Wow, I just need to stay out of this thread I think. Lol.
Yes, I talked about replacing some parts with aftermarket. And? I believe we wouldn't have a forum without aftermarket. Aftermarket and fast/crazy/dangerous aren't synonyms.
Who said anything about throwing random parts here and there anyway?
I talked to people on these forums, and 3 racers about what, if anything, I should switch to aftermarket while it's torn apart. We put our heads together and sat down to get all crazy and shit, lob some parts around, see what happens.
The conclusion we came to, to really crazy it up, was a set of LCA's if I decide later down the road I'd like to adjust the rear camber a bit, and possibly a cat back exhaust if I can find a used one I like, since the oem will need to be removed anyway.
Not exactly lobbing parts around to see what happens, or even adjust the handling to dial out my lack of talent.
I've already said how stupid, dangerous, and completely unlike my normal demeanor to act like that. Said it many times on the forum.
Also, I said before and after that I planned on taking high speed driving classes, two of them, up at PIR. I just needed to, wait for it, finish wearing these tires out so I could go to the track with safe ones. Also save money of course.
Anyway, yeah, you can judge me if you want too. I had the balls to post the opposite of cockiness, bordering on self-deprecation, online for the "world" to see my mistakes.
I'm done making excuses. I fucked up, I am attempting to make sure it never happens again, I haven't lied, have taken responsibility for my actions, and took the high road for all but you last two that have piled on. Guess what? I'm not as bad a driver as I let on to be. It's just easier than trying to Internet race. I've driven exotic cars all over the world, gone to motorcycle racing schools, set pretty good lap times on bikes if I do say so myself. I was being cocky by turning off traction control, no doubt. The real reason for the spin was less cockiness and more not paying good enough attention to what I was doing.
Again, my fault. Feel better now? Now I've got to get back and start throwing random aftermarket gear at my car to make me a better driver.
