well i was just coming home in my crx and it was raining and i took a corner going like 45, it was pretty sharp, and all of a sudden my front end litterally felt like it was on ice..i almost **** myself cause i relized i had minimum coverage with a brand new paint job and the whole works..almost parked that thing in a god damn tree ..it was like sprinkling with bairly any rain on the ground...i have my car lowered 2 1/2 inches and i just put the camber kit in last week along with an alignment..both front tires are tight and the toe is perfect, but what in hell would cause it to feel like its on ice...PLEASE help!!!!!

 

How are your tires? And what kiind are you running?

 

i have brand new 5zigen wheels with ventus tires..16" awesome tread i just dont understand this..could a loose tierod end do this..but if so woouldnt the toe be off?

 

A tie rod wouldn't be the cause.

But you might have just hit a slick piece of pavement. I had 16" falkens on one of my old cars and the exact same thing happened. Except I almost ended up in a ditch.

If you can't find anything mechanical this could have been the problem.

 

i dont think it was the pavement because i had to give a chick a ride home and it happened like 5 times all on different roads..now shes scared to go riding in my car lol..

 

maybe you cant drive? j/k all five times was the road wet? maybe you should check what conditions your tires are rated best for.

 

how long has it been since it rained where you are? in florida we call the pavement "black ice" when a rain storm starts. the rain brings all the oil and other debris to the surface and that causes your tires to slip. honestly don't **** with the rain, one second you think you have great traction then the next thing you know you're headed for a tree at 45mph.
btw, driving fast in the rain is a bigass no no any day... one word, HYDROPLANE (sp?).

Sounds like your car hydro planned across the road. Next time go slower when its wet out. I dont want to be the tree/other driver you run into.

You going too fast for conditions...duh. Slow down, drving my car in the rain is pointless to try and even go fast b/c all that happens is
just slow down a little and enjoy the...i dunno...this post is now sounding gay, but don't screw up your car for a few more mph's!

Under 2100 lbs, slick wet roads, execessive speed. Yep its all there, the formula for killing yourself in the rain with your CRX. Try to take it slower in the rain.

10mph? you've got to be kidding. thats like barely pulling off from a start in first gear. how could you lose control?

EDIT: i just saw in your first post you said you were taking a sharp turn going 45 mph on a mildly wet road... your problem there is that you were taking a sharp turn going 45mph on a wet road haha

 

Its because you drive like an idiot...

And you can loose control at 10mph, not really on a wet road - but ever drive in snow? I put an Infiniti I30t into a small ditch and I wasnt even going 10mph. The road was pitched just right and the car slid off the road. Nothing I could have done would have changed it...
