I scared the living SH** outta myslef today

[shrumhead]

OMG !!!!!! damn... Ok I haven't had this thing for a week yet, and I'm pretty damn used to shifting and stuff now, so I felt confident flooring it down the road that exits my school. Its a road in the middle of nowhwere that goes for about 1/10 of a mile, so its fun to just go speading down it.

Today for the first time I was speeding down it at about 70mph, when I hit the turn to get onto the main road, and my back tires when flying to the side because I was going to freaking fast, and my car basically went freaking horizontal with the road !!! IT WAS GREAT, there were about 4 other fishtails to get myself back on the road but damn.... I almost pissed my pants I thought I was gonna hit the freaking curb and fuck up my tires. I tried fishtailing again and I pretty much have a feel for it now, but earlier... I was scared shitless.

Now I can't stop myself from fishtailing whenever I can <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Have fun, but be careful, especially on public roads. If you hit a curb, or worse, someone else, your tires aren't all you will fuck up. I love doing the same thing, but I have to remember that I paid $500 for my tires and I can't afford that every 2 or 3 months <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/alien.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':alien:'>

LOL @ X-iceman

Yeah I know I really gotta be careful, esspecially when I get my new wheels. &nbsp;I think until I have perfected fishtailing I will limit it to the street outside my school and the street leading to my house <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> its perfect. &nbsp;

Thx for the tips

Have fun, but don't be an idiot and don't be quick to show off to your friends.

i dont know what my brother was doing or how fast he was going... he said he wasnt speeding with wet pavement and he hit slide into the curb with his eclipse... he messed up the Front left control arm, front rear control arm, and a couple more bent suspension parts... still havent gotten a price yet but it cant be too fun.....

I remember fishtailing the first time coming off the interstate and making a sharp turn. &nbsp;Thats when I finally decided to get new tires to replace my bald ones.

[240SxTYLE]

first time i did it was the second week i had it... i was at a left turn stop light and when it turned green, i took it up a little to high and shifted in to second <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'> omg... wwwwweeeeee.... left <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'> ... right <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> .... straight <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'> ... "thank you lord for not letting me die" (actual words). my friend in my car was like <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/eh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':eh:'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/huh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':huh:'>

[JasonNagra]

There was a reply earlier in this post that said something about don't play around or try to fish tail too much with the stock suspension. If using Eibach sportlines and KYB AGX shocks along with Kumo Ecsta MX tires on my S13, that should be a good start for competent fish tailing (drifting) right?? I have the upper strut bars too, eventually I'll get sways but do I only need a thicker rear swaybar and leave the front alone? Thanks everyone, Jason.
