Rear toe arms, like from SLP. Will keep the tail from wagging on hard acceleration and is better for handling. Get new bolts for arm to hub and put orange loctite on them. Torque to spec.

It would be unusual to be that cold. We are having a mild winter so far. Probably lows in the 30s highs in the 50s/60s. Still you'll need to give it at least a couple of laps to...

There is a rev limiter. Might be the way you are sitting, position of the seat, hand positions on the wheel, that are causing you to pull to the left.
