Exclamation I put my rx7 in a tree yesterday

You read correctly, the black mobile is no more, and no tony i wasnt trying to drift. I was coming up to a decent speed turn that ive taken plenty of time. As i was coming up to the turn a pick up pulls out in front of me, i just switch lanes, but i missed where i normally apex, got crazy understeer, suprise suprise understeer in an fc, and hit the brake, weight transfered to the frnt and sure enough the rear end came around, i slid for a good 15-20 feet before i found my passenger door in a tree. Im not blaming this on anyone but myself, my stupid drivng in the wrong place got me t this point. Anyway im doing fine, the car is not, im keeping the t2 motor and tranny and selling everything else, its parts car now. Ive already got a new shell lined up and im gonna tryto et it today before its sold. And its not an rx7 shell, but motor is going in it . Anyway my number 4074210746 if you need to reach me cenfla or for parts. Thanks for your time.

Just pull the bitch off. I had to replace mine about 2 months after i got my FD. If you are loosing any type of fluid through the clutch then it is probably your slave.
