Also, if you locked the brakes or if you had abnormally low or high tire pressure, it could cause understeer. What I'm thinking happens to me a lot in my SR5 because one tire leaks slowly... If you have too low tire pressure in your front tire/tires the sidewall could roll over, and seem to have no grip at all until it catches and your car suddenly changes direction without you changing steering input. Or if overinflation is the case, the tires contact patch might be reduced because it's sort of bulging out on the bottom, combine that with improper weight shift and is insta-understeer. But I'm probably wrong and it was just improper weight shifting by itself lol It's easy to mess that up. I slid into a ditch sideways the first time I messed up... luckily I didn't break anything on the car.

BTW, I don't know about not learning with clutch kicks, maybe I'm just insane but thats the technique I started learning with, in the rain actually, then went right into feint by the end of the week... spun out twice, lol. I only ever used the e-brake if I felt like I didn't feint properly and was going to understeer. Or for 180s, but that doesn't count lol But I guess learning that way is kinda dangerous lol
