

[Colinevan]

If anyone can give some general advice i would be most grateful.

I run a zx5 indoors and have changed to mini pins (yellow), i run the car with the front diff and the one way fitted, basically the car steers agressively but is reasonably controllable with the steering turned down to compensate, the prob lies that if i have to do a chicane monouveure the back end will let go and result in a slide and lost time.

I changed the tyres to yellow mini spikes which improoved the stability and rear end, however it didnt quite turn in enough. I also found that the tyres are wearing out very fast.

I have tried to trim the mini pins down a little ( the inner and outside pins removed) and will re try this coming weekend.

However any advice is greatly appreciated.

PS - I notice that the yellow compound mini pins seems a different compund as opposed to the yellow mini spikes. The pins seem a lot more stiffer - esp the side wall. THey remind me of the old blue compounds that we used to use years ago. - ANy thoughts.
