damn the tires you wrecked on were bald with no grooves or anything

 

Good rule.

Some driving instruction can't hurt either.. Although whether or not driver capability was at fault here I don't know..

Too bad, car looked nice.

 

people need to learn how to drive before they pretend to be an f1 driver

 

Here is what the TSW Thruxtons look like on my FD. These are 19's on my car. Yes they do have a nice lip.

R.K.

 

Or someone else did

That's why I won't go to the track with my FD. Too many bad drivers.

 

link didnt work url not found.

 

Whats so nice about that FD ?
Its got ricer wing, too big rims, oem sideskrits and its too low. Its a friggin show car and doesnt belong to the track.

Dont let that put anyone off to track their car once in a while. Its a blast and you decide your pace. Just leave your ego home.

 

He just forgot to put a p on the end. Here is the working link. http://www.tsw.com/new/profile_thruxton.php

 

Usually the track I go to is pretty moderated. I have yet to see an accident cause by someone other than "the nut behind the wheel".

I have heard of some tracks that pretty much let anything go. However, in a car like the one in this thread, my money is on "the nut behind the wheel" for placing blame.

 

I applaud the guy for tracking it. Nothing worse than a "garage queen"

 

Tracking a car with 20" wheels? Bwahahahaha

 

I'm sure the guy that owns the car will really appreciate your applause as he looks at his (used to be) beautiful FD.

Lets think about this really hard, what's better:
1. A wrecked FD just off the track.
2. A nice FD in the garage.

Maybe I should start a poll

 

New age racing - 20" rims and no suspension travel. That'll do yea

 

Yea I agree. His first mistake was putting 20s on it. Then the wreck. Still I just hate show cars.

 

So do I. I daily drive mine and it gets beat on on the track several times a year. Unfortunately, it's going to be down for the next month for a rebuild/upgrade process and I haven't seen the track in 6 months..

 

Oops sorry about the link thanks for correcting me Compilez.

If you take another look at the photo of the car on the trailer and the photo of it undamaged, you'll notice that the wheels are not the same. I don't think anyone in there right mind would track a FD with 20"s on it.

 

a lot of assumptions here - maybe 'think more, post less' is a good rule of thumb....

 

Do you realize how boring the forum would be if we followed your advice

 

:P

remember we're talking to the worlds best internet drivers here

 

My condolences to that guy.

 

Yea ditto, what Cruiser said..

What so special about that FD???

Its lowered and has rims.
and from what I can tell, a intake and a FMIC.. ??

 

because it just goes to show that the stock lines of the FD can look incredible without tacking on an ugly body kit. you're right, it isn't "special" but it just looks damn good, and it's awesome that a 99% stock body can cause so many people to fall in love with it. quit your bitchin and appreciate it!

 

did you happen to miss the very first post in this thread? did you see the picture of the FD on the back of the truck? did you miss the fact that those are not the same wheels as the other pic?

 

Accidents happen to the best of us. As someone stated earlier don't track a car you can't afford to wreck. I've been tracking my FD for a few years now and consider myself a fairly good driver. However, at my last track day I did go off track and managed to put a couple very minor dents in the car (purely cosmetic - I got lucky).

My FD is a street / track vehicle. If may get wrecked someday. I'm willing accept that risk becaue tracking an FD in an incredibly satisfying experience.

 

I agree, I started a post in here a while back regarding stock lines and whether they were good enough. It was suprising to see the amount of FD owners that preferred stock lines to a dirty *** body kit ( think Veilside!!).

I dont mind bodykits but I think they need to subtle to work properly.
I would personally hate having my FD turn heads because of its body kit.
