I am now one of the poons to make an "I wrecked the Z thread". Long story short, rainy roads and a curve. I was only going thirty miles per hour. The culprit: a bald rear tire. Lesson of the story? Inspect your car often.




On the bright side, a body kit may be in the works.

 

Ouch, glad you're ok. Rain + Z =

 

Yeah, I'm fine. I also managed to avoid the three other cars coming in the other direction. I'll take a guard rail over others any day.

 

=(

 

Glad you're O.K.

 

damn i feel your pain, hope everything works out

 

Glad your okay man I too had one of these accidents back when I first got the car(didn't now the limits and lack of driving skills). Hopefully you have no frame damage and can get her back up and running in no time!

 

I've had the car a year and a half now. First ticket and first accident in five years of driving in the past two months. Ha. The Z must be angry at me for some reason.

 

Ouch. Too bad it was yellow.

 

Makes me worry about my rear tires, T1Rs are sooo good in the rain when they are new. I will have to take it easy till I get new ones or rotate them due to negative camber wear.

 

Definitely keep and eye on them. These were awesome in the rain for the longest time. I never had a problem with slipping or sliding at all. Hell, I'd take it to open parking lots when it was wet to mess around and get a feel for things and they required effort to break loose. Something in the rear had to be out of whack because I changed the brake pads a month or two ago and they were alright and now it's a slick.

 

i feel yea i was driven up in washington the last week and i was hydro plaining everywhere with my tires good thing i have VDC!!!

 

Clean Carfax!

 

just got milowned.

 

sorry to hear that, ive had my moments but VDC intervened every time. i find that none of the tires i have owned could be considered good in the rain, even blizzaks and they are pretty good in the snow...

 

Base Z FTL apparently...

 

damn, that sucks.

 

Did you have tcs or vdc turned off?

 

i hate to see wrecked Z's. but definitely look into getting a kit now if you can!

 

Eh to malaka!!! damn man that'll do it..Baldini's!
