Well coming out the back gate today at the base. I was at a light turning onto route 3? well it just started raining. I sat there at the light while the rain covered the ground. I spun my tires b4 so I didnt want to do the same in the rain. I slightly put my foot on the gas and my slip light came on. Ok so I let off.

When i made the left turn at about 20 mph my back end slipped out to the right. I slightly corrected to the right then it swung left. corrected left. I was at about 25-27 mph when this was happening. I did this about 4-5 times. Luckily no one was next to me because my tail was sliding to either lane on both sides. I am confused what cause this.

I did not floor it to cause this. I know its raining and slick but what more can I do so that my car will not do this again. Can you also tell me how to correct it when it starts like that again. I was pretty shaken up after it, stayin about 5 under the speed limit all the way home. Remember this is my first RWD car. Thanks you.

 

you did right, correct in the direction you're hydroplaning til the tires grab. don't overcorrect once they grab. new tires maybe? unless you're on ice you shouldn't lose the back end at 25 mph in the rain.

 

you did your first drift. congrats!!!

 

go practice in a very big open lot next time in the rain, upgrade tires

 

yeah, OP...don't be scured...(and don't try this at home).

Smooth everything. Accelerates smoothly, shift smoothly.. you shouldn't have any big problem in the rain.

 

+ 1 on being smooth.. and .. check your rears for wear.

 

What kind of tires are you running? If you say Nitto 555...then that'll explain everything.

 

upgrade tires man!

 

i prob have one of the most smoothest shifts *wink

Thanks for advice all now to find a parking lot

Don't be scared, enjoy the ride!

 

for the first 10 minutes of rain the road is the (slipperiest) i dont thinki speeld that right but anyhow i remeber in drivers ed the road is the most dangerous the first couple minutes because of the oils and blacktop cooling down, i think that what i remeber
