the r let go this weekend

well i found out the acutal limit of this car this weekend with an almost near death experience
i was taking a curve at about 90. i thought it would stick as it always had at about 75ish or 80. well needless to
say it didnt and it was the scariest **** i ever encountered. the rear end kicked out on me and every time i
coutersteered to correct it it kicked out the other way /. well on my left side was a median and gaurd rail and on
the other gravel and an on ramp to thwe highway
well after it kicked out about 4-5 times in both directions it then totally spun out on me prob like 2-360's and then
spun in the gravel and stopped . i was so glad i didnt hit the gaurd rail in the back because the nos bottle was in
the back , with about 1/2 bottle worth of juice in it . my friend was cracking up laughin when it was over. he sid he
was suprised i didnt roll it . i now know the limits of the r and will respect its power. heheheheheehe, scary ****.

 

oh yea i forgot the tires were on the bald side when this happened. ooops!
damn it , i always forget my tires are shitty.

 

Did you learn your lesson? Save it for the track.

Next time it could be oncoming traffic and a cliff on each side.

maybe it was the driver's limit...

 

hhheeeeeee you said NOS.....

 

Must'v been the tires cause I take turns at 100-11- mph all the time. j/k

 

Bingo.. glad you said it, I'd just get called an ******* or bitch again.. not that I don't enjoy that.. but still

 

I did almost the same thing.....My car is in the shop, I didn't get as lucky as you.

 

dave, your not a bitch your a biatch. get it straight azzhole!!!!

 

that's why we autocross/track...

 

lol thanks for setting my straight on that Keith hehe

 

Which tires did you have on?

 

na it was the cars limit . trust me . i think on tires with more tread it would have stuck . ive done it many times before in other cars ive had. and they stuck fine . i just now know the limit of the car and learned to not push it any more.

 

You find the limit of the driver. When the car starts to oversteer, really good drivers catch it without tank slapping the car.

I found the limit of the driver off the track once. It costed me my Type R. Then I rebuilt it from salvage into a race car.

Keep it on the track.

thanks guys, i just posted this for everyone to see to be carful and i was not and learned my lesson

 

Good thing is you learn from your mistake........

 

Check your tire pressures.

 

You sure you didn't lift the gas pedal or tap the brakes?

That'll cause you to spin everytime......

 

You know how the song goes "...we don't need another hero!..."

 

That's strange, even at the track, no matter how hard I corner, the tail won't spin out, the whole car will slide, but not spinning out. UNLESS you slam on the brake. If you do that, say BYE BYE to your car. My car is stock BTW. I think is the limit of the drive

 

Man, you guys have got to stay safe. Too many precious ITRs being damaged/destroyed lately...

 

the car has shitty balded tires and the rear end is gutted. . . . . . ?
i dunno dude it got **** happy.

 

I hope that 1/4 is without NOS.

 

Well since his sig says "********13.81 @ 99.50 MPH ALL MOTOR********" I'm thinking that it's all motor.. and not on NOS.

 

Thanks Beotch. I just wanted to make sure.
