It was bad, from what I understand, he was testing his car, and when he hit 3rd, he lost control and went to 2 light posts....here's a video of the car:

Nick passed away saturday night, I was there when everything happened. I'm still in shock and feel like it's a dream, I'm gonna wake up and nick will be there. My car would not be what it is if it wasn't for nick. He was a great friend, always helping me with whatever I needed. So talented, he put ct on the map. He died doing what he loved doing, in the car he loved. My import tuner feature will be dedicated to u bro!!! I will always love u and you'll always be in my heart!

I think it's worth mentioning to anyone here to let this giant loss serve as a warning that anything can happen on the streets. I know I am definitely guilty of experimenting on the roads with setups for many many years and am definitely lucky to not have anything go wrong.

The main issue with Nick's car was the 1800 pound rear springs and skinnies in the back. He lost control because of a dip in the road that put the rear end slightly to the side, cocking him over toward the sidewalk. Again... something that you or I probably wouldn't consider until you need something like this happen. Very sad to see such a young talented kid go.

RIP

Luis.

Well said Louis

RIP Nick
Didnt know you but you were and are an inspiration to my H2B all motor build. Wish I couldve met you and sparked an L and talked about hondas. In a state where most hondas especially all motor are something to laugh at him and his crew were definetly putting CT on the map and its sad to see someone with that much skill and potential go.

jdmchop sorry for your loss man I cant imagine how that feels. Goodluck to you and the rest of the 13203 crew.

Here's a download link for Nick's song that was written in his memory.

Share it with everyone, make it huge

That sucks.
So moral of the story is, dont drive 120mph, pulling out the top of 4th gear, down a side street with a light car with drag springs, skinnies on the back, bald front tires, and no roll cage installed yet. Do it at the track. Gotcha.

*** off bro

I wish i knew you in person so i can bust your jaw. Have some respect. You cant say youve never expernimented on the street before.

I agree with the being careful thing and about the setup on the car but bro it could have happened doing 50 mph.

He was taking the car to the track the very next day.


Just watch your mouth and dont speak like an *******.

Nick had more talent in his sleep than 98% of the builders on this site.

Have some respect.

My condolences - I spoke to him a few times about misc. things...he seemed to be VERY good at what he did. I am sorry for everyone affected by this loss.

You want to punch me in the jaw for learning from a stupid mistake? This subject has been crucified on a few forums I'm on, and I have talked to his mother in the process. To make a long story short, as I said, that sucks, stupid kills.

I have seen it time and time again, since the early 90's when I started out, and being my age, with my experience, all I can say is his friends and family are paying more than anyone else, but no one can argue the fact, that others NEED to learn from this mistake to prevent it from happening again. Hence my post.

Any more personal threats or issues can go to pm. I am in Northern Virginia, and love meeting new people, but if you live anywhere near this area, you already know who I am. If you want to be mad and threaten someone, join the dozens of other forums where this kid is being crucified, that will keep you busy. I'm not here to do that.

My condolances to friends and family.....

It was just the way you came off to be an *******.

Ohh dont do 120 on bald tires ..

Dont be stupid on the street.


Yes we all learned from this but i havent been to the streets in over 2 years and none of the guys at 13203 are street racers. They take the cars to the track.

He was just testing a car on a road he has tested hundreds of other cars on.

He lost his life testing a car out .. Not street racing or acting like an idiot. He was trying something out on his car on a street he has driven many cars on..

Im not here to threaten you but for real man, think of how youre saying things before you jump into something and **** people off.

And can you please pm links to people "crucifying" the situation.
