So i am driving into work two days ago and i was getting off the freeway. I looked around to make sure there are no cops and i take off. I go around the turn and put it in 2nd and floor it... i pitch it out sideways and its go way out... so i let off the gas and then i was going straight at a car... so then i hit the brakes, and do a full 180 and slid backwards straight up a curb. luckily there was no damage to the body, but as i pull off the curb, i start to scrape... well just took the car in this morning, and come to find out i have to fork out about $2,000 for new cats and other little stuff... can you say idiot!!!!!!!!

 

wow that sucks.. nice first post!

 

Dang man, sounds like you still need to get used to the power of the Z or something. I know what you did because I did a 180 in the street with my Z before when I wasn't too familiar with its power, lol. Where are you in the Bay Area?

 

Idiot

Don't feel to bad, most of us have done something stupid like that... Back when I got a brand new Honda Accord (back in 1990) i had some supsension and stuff put on it and was bragging to my friend how good it handles. So I took him for a ride and punched it around this corner, my car slid up a driveway @ a 45 degree angle and nailed a mail box, I must of punted that mail box a good 200 feet, but it left a huge dent in my hood and bumper cost me about $800 to fix it...

 

^LOL good handling and honda accord dont go together.
I dont know, i've punched it several times around a turn and almost lost it. You guys must have slow *** reaction times

 

yeah..you are definetely an idiot.

 

I agree you are...learn to drive...then learn to drive the Z

 

Thanks for raising my insurance unnecessarily. gg

 

Let me know if you need any parts, I have like 10 Z OEM cats at home, lol and y pipes, and what not.

 

This was back when I was 19, when your 19 you think all Hondas handle good

 

Never downshift and "punch it" in a turn. Select your desired gear before entering the turn and shift and accelerate smoothly. I too have learned the hard way.

 

welcome to RWD! ITs alot of fun

And welcome to the forum!

 

lol this is a funny post..

 

I would suggest leaving your TCS on until you know how your car handles ... Then again you may be a lost cause ...

 

lol @ noob

 

the thing that sucks the most is that i was supposed to be taking my car to the track on wed...

 

go catless...those things rob HP like a ****...go buy some used test pipes or hi-flow.

 

For the sake of the other drivers at the track, I hope the walls between each lane are 10 feet high 3 feet thick.

are you being serious? you can't even handle going around a turn and want to take it to a track?

dutchboy( wondering what the age of the OP is ? )

 

Are you a Hollywood stunt driver?

 

hmm ... I thought stunt driver's performed stunts in other peoples cars ... not their own.
