Call your insurance.

 

bring it to a bodyshop

 

Why is everyone crashing their ITR's?

 

Because they're braking in a corner instead of B4 it.

 

...oh no. NOT another.

 

I think most people know that you should not brake in the middle of a corner

 

Welcome to the club.

 

There is a way to brake through a corner. It's called trail braking, I know a guy with like 40 years of racing and uses that technique. Nothin is wrong with it, you just have to know how.

 

How many Type Rs do you guys think there are that are still in good condition, they havent been stolen, wrecked, or blown??

 

2 or 3

 

JDM front end for u soon dood !!

 

i need ... someeon to seel mee that front e3nd

 

how old are ya? 15/16?

sorry sorry, had too

sad to hear, good luck

 

My guess of the % of wrecked/stolen/etc per year goes...

'97 - 75%
'98 - 40%

'00 to '01 - only 15% or so

 

What about 99 R's?

 

oh yeah. I forgot about you Canadiens. Sorry.

I don't have any idea how the theft/vandalism is up there in Canada. Is it similar?? I thought it was a US epidemic.

 

He is 17 I believe. All these accidents are happening to younger drivers. Mine was due to a bad decision about rotating tires - chalk that one up to inexperience. These have all been one-car accidents. The guys posting about these crashes since Thanksgiving have been 17, 18, 19, 20 (me). Coincidence?

Sorry to hear about the car man. Like Chris said, join the club.

Yeah, unfortunately the R is such a good car that everyone and their uncle thinks that they are Schumacher once they're behind the wheel. Do everyone a favour and leave the trick driving on the track. Not really directed at anyone

 

braking in a corner is fine! I do it all the time... its caled trail braking (as mentioned). REALLY helps you keep the nose down / keep weight in the front of the car.. you basically do normal braking but take the turn a little faster. Then, as you approach the apex let of the brake more and more.. finally when you hit the apex completely let off hte brake and start feeding the gas pedal. Trust me you can turn a LOT faster.

 

Anybody here 21??

 

BD is, the dude who got spun around by the Civic.

 

Id say 9 times out of 10 when people crash their Rs is because they instinctively slammed the brakes when they felt themselves sliding. It takes a long time to stop yourself from having this reflex. Oh, and i dont think your ITR crashed all by itself, YOU crashed it. SOrry for your loss, but maybe try and get some track time or a drivers school so you know how to handle your car at the limit. Driver training is the #1 thing you can do to improve your cars performance and safety. Just my $.02.
