mabey your tyres are pants in the rain
or could be subframe bushes, rear stabiliser bushes, susp. mounts, trailing arms mounts, air pressure too high in the rear, overly cambered rear wheels (only giving u half a try of traction really) or summin else

how farst r u goin when it kiks out

[beemerboy]

it did it yesterday and i was onli goin about 20 but i put my foot down

[Simon13]

what springs u got? is it dropped, cars with stiff springs on the back snap. Plus u have an open diff, are u fishtailing down the road!!?!

[beemerboy]

i will check on the springs tomoz and let u no, i think it is lowred by the look at it, it has fishtailed once on me but nt that bad i controlled it easier

Tyres sound supect to me, a Ԛ£25 budget with full tread will have totally shit grip in the wet.

I can vouch for that, my SE came with Woosung spinmasters or something on it, the previous owner was quite proud of them as they had heaps of tread.

They scared the cr@p out of me so I put some decent rubber on.

Check the tyre pressures..
I bought a 320 for breaking a few years ago and on the wet journey home i had it full sideways at every junction, i thought i had a flat at first when i checked them and they had 55 & 60psi..

On the BBS's I've got one of these on the front and another comedy-named Chinese or tyre on the other side, understeer on every roundabout without fail.

Now the ones on the back that I paid a decent price for refuse to lose grip....I think some swapping of front and rear wheels is needed!
