Experimented with F=1.5-2.0 -ve and R=0-1.0 -ve and usually 0-1/16 toe-in R and 0-1/8 toe-out F.

Yeah, slight toe out in front does provide sharp turn-in. In myt setup with the AWS still intact, I can actually get progressive power induced oversteer as opposed to push/understeer. In a steady state corner, while adding throttle, the rear end will actually come out first so it can be used to adjust yaw angle. I prefer that to push, but I haven't quite managed to get it so that in a steady state turn, progressively adding throttle gets a completely neutral drift so I could control it solely with the steering. I'd like to be able to try that.

On a sidenote, with any toe out, the car gets skittish on straights and on the streets, it's a wandering fiend. Need a death grip on the wheel to keep the car straight.
