Icy Parking lots suck. With Pics!

[m0rex]

Yeah icy parking lost suck when you are taking a corner to get in the parking lot and oversteer to much sideways. Well tonight i took my 240sx out thinking it wouldnt be to icy and it turns out that it was. I was coming back from my friends house and took a corner at about 10 mph but sharp into a parking lot to do some quick testing/drifting. Well it turns out that places where there wasent any cars going through were fucked up and ended up hitting the curb sideways on the drivers side. :Ownedd:

The good thing is that this is not the first time that it has happen to me so im not really that stress out about it because i know how to fix it fast and i think i know where to get it at. Its also time for some new tires too- another rant since my rim is cracked dont know what to do with the Enkei's since they dont make this model anymore and im broke.

Yeah don't worry about it..
Last friday when I came back from work (it raining) I had a Fuxxing oversteer at about 20 mph..my good luck want that in this industrial zone there are curb of 8/10 " and my car is sit too low for it.. result.. my bumper is broke (fortunately I've not yet installed the new one) the tie rod is broke, some metal piece is broke, the bumper had torque the quarter fender and the support of the headlight broke.. finally I think about a 2K $ of work..happy christamas massimo!! :rant2: :Ownedd:

BONG! you pwned yourself man

[hotrodv]

Think that could happen.. on the last month 3 silvia owner here crash the car..not a luck monts for silvia :axe:
Now I looking some models..it's for soul... :wiggle:

[kandyflip445]

I wouldn't have gone out with tires that bald.

[old_s13]

why do people fuck up their cars and call it "oversteering"

its more like lack of control

[HyperTek]

shoulda bought a FWD car... this wouldnt have happened.. =D

[hotrodv]

shoulda bought a FWD car... this wouldnt have happened.. =D

I miss some zilvia acid user.. :kiss:
I ever told the same thing, but believe, it can happen in the dumbest mode possible, I ever had Rwd cars, isn't the first one..
and..yes I agree with name it lost control of the car..

[JaeTea]

Am I the only one who has heard the term "black ice"???? :confused:

[amolao]

Big Ouch! Time for a new control arm... :bash:

[HyperTek]

cheer up, it happens alot now... my friend snapped his t/c rod when he hit a curb. might want to invest in some aftermarket tension rods now just incase your t/c rods got weakend.

[93DRIFT]

yeah i live in canada and the snow is horrible up here. the guy i bought my car from had a set of goodyear t/a studded tires and they kick ass.the difference is unbelievable.definately sumthing you should invest in if your in the snow alot

[SimpleS14]

Am I the only one who has heard the term "black ice"???? :confused:

no your not the only one

m0rex - sucks that happened....but it beats me to why you would purposely go out knowing there is a potential for ice.

hotrodv - I want to see pictures lol sorry that had to happen....maybe next time you get better tyres?

What kind of brand is Federal? Certanly nothing that should be on a sports coupe.

[nokeone]

federal tires are suxors...costco special...or something of the like...

[Dousan_PG]

its more like lack of control


hahahahaha
so true

We should start calling it "initiating a spin". :D

[S14DB]

I guess TruStop brakes don't live upto their name...

Oh, get an alignment too. Talk about uneven tire wear.

braking for is IRRELEVANT!

[MakotoS13]

FORCE..................

[old_s13]

hahahahaha
so true

Federal tires though... jeeez.

I mean not that it would matter if you had a sticky tire or not, because good tires are only useful for good drivers. BUT... if you suck at driving, just keep practicing. Lucky for you, neither your rims OR tires are expensive.

Another lesson, practice practice practice....

[hotrodv]

I take some pic today..

I can name his ouch stopped by the curb.. or a crocked grind.. :duh:

@Old S13 this can happen for lot of reason, it's ever better don't talk about good driver or so, it's enough a evening when you are so tired from work,bad street or weather.. A friend of mine has a kouki too and he drive on rally from 10 years, some month ago under rain he loose control of the car, only luck because the street was big and anyother on it..and believ is a very good driver..

The new headlight is coming yesterday..my father had a garage and nissan do some discount.. a fucking 5% :rl:
Price for 2 kouki headlight is: 800€ incl. vat and discount.. that really sucks!!
it's about 1070 USD now.. not bad..one month of work.. :ughug:
Nismo power brace?? I'll go to see how much it is..I've also thinked about Tein tie rod and road end..but I've the possibility to have some parts from another s14 with broken engine.. it's lot cheaper..

[hotrodv]
