my story today!!

[nickflic3]

Wasn't raining or anything but I had just put in my Dinan chip and went around the block for a spin. Came to a light turning left and the street I was turning on to had a cement rain gutter/dip. Had fun with our FWD Camry on these so thought what the heck, I'll try breaking loose. There was a little stream of water in it but I disregarded it. Took off in first, waited till the back tires hit perfectly, and gassed it. The wheels damn sure broke loose and stayed that way for about 20 feet. I kept it straight but I failed to see the 5 or so various joggers in the area, one couple being our now-new neighbors. Said eff it and broke loose at the next stop sign :P

ok today in the morning it was raining and i was going to work, getting on the freeway ramp. which i stop at the red light and about to enter the ramp turning left. as soon as green light was on, i push in first gear to 3k rpm turning left and then switch to 2nd(2k rpm) as soon as i switch to second my car slide and did a 360 in the middle of the ramp luckly the women behind me was like far away from me...i got scared for like 5 second and then i turn back on the road and got on the freeway going 50mph on the freeway(slower than trucks..lol)...btw i have a 4.10 lsd..have this ever happen to you?

Yes. I have run out of talent at a very low speed in the past....When I was 10.

Doing as you did in front of the wimminz is a major fail.:razz:

just go out to a industrial area at night when its raining and practice scenarios of your car sliding. It happens a lot with me to, but Im used to it. Put my spare tire back in the trunk to have more weight in the rear. Just baby the shifts if you dont want to spin. I have tires with 90% thread, and i baby my turns nice and easy.
But still its not so bad in the E30, its easy to regain control. Now my Jag is a whole different story.

R3v is home to the worlds best drivers it seems, seriously rain is a challenge for some?

[trackjunkie21]

no its like a 180 degree turn...

So you spun out driving in a straight line?
I never spun out before, I've been sideways but always reacted quick enough to get it under control. My tires don't help either.

180 degrees, is a half circle....
ive spun out before a stop light onto a freeay before, fishtailed but got straightened out. it was the first rain id seen with this car.

I spun out in a u-turn and did a 270* spin, regained my composure, and drove away. This was in pouring rain btw.

there does seem to be a great deal of tallent here.

I would suggest "not" flooring it and dropping/popping/kicking, the clutch in the rain(especially during a turn) on a public roadway if you are not smart enough to figure out what might happen next....

fi-siks p'wns meh...

Did VTEC kick in?

[imdashiz]

bro, cool story?

[CabbE30]

Ive done a 180 once when I had my balding tires on a rainy day getting on the freeway, good thing there were no cars in my line or anywhere nearby. Super scary.

[ak-]

I have never 180'd my car on accident in the rain, even when intentionally messing around. I don't get how all of you are doing this involuntarily?

[ak-]

Okay, I take that back. Pretty scary incident today Lol.
