I was with subtledreamer on freeway heading back home, at this junction there is a sharp turning ramp. First thought of course is to push the car through the turn. It was fun for the first half of it, but until a section of the ramp covered in water from sprinkler. My car rear tires lost traction and went sideway for a few seconds and my car spun out and stopped with front tires in dirt. Lucky there is no wall or anything.

Lesson learned:
1. Always watch out during these type of turns, especially WATER!
2. Shouldnt have gas while on the water, or while my rear tires are already
making noise.
3. Counter-steer too slow

 

and...

4. Get some grippy tires that has superior wet handling

Glad you got out of this safe....lesson learned

 

lookout. there is a lot of that around here for some reason. bad sprinklers or landscapers.

thanks for making it to the meet bro.

here are some quick CL pics from tonight (yes, we have weird Monday night meets).

 

dang man look out. thats what u get for chasing the s2 . but forreal, i wouldnt dive into curves that fast in our cars. not only is there significant understeer, our car just plain too heavy. good to hear you didnt slam into the wall

 

shit. at least you alright tho. i remember the first time i fishtailed in my old accord i was shitting bricks for a minute haha be more careful bro!

 

Counter steer is a touchy thing watch out u don't counter too fast or you'll snap the rear end the other way...happened to me once and i 180'd into a wall. luckily i was only traveling like 5 mph at the time of impact thank god.

It's actually not a bad idea goin to a parking lot and swinging that rear end out a few times just to see how she handles.
