One question though for you guys. Do you like the oneway in the front? It seems like you have to be very careful with the throttle release so it doesn't spin out. What are your opinions on oneway vs. spool?
basically a spool wil be pretty understeery on corner entry, but pull straight and hard when exiting
a 1way will give really good steering entring corner, and the same as a spool on the exit, and any time you are 'on power'

1ways are almost always the fastest, provided you can master drinving with them.

it shouldnt spin if you let off, it will almost always spin if you brake with a
1way thought, are you using drag brake? this may affect it, turn it off. maybe somthing in your drive train is binding causing it to be less free and want to slow down faster which off power will causing the rear alot of drag (effectivly drag brake) and help the car to be spinning.

check your not using any drag brake on your speedo or radio
then check your drive train, do it a section at a time, ie; the rear diff, with no belts connected, shim it properly and make sure it spins freely. do the same with the centre and front.
always shim and check freeness without belts, this way you can spot which area of the drivetrain is unfree easily, know each individual section shimmed nicely and the only thing which will put drag on it will be the belts when you put them on.
