Did my first powerslide today in 1st gear way near the redline on a sharp ass turn and man was it FUUUUUN, my boy was in the car with me and he screamed the whole time hahahahaha. i took a pic of my skid mark, it may be stupid to some but it was an important moment in my life.

nsx04

so...you think you've achieved something?

sorry i don't see how you can be so proud of yourself for this.

phee

iTrader: (5)

well im proud because i did it in a stock tl and didnt lose control, i said it was important to me doesnt have to make sense to you, just wanted to share, thanks for the love anyway

ChrisQ1980

And what if you did lose control? Or what if you hit another car? I dont understand how this is of ANY importance. Just my opinion. Not very productive.

phee

iTrader: (5)

well it was an open road and no cars around, guess it was reckless, here we go with the FLAMES. i just thought it was an interesting experience and wanted to know if anyone else had done it

philly fresh

its people like you that want to try stunts like this that make everyones ins. rates go up. no i dont drive my car like that, its a TL not a beater 240. thank god your in a different city than i am. one less goof off to worry about

philly fresh

and it looks more like understeer to me.

phee

iTrader: (5)

had no idea you guys would be so harsh about this, as you can see its a deserted road. im not going to do this on a daily basis

2K3_TLs

thats what you say now...

we all know how long thats going to last... once the mods come, it will be a every other day thing.

haha jk, i could care less what you do with your car... as long as you dont powerslide your car into mine.

phee

iTrader: (5)

ill be sure to slide clear of your car and aim for someone elses i ::PROMISE::

philly fresh

yeah and if you would have tagged that curb this would be in the problems area asking if you could fix your car for cheap. you need to be careful out there thats all especially when you have other people in the car with you. because when your behind the wheel you are ultimately responsible for the passengers and thier lives. if you wanna drive like that take it to the track where you can only do harm to yourself

02type-s

Hmm. I predict . Anyone else?

BTW a "powerslide" is when the car is sliding, but completely or almost completely sideways. You have had your first major understeer.

TwinTurbo335

haha shit how fast were u going?

subbuzz

congrat's, I did my first "slide/burnout" the other day. turned the vsa off threw the type-s in tipronic and let her rip.then snached the eb in an empty lot it's fun, just be careful. when your stupid,be smart about it........




@ "important moment in my life" but i def feel ya...........

JCharged

iTrader: (5)

Nice rip.

I 50 mph'd this 25 mph turn everyday on the way home from work.

I love to test out my TL's suspension.

One of my favorite parts of the day.

MurkyRiversTL

Dude, more power to you... I use to do that shit in my crx, my cavalier, and my integra... I think I even did it in my isuzu trooper.... dont ask me how I didnt flip, cause I was too drunk to remember.

And I will probably do it in my car, when Im done with thte project..... enjoy yourself, and if you die, then you gotta be dead....lol.... just dont die and everything will be fine.

And for those other "perfect" people... chill out, the guy is sharing his moment with us.... lets not be dickfaces.... yeah I said dickface.... i made that shit up.

TwinTurbo335

+1

MurkyRiversTL

Why do you predict a dancing lock.... thats a weird thing to predict.....

Im gonna predict a....... swimming spoon

ChrisQ1980

^^^ Nobody here is perfect. The majority aren't wreckless. If he posted a dyno, timeslip, pic or video of him on a road course/AutoX then I'd be all about it. That's fun and actaully achieving something.

Skidding on a public road around a turn is pointless and proves nothing at all. Wow he didn't crash CONGRATS. I personally don't care what he does, he isn't in my area. How would you feel about this thread if you were posting it describing how you were approaching the corner and some kid in a TL trying to "powerslide" slid into your car?

CL Platano

thats just stupid even looks like you blew through a stop sign... proud of you , i'll send you a dozen donuts

MurkyRiversTL

I dont think skidding around a turn is pointless.... maybe there is more to his story like he was being chased by a swarm of bees, and doing what he did was the only way he could live..... what then huh buddy.....

Either way.. he had fun and he didnt powerslide into my car, or anyone elses, Im sure it would be on here if he did.

fsttyms1

that looks like oversteer, not a power slide.

Also guys, dont act like you never did any thing wrong on the road. None of you are holier than thou.

MurkyRiversTL

God speaks..... and his say is final.....



I know, I know... Im an ass kisser

S1CK TypeS

i used to do powersliding and drifing in my e36. i used to be pretty decent at it. then one day i fucked up and spun into a pole. did $4000 worth of damage to a car worth only 6000. never will i beat on my TL like that, catch me on the hwy and ill drop gears but i dont beat on my tires like that. i like having tread. good traction is a valueable thing lol

phee

iTrader: (5)

thank you for all the guys who actually understand, and yea, seems like a major underster,but i was coming in the opposite direction that the picture is facing, it was actually waaaay longer than the skids you see and i got completely sideways. i thought it was interesting to see how fast i could take a sharp turn and test my tl. thats all, i was doing about 45

fsttyms1

Should have been able to take that turn much faster than 45. Lord knows ive taken street corners like that closer to the 60 mark without sliding or being out of control.

phee

iTrader: (5)

hmm, well i didnt really look at the speedo, but i know i was close to the redline because my boy screemed "SHIIIIIIFFFFT" whats the speed of hitting the red on first in a 99 tlp

phee

iTrader: (5)

oh yea, and i didnt go into the turn at that speed, i started it at about 20 then i gunned it at the apex of the turn

TwinTurbo335

if you guys dont like what he posted dont comment.. simple as that. no need for negative comments.

Malayalee King

iTrader: (1)

fast racer!

Rsoetidjo

I used to do that on my 1st car.
It's pretty fun.
But you just dont do that on your TL.
1st to nice of the car and 2nd it's FWD.

philly fresh

you are correct but i always did it in empty wet walmart parking lots. thats why imports have a bad rap. cuz they drive like fuckin idiots. racing through areas that have lots of traffic and just blatantly disrespecting the law. yes we all speed thats a give but to be takin turns like that is really dumb. i see its in the country but just be a lil more careful. you wanna drive like that take it to track. autoX you car then post pics. trust me you will recieve alot more love.

acura tl 06

tats kool i do tat sometimes 2 have fun too it fells kool lol

phee

iTrader: (5)

i stated that the road was empty and it is actually a back entrance road intoa kroger parking lot. so what makes you so much better than me?

2K3_TLs

Because your god... you can do things like that.

BaByBlAcKtYpE-s

iTrader: (2)

Nice slide or understeer which ever you or anyone else perfers but personally i wouldnt do it to my tl love it way to much to risk damage to it. but ur car ur choice i must looks fun though. be careful and not to reckless

6MTUA5

iTrader: (2)

I've only done this in my TL in wet parking lots like someone said. I used to do it in the grass in my 93 Civic at a city park.

Syed

i agree with some comments that this stunt should not be pulled on a TL. if you have a crappy ride then its alright. btw i loved doing that when i first started to drive in my civic. the longest drift/skid i did was for 2 whole mins during winter WHEN THERE WERE NO CARS, PEOPLE, ANIMALS, etc...was going 60 km/h and pulled the e-brake and after that it was like sliding left then right for like 2mins straight. it was a long wide road and snow/ice/slush on the road. it was awesome.
