So when do you plan on fixing the nut behind the wheel?

When the roads are wet, you need to slow down and go easy on the throttle in the corners. This is a lesson you should have learned LONG before buying a sportscar.

Link doesn't work.

I don't want to be too harsh on you man, but cars don't just suddenly go sideways. Take a look at your rear tires, how much tread is left on them? Also, how old are they? That may be your culprit.

Good luck getting the car back on the road .

You registered in January, and you wrecked it in June. Not even 6 months. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a "I wrecked my BRS Autodesign Widebody FD!" thread in a few more months... Like Scotty said, fix the nut behind the wheel first...

Oh and Rich, my money isn't on poor tread; it's on him boosting when it's wet.

that is a hot body kit, good luck on your build. Atleast now you will have wider tires to grip the road better!

The guy's having trouble controlling his 13B-REW. You think he'll SURVIVE (let alone the car) with a 20B in there???

He won't have a running 20B setup for at least a year, maybe longer. plus, it will take time to save up the 20 grand minimum required.

also, monster: t04r is way too small for a 20b.

I don't think so. He came in here saying he wrecked his car in the rain and didn't know how it happened. Then he went on to add that he was getting a very nice widebody kit and putting a 20B engine with a SMALL turbo, which makes absolutely noooo sense. I personally think he deserves all the flaming he can get .

ouch...lol

damn...havent been back to this post in a while...well let me re-hash this for you guys....35 mph...stuck behind a infinity 4 door....tires probably have bout 10000 miles left on them....never had a problem before....when i wrecked my foot never went past 1/4 throttle.....tires are my culprit....and the to4r is the single setup i have at the moment and the 20b was going to be a ways away....right now the body kit isnt going to be on till after oct. ....the 20b subframe i have sitting here waiting for the motor...the 20b is a stock motor at the moment with the stock twins still on it...the car isnt being set up for anything but autocross and time attack so i might not even take off the twins but upgrade fuel, ports, and ignition....sorry for asking for a flaming since i didnt post much info on the buildup....lol
im going to have to figure out how to host the pics of the wreck....tears up
