Default Nightmare outing with 210

Ran my 210 at Chadderton, it was a nightmare, rear end was very loose, on all corners it wanted to swop ends. Mid corners the car was drifting, it was like driving on polished floor ! Very 'slidey' and if I pushed it would break away.

What could cause this ? Tried many different setups, had brand new mini pins all round. Various people looked at the car but couldn't see anything obvious.

The 210's there were running very different setups, I as many others started on the kit setup but it was a nightmare.

Could the diff cause this ? I thought I'd sorted the diff with the new circlip, but I read a post on here re oils on the parts contaminating the diff ? It feels good and smooth ?

If the setup looks ok & tyres are new, what else could I look at, speedo was on minimum punch, even tried a new sensor lead (yes I was clutching at straws) !

This sounds very dissimilar to my experience... I thought the car was very well planted and safe to drive...

Guess you need to go through the hub, caster, toe inserts etc and basic setup to find out as a starter for ten..

Mine has been planted out of the box as many people will testify, sounds as though there may be something binding or something

Don't think I saw you're 210 going today then, the ones that I watched going round looked very very planted.

my 210 was great today at chadderton. I was doing my own thing with setup, but found it wasnt far from Damians anyway. Won the C with it. felt great, i could push when i needed to, Only issue i had was with my brakes being abit harsh at the bottom of the straight but i was controlling that with my thumb. Id be happy to pass over my setup if you want a look
