I see lots of under steer and dialing it back to save the front tires.

I don't think there was any opposite lock applied...the whole way around.

More front tire is going to be very helpful. Maybe a stiffer rear ARB.

Got to get that thing to rotate instead of push.
Yea I think these two comments go hand in hand. There shouldn't be a reason that the 135i should be inherently any less fun to toss around than a 1M. Persistent understeer however will do that.

I echo the rear bar comment. For some reason that seems to be a mod few try around here. Another option is to re-adjust the sprint rates. Most of the kits are a bit to heavily sprung in the front versus rear. OP what are your current spring rates?

It's always weird to me that people think its surprising that a 135i with a few mods can perform the same or better than a 1M. Would it surprise people if a modified naturally aspirated FWD civic does so too??
