Well at least you're okay right that's the important thing he......NO WAIT what the hell did you do to the car!!! I think you should feel the pain of the 7 and be thrown off a cliff....okay no seriously what happened??? I think I see where you were drifting from, but what went wrong (be honest .

no, i don`t have installed RB toe eliminators yet, but will put them in tomorrow hopefully

yes, it was luck i had no my 17's on....

yes, i`m not used to power of 13BT yet, drove 20 000 miles with 13B in it....

i pushed it more than i should have and simply lost control....

where can i get that. This saturday I had a run in with a redneck with a knife threatening me on a country road. Needless to say i got the hell out of there. But when i floored it i lost traction and was trying despratly to regain control of the car. I ended up hitting the dirt and doing 180, afterwards i just hauled *** as far away as i could. one of the problems was the moment i got control of the spin it would wip right back around and so i just kept praying i would level out and not hit anything. Right now im getting my car checked out at the shop because im not sure what happened (everything is kind of a blur...stupid adrenaline) so i don't kow if killed something in the car. However I noticed as i was flying through the country trying to get away that my steering felt a lot looser. It was very easy to turn the car, like the power steering had been turned off and was suddenly turned on.

Oh yeah sorry about the wreck, that could have been me. There was a 15 foot ravine about 1ft from where i hit the dirt and spun around. oh yeah I HATE DRUNK REDNECKS!!! IF YOU ARE ON THIS FORUM I WILL PERSONALLY KICK YOUR *** GOT ME!!!! goddamn honda accord

If you are used to how the car acts without the eliminators you won't have that problem. It looks like he overcorrected too much and went towards the curb.

Nice job! i bet you looked like an ace!
Find a car club or start one in your area. Rent a parking lot then have fun. I do parking lot autocrosses and big tracks. we have a nice skid pad at the autocross that you can release those built up drifing desires on. I suggest you do the same.

WHAT? thats not drifting thats what you call wrecking. Drifting if properly exicuted can be great fun. Wrecking is well........... WRECKING and it always sucks. And the red sun roof is the least of your problems.

****... that is how i screwed up my TII meshie... it starting raining and i was tired and i wasn't paying attensino and i just kept on giving more gas in 2nd until turbo lag hit... car lost traction in back... my front went towards median... my driver side rim clipped the median curb as i recovered... needless i'm not happy... didn't end up like higgi there though...

but now i've learned my lesson...

anyone have a TII mesh wheel they don't want?

TII's are so much better at drifting than N/A's!





Oh wait... no they're not.

friend of mine did that...for some reason he floored it coming around a left turn in light rain, in an LS400 for crying out loud. ground was wet, back swung out, over corrected, tires grabbed, and he shot himself into the right side where a big *** trailer was parked and took out the front of his car. the trailer escaped almost unscathed..big-*** welded steel tank :P

oh yeah and i was in the passenger side front, that sure was some kind of an adrenaline rush.

Haha I didn't even make it around the corner when I ditched my 7, but I did happen to get it on video tape... friend of mine was taping the entire thing, I have it on my box but I have no where to host it... it's pretty dark too, so you can't see much, I wish I would have had some sort of filter to correct it.
When I was looking through your "Fixing" galleries I was thinking "oh my god what great toys!" What all did you get, and how much did it put you down?

Wow, from those pictures you're apparently a great driver!

I don't have a problem with people having a little fun on public roads, but it looks like theres a fair amount of traffic in the background. If I was sitting at that intersection n my FC amd you f0cked up and hit my car, you'd bleed.

Have fun, keep it safe!
