The resident experts here helped me out with lift off oversteer, and I had to consciously think about NOT doing it for a while. Now it's second nature. It's neat to see the brake before and quick shot of gas in the corners come naturally. One word of caution-it is incredibly easy to OVER correct the car when you have committed throttle oversteer. Suddenly you are correcting an even bigger problem. Takes practice, but the ELise is a fun car to practice in...

On thumbs, mine wrap around the wheels just above what I like to describe as my pre-molded palm pressure spots. Make sure you remove the 7.5 amp fuse (#10 I think) before autoxing to avoid honking the horn all over the course.
