[DCT223]

I give you mad respect for posting on the forum about your accident... Glad youre safe, hope you take this as a learning lesson

but with that said... I'm both sad, irritated, and in disbelief inside..

I've seen enough 240's turn into parts cars from everyone who bought the car after it was the car to own and wanted to go drifting... Reading about technique, watching videos will do nothing for you but make you believe you can control the car, its all about experience... Now everyone will get in accidents, trust me ive been in a few but all pretty minor compared to this, and i know my limits. You need to feel comfortable with how your car responds and drives before you start pushing it... especially if its wet out! Like a lot of people mentioned... go to an autoX event... or a track day... or a skid pad... whatever... you wont be a good driver unless you practice and get experience.. the FR-S/BRZ are perfect cars to make you a better driver IMO... its def a drivers car.

I'll share a story with everyone...

Probably 5 years or more ago... I was home on break and I knew someone from HS who told me he also got a 95 240sx prob the 5th day he owned it as well. He sold his DC2 integra and bought it. Very clean s14... one thing that caught my eye was that it was a SE model with no sunroof which I've never seen.. (typically only base models had no sun roofs) He came over because he wanted to fix his stereo before his drive back to socal and wanted to test if his stock amp was busted so we did a quick swap to test. Right before he left my place, i told him.. be sure to take it really easy on turns since it was raining out. I said the rear end will kick right out if you give it too much gas even without a LSD, it wont behave like your integra.

few hours later i get a call.. that he totaled his 240.. Took a corner too fast, spun out, jumped the curb, and ran into a tree... luckily him and his passenger were also safe but I was shocked... I literally told him to be careful and he still managed to wreck it.


PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE people.. leave on your TCS/VSC if you are new to RWD cars... and drive within your own limits! Its too early in the game to start see these cars in part out posts... =[[[[[[
