Re :spider bites



        Mike's description of spider bite is a dead-on narration of what my 5K does in a corner.  All suspension components are original and are in the process of being replaced.  If this cures said behavior, I will inform.
        The first time I pushed the car hard and it bit,  I was indeed scared and felt that I had lost control of the car.  I used to drive this car often when it was younger, and it was always very predictable and stable.   I am getting older and slower, but I put many miles on this car as a stupid teenager and it had never "bitten" me before.  I am inclined to think that the aging suspension is the culprit.
