Default Lift off over steer

Today on the way home i had it full throttle going round a corner in 3rd i had to over take a car at the same time so i took my foot off the loud button and found myself doing a slide lol just wanted to know how controllable is this? if i went faster and tried to hold the slide abit more how far can u push it before u cant get it back again? i tried searching but nothing came up.
Im riding on stock suspension but with front and rear strut braces. Noticed since i put the rear strut brace on the backend seems to slide abit more.

It is fully controllable. Just need to get some experience so you know when to get back into it and hold it for longer.

Definitely not one to experiment on the street though. IMHO wait until there is rain forecast and then go to either No limits or RAC. You can do the same thing in the wet or the dry but the dry just takes a lot more commitment.

i have plenty of commitment just scared of them curbs on the side of the road. Ill just have to convince her and get to a race day sometime to practice this, be mad if i knew how to do it.

Take her to one of the IWRXOC driver training days and share the car with her. Absolutely no pressure on her to go fast as there is not a stopwatch in sight. Instructors everywhere and masses of run off.

tell her you're better doing it at a track rather than the street. controlled environment & ambulances are there if anything happens.
RAC DTEC courses are skidpans/tuning arvos.
No limits is run at barbagello. plenty of info around just search.

There's so much more you can get out of your car on a track rather than risking your car, wallet and life on the street.

If this is the sort of thing you like to do then you will have a blast on a track.
We have enough statistics, please don't be another one of them.

Tim 'NVRENUF', posted a surveillance tape of what can happen when attempting this in the dry, so in the wet double the devastation.

Best on a track where its more controlled or as others have mentioned RAC/AHG track day so experts can help you increase your skill level.
