Hi guys...I can't believe I'm writing this right now...but it true. I totaled my FD 30 minutes ago. The only car I ever loved is now dead! The car that I invested so much time, care and money is now sitting somewhere tottaly fucked up because I was an idiot. I guess I never deserved a car like the this. I can only pray to God that I didn't kill my friend or somebody else. Hopefully you guys can learn from my mistake and not **** up like me.

I was driving through a corner and and the rear went out of control and I just slammed into a rail...the hit ripped my front wheel right off. Now the whole right side is messed up, even my door can't open.

I'm 22 years old and I thought I was mature enough to own I car like this, I guess I was wrong. To all you young people out there please be smart and and learn from my mistake...

 

Bummer.

Wanna sell what's left?

 

So how fast were you going in the corner for the car to slide out?

 

Right now I just want to leave it alone until I figure out what i'm doing...

 

can we see pics. Damn i feel the pain its hard losing a mans ture love.....his car

 

I was going around 65-70 mph

 

I'll get pics tomorrow...

 

There goes another.

 

Wow...a lot of FDs have been biting the dust lately - anyone else notice that?

 

Yeah..The problem is Idiots like me underestimating the car

 

sorry to hear that...the important thing is that you are okay...hopefully your friend is too...

 

underestimating the car??? fark....you were doing 65 on a corner!!! That's a recipe for disaster!

 

Sorry to hear about the loss......

The vultures could stop harassing the poor guy tho...............

 

very sorry to hear this, i can understand your pain. Good luck finding a new baby i hope everything works out

 

He really means overestimating the car and his ability to control it.

Don't worry, get another one and do some auto-x events or learn car control in big open industrial parking lots. These cars can be a handful compared to some other N/A cars. You have to know when the boost is about to come on strong....and know in cool weather that the boost will come in much harder.

I have had my tail step out under boost @ 85mph in a corner and was fine. Hold the wheel lightly and let it do the talking until you have the car set again.... AND STAY IN THE THROTTLE!!

 

In a couple of months I'm probabbly going to buy a new frame and just start slowly putting the pieces together...

 

Damn Matt, sorry to hear about that. Hope you weren't hurt, if you need some help let me know.

 

sorry to hear that man.

 

Bummer, I hope it turns out okay, I guess its a hard lesson to learn, I just hope that myself and others like me learn from your example. Good luck to your friend, I hope he is allright. Josh

 

i had an accident before while i was driving to fast at the corner; and i damage the lower are on the left side by hitting the big cure. Then i tow my car back to garage and fix it up. If you need help on sth, let us know....

look at him, already trying to line up another project after the CYM. im sorry about the accident. DONT PART IT OUT, take you time and slowly put it back together. theres only so many of these cars out there and we need to keep them on the road. **** the love of my life(my FD) got wrecked, but it actually wasnt my fault, it was hit by a drunk driver, and im slowly but surely getting it back together and eventually it will be back on the road. it all depends on how much you love the car and if its worth it. if i was you id fix it. yea its gonna take some time and money but it will be worth it!! good luck and i hope you make the right decision!

 

Damn, sorry to hear for your loss. Did this happen in the states or in Croatia ?

 

That must be the most ignorant sentence I read in last couple of weeks.
There are 30mph corners and there are 150mph corners. And you dont know what kind of corner that was, so how can you say doing 65 in a corner is a recipe for disaster ?

 

Such things are quite common if you go to the race track and go fast. Sometimes you step over the limit and tail steps out and racetrack is the best place to learn how to control such situations. I think having a high-performance driving school and exam obligatory prior to driving such a car would be good for community

 

there's a difference between a bend and a corner. A corner most likely implies there is a significant angle in the turn, and at 115km/h that would most likely require a drift...and on public roads, drifting is asking for trouble. whatever.

Hope you get her back on the raod again
