And the bumper trim goes kaboom!

[Erick]

This is what happens when a tire shreds to piece, while creating a rubber string, slapping against everything on my 1/4 panel. It stripped paint off my damn C pillar!!

It was the vert's first tandem, so I went easy and kept my distance. :)

BTW, the bumper trim just landed on the floor, my door trim I think was what got shot 10ft in the air

Tire blowouts are serious business, ever been near a semi when one lets go...

Cool video!

God how many times are you going to drift that same corner??? :razz:

[Erick]

lol, its the only local track and cheap to rent. It's actually pretty fun. You have room to play around and practice new things.

Im not necessarily a big fan of the drift scene. But that looked pretty fuckin fun. Thats not a stock motor is it?

[eyagel]

nice erick. haha

[E-rich]

haha thats one thing i have yet to do..shred a tire..cool vid man. you decide on a paint scheme yet?

[Erick]

Yup... need to afford the paint, but the good news I found a local shop to sponsor the labor :)

Just picked up a new front bumper this weekend too :D

word..stock bumper or something different? my body work is done. im deciding between paint or rear vynil wrap..i can get the wrap material for about $300 through a buddy that owns a graphic shop...gonna be interesting! btw..next time you see a r32 gtr skyline..look at the factory wing(if still equiped) and think e30.....:p;-)

[Erick]

My boy has an R32 wing on his hatchback. Makes Type X wings look silly. Funny, with my Zender rear wing, I think both our cars will be very similar from the back haha.



Tight work though.

The bumper is stock. I like the OEM stuff. No need in changing it around. My 50+ zip-tie Rieger lip is still holding up just fine. :)

Nope, no pictures, I took care of most of it. The paint got really scratched up, I had to wipe it off with rubbing compound and wax. the "r3v" vynil faded out because it got hit too and the compound faded it some. Some C-pillar paint is missing so it's a bit "white" there), a piece of my rear bumper is missing (the plastic), so I just drilled the bumper and zip-tied the bumper trim back in place.

FYI, these were Hankooks. So I suggest not having a blow out on them ;)
