...well had an exciting/educational weekend.

Saturday
Decided to take a trip up our local curvy road last night before the Malaysian GP (GO MCLAREN!) I've had the ITR for about two months now and I'm starting to feel pretty confident in it but I learned my lesson last night. Going through a long sweeping 180 degree turn a little too fast and slip there goes the rear end Car ends up spinning completely around and I'm heading backwards for a guard rail, managed to stop before hitting but wow it was scary. Well just thought I'd share my near miss story. I think I've learned my lesson, must respect the car and stay below the speed limit

Sunday
Ferrell and I cruised around and took a few pics, enjoy guys

 

Should of made it a poll. How many people have spun their ITR 180 degrees

does it have to be an ITR.. how bout just a good ole integra LS

 

Regardless of model, I can see that thread loaded with hundreds of funny storoies and lessons learned

 

Looks like it's time to get you on the track! hehe

Your R looks good.


Good thing you didnt learn the hard way.

 

i spun like a 540 in the R before. going 40 or so i decided to pulled the e-brake and turn the wheel

salt planes ownz . but some how dust managed to get in with the windows up. hah

 

 

I did that once in my Prelude... freaked the hell out of me after almost smacking a tree. Taught me a huge lesson.

 

It's good to hear that other people have made the same mistakes. I still can't get over how easily this car oversteers

 

Both cars look very nice
and don't go too fast

 

how about a 99 si ?

 

Wet on ramp at 2:00 AM 0wn'd me. No damage, just spun a little more than 90 degrees and seriously freaked myself out. Funny thing is, I automatically reacted with "in a spin, both feet in" and turning into the spin when it became obvious that I wasn't going to recover it. And that was long before I'd ever heard the phrase. Too bad I'd never heard "don't lift".

 

lol, I did about the exact same thing a few days after I got the R on an onramp.

BTW, those UKDM R wheels are fantastic looking on a PY car. They're 15x6, correct? How much does a set usually run?

 

Nice yellows.. Too bad they don`t exist in Europe

Last year in November I put on the winter tires and they sucked in the first curve on wet road... The rear broke loose violently and for a second or so I totally lost control over the car... But the road was wide enough so nothing happened.

Try a big parking lot for testing out 180° limits... On track it`s even dangerous because you could hit another racing car or a wall

 

its a good thing I didnt follow you up there Chris.

2 crashed caRRRs would be bad

 

wow, it seems like everytime i see a yellow type R
i see its clone right now to it.
hahaha

be careful on the streets...

its nice

 

The UKDM wheels are made by Enkei, 15x6 and only 13lbs. I'm not sure how much people are asking for them, might send Cheeseman a message, they came w/ the car when I purchased it from him.

If your looking for a set anything is for sale for the right price hehehe

 

Very nice ITRs, I like the JDM wheels, do you think they would you car would have held with the smaller wheels?

 

Actually these are UKDM wheels, only 15" not 16".

 

Nice euro 15" Enkei rims

 

No invite eh......hehe, well I guess I'm a gonna cancel the Expo, me, Tina, and Taga are gonna stay home.......

P.S. I am glad you didn't hurt the Rail. You wouldv'e been owned like a 12 hr. R owner I know from around here.......

I never thought the 180 spin would get me, but it eventually did. luckily, no damage done

 

Ahh, the egg yolks in full effect!
