Hi there

P4 is the top alfa 33 4x4 1.7 16v

understeer is when you turn into a bend and the front doesnt gripp as much as you want it to. overster is when the front gripps to much and sends the back of the car out sideways.when you get it right you look like a hero.but when you get it wrong you have a big repair bill. Wink

Skirts are the bits of body that go down the side of the car under the doors to aid air flow and looks of the car.

hope this makes some sense

regards john

In racing parlance
Oversteer is where you spin off the corner back first!
Understeer is where you spin off the corner front first!
