I wrecked doing about 80 a week ago. Fortunately I only busted My right rear control arms, and I have a spare car. Not like you probably care.

Don't let the panzies get to you. Half of them probably don't even have a 240, much less try to push some limits in their car. Yeah some of them are cool, but sh*t they love to get on the bandwagon.

Most of us (meaning more than 50%) have a 240, and I bet some of us do push are cars pass the speed limit. I tend to push my car to the limit, but there are three things you can control when your driving....weather, light, and road conditions. Sure you can push your car to the limits...but you have to use your head sometimes.

Nobody can change the law of physics......

Remember the Stage of the Street, is just that. Anything can happen. Take care

As a matter of fact I own the SR you see as my Avitar w/ 14lbs of boost. I just happen to be smart enough to do it on a track.

You just sound like one of the stupid kids on the Civic boards. Grow up

What you don't realize is that he could have killed someone innocent. I'm not sure about you, but I'd rather be a panzie then take someone's life away for the simple fact of having fun.

It's good to see you all rush to the defencive. GT spec R I am with you on the laws of physics, they bend for no man. It just ****es me off when these kids come off all high and mighty. It's like they are the police. If he would have killed somebody he would have gone to jail. The Civic boards ha. Somebody sounds a little guilty. P.S. It just that you don't know anything about where it happened, when it happened, or why. So don't be so quick on the Judgement button. You would have pronounced him guilty already.

It's not like if he goes and kills somebody cause he F'd up they are going to come knocking on your door.

Nrcooled I know you have a 240. lets get some pics anyway. lets all please remember we are. We all have made mistakes.

Guys. This is a topic. The topic is called "crashed at 110mph." If you're not going to post thoughts on the crash or the driver, don't post, or I'll lock this.

It felt rotten seeing my car today. It was like saying goodbye to an old friend, but I had to see it in such dismal shape. I could have sat in that broken drivers' seat for days, silent...

There will be another.

Nismos14 · 02-17-2003, 05:40 PM

wow glad to see ur okay man, at least the engine and tranny and such are salvageable, are u going to part the car out? or let the insurance take it?

240racer · 02-17-2003, 07:16 PM

I noticed that the windshield wipers were partly up, which means they were probably being used at the time of the crash. If not, then forget this. However, if they were, that means it was wet enough to need them, and therefore too wet to be going 110 on a straight road.

Understeer is not the worst thing ever. Oversteer is at least as bad, if not worse. All racing vehicle dynamic books explain that some amount of "stable understeer" is required to be able to drive a car near the limit. If you want to drift that's fine, but if you want to be fast or safe, then slight stable understeer is what you want. There is a very good reason why almost every production car, whether it be a taurus or corvette or McLaren F1 has understeer. I have yet to hear about any car that handles well with oversteer.

/etc/shadow · 02-17-2003, 07:18 PM

No, it wasn't wet. They just came up on their own. I probably hit the lever when I hit the concrete pillar and momentarily lost consciousness.

damn man ... thats bad ... glad to hear your ok ... on a different note ... would you be interested in selling your under spoiler if it is in good condition ... if so could you PM me ... thanks .....

240racer · 02-17-2003, 08:57 PM

I could see how you could hit the switch, that must have been quite the jolt. Glad to see that you are okay. This probably won't happen again too many times. I'm sure you'll be a little more cautious about going fast. Also, man I'm surprised you got that thing up to 110, when I had the SOHC that thing was so slow. I think I maybe went like 100 a couple times downhill. Then again, I'm trying not to speed anymore since I would get my license suspended if I get another ticket.

You kidding me? That little SOHC will soar if it's in good shape. A new O2 sensor, fuel filter, air filter, cleaned it up a bit, and the thing would pull all the way to 118!
