what can you recommend to counter the understeer as it is in this case? tire pressures? I'm such a noob.....
Best you can do stock is tire pressures (more in back, less in front) and maybe punch out those guide pins holding the strut in front. That'll give you another 1/2 degree or so.

Be careful with too little pressure in front, you don't want to scrub off the tire logo - been there, done that.

Driving an understeering pig is quite a learning experience. I know you're a noob, but read up on trail braking, you can get the car to rotate nicely using it. Corner exit, with all that understeer, will simply be an exercise in patience...before you can get on gas.
