I bot a fresh Griffith 500 full modified but when a turn always slips a little bit so if someone can help me with this one... :D
 
Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you like to drive) it is an integral part of the way a TVR handles for it to exhibit some slide at the rear on cornering. The trick is to be able to use power oversteer to your advantage i.e. line the car up for the exit of the corner. They have to be driven carefully but by smooth application of braking, acceleration and steering inputs the TVR's really fly!

The settings I use on my Griffith 500 are as follows:

Springs: 11.6/9.4 kg/mm
Ride Height: 100/100 mm
Damper Bound: 5/5
Damper Rebound: 7/7
Camber: 2/1
Toe: -0.5/+1.0
Stabilisers: 3/5
LSD Initial: 10
LSD Acceleration: 55
LSD Deceleration: 15
1st Gear: 3.600
2nd Gear: 2.470
3rd Gear: 1.824
4th Gear: 1.410
5th Gear: 1.142
6th Gear: 0.969
Final: 3.310
Auto: 28
ASM: 0
TCS: 7

Now bear in mind these are for the PAL version in the UK so how these'll compare to what you'll need for the version you've got in Canada I can't say. Oh and use Super Hard tyres on the front but Medium Hards on the rear. You'll have to pit once in a 15 lap race but the control of the tail is much improved (as is acceleration).

Hope this helps
