whats the car for? road/track/drag etc.?
try a full alignment/Geo setup and if that is not good enough, try fitting an LSD.
car is for road/track
I'd fit some decent tyres and learn howto drive it before throwing stacks of cash at it in terms of a diff etc.
Wide wheels do not necessarily mean better handling.

Wider wheels being confused with wider tyres perhaps.
6" or 6.5" width on 15's are the optimum amongst the track day core on here. Use 195/45 or 50 profile tyres. If you are running low & have bad negative camber, the grip will feel poor, resulting in extra understeer.
yes Mr Green, this is why i suggested an alignment before. but my comments were scared. there is a meaning there but only a small one. perhaps there is a need to do all the things suggested. but maybe not.Originally Posted by craig green
a diff is not that expensive and Mr Jack is correct!! the same can be said for 'low cars handle best' it is not often the case if thoughts have not been cast to the alignment and geometry of the wheelies.
basicly ive drove a xe nova before with my comp mos (15" 6j 195/50/15) handling was ok as far as a nova goes, tourqe steer was bad but thats what u get with such power. The problem i had was getting the power down on the road. Dose nothing but spin in 1st 2nd and 3rd.
Is this just expected?
what tyres did the car have??
