Im with Southwell on this...yellow Schumachers are the only choice IMO.

How long since you last rebuilt your diff? And is your diff smooth as a smooth thing or as sandy as a sandy thing?

Post your setup here...we should be able to get you turning soon enough.

Yellow what? Minipins? Are you cutting off rows? I don't see how you can understeer on carpet with minipins, mine always steers like a mofo. Chuck up your full setup.

this is from memory cos im at work an dont have the car.

front

30wt silvers, standard piston
inside hole on the bottom, middle on the top. camber 1deg
1 washer under the front ballstud


rear

30wt silvers, standard pistons
outside bottom, middle top. camber 1deg
shaved flat on the rear ballstud
wheelbase short, 1deg anti squat.

10.5, standard spur, 23pinion
greens with inside and outside cut off front and rear.

and i always get confused over the whole pins and spikes thing, so ill just say there the nationals and regionals nominated tires

Try outside on F arm, outside on F hubs too and 30' castor blocks.

Inside on R arm, 2' rear camber

Has everyone missed that ?

You're running mini spikes mate, wrong tyre.

Difference between pins and spikes, spikes are cone shaped, pins aren't.

Not to mention mini pins have much smaller pins than the spikes on the mini spikes, and a lot more of them.
