Autocross 08 FIT SPORT

I autocrossed today with the oe all season tires.
suffered terrible understeer from a terribly designed course...i should work on left foot braking...
the course was a huge left turn that ended up w/ driving in 2 complete circles before finishing...
fit is quite underpowered, so launching had to be from at least 4k to get any good wheelspin
i'm also used to cars w/ no ABS, so i feel like the ABS is very intrusive on my driving.

anybody have recommended tire pressures?

i'm going to try to get the factory "crash bolts" to get some negative camber in the front before the next autocross. hopefully get some new tires too.

on the bright side, steering is really quick, so i entered many elements earlier than i was supposed to...

my autocross history includes a corolla(launching from 2k gives wheelspin, even with falken azenis), and a sts2 prepped crx(me driving in video) which doesn't understeer. coming from the crx, i was definitely over-enthusiastic for the first few runs and disappointed with the massive understeer, so i hope tires and crash bolts will fix that.
