Like crazy, came off a sliproad at 50mph and steered right and it went straight on pretty much, i was wiggling the wheel left and right but it didnt bite at all. Just had the alignment done as follows:
kind of had to get out of there at the time so didnt really bother reading the set up, however is the toe not a little bit much ? 5/6 minutes ? it understeers like a lot atm, i knew it would a little however it wont corner at all atm so was just wondering if my tracking is a bit much?

You will get understeer, if you floor it at 50 in 2nd or 3rd in the wet. Try adjusting the throttle a little bit.
Also how much tread have you got on your tyres, what make are they? Might worth looking into a ATB diff.

that all looks ok tbh.
a fwd, high powered car is always going to understeer, more so in the wet.
take alook at your tyres and make etc make sure they are decent.

Doesn't help that your camber is way different side to side. And yes the toe is a little too much, had mine set to 2 minutes toe out and it was really good turn in

boots are brand new proxes PX4, adjusting the throttle wont do anything for understeer really?
Edges, cheers for that buddy, camber isnt that far out each side though really is it? Might call them up and tell them I need it brought back in and reduce the toe, seems a few other people on here use 2 minutes toeing in and its the way forward. Cheers

A little bit of toe out will help turn in, but too much will scrub tyres. Your camber has like half a degree difference to each side, it should be a bit closer than that.
as far as throttle goes, if you on power while cornering then let off, weight transfers onto the front axle and you get more grip, more turn in
