Carpet is not my strongest surface, but some of your questions I may have a little feedback on. Usually, cars that pull one way or the other out of corners have a couple of things going on. You might try playing with the amount of toe out. Usually you need to add some. Usually the symptoms you describe are brought on by too stiff a front end and/or tweak. Try setting your ride height than adjusting for tweak. All Minis are tweaked, some worse than others. And yes, whack something hard and you might have to recheck it.

I'm pressed for time right now, but will post the procedure on tweak later, if anyone wants it.
hey grandpa thanks

the car is a swb but will move to mwb for the race i think as my home track is tight and technical but the ther track where the race is is bigger open and flowing , and of coarse it is carpet ;-) at the moment here in NL there is snow on the ground outside so indoors at the moment

did look towards tweek , altered the shock preload and this helped emensly but i am interested in your Detweeking procedure
