2nd gear fishies in the wet

As it says, tonight i was being a dick and drifting in a down-poor.

I went around one of my fav drift corners in 2nd at about 3000RPM, she slid out with hardely any powerover, so i kept the foot into it and kept the tacho at 5000ish and held it for about 2 seconds at a good angle, then as she came back inline i deliberately made it go into a fish tail, then into another one, and this went on for about 4 linked fishies untill it all went pair shaped!

as i went for the 5th it went out to an insane angle that i just couldnt get the full lock on fast enuff, so i knew i was in a bit of trouble, then she kicked out the other way and it was going around so fast i knew i couldnt do sh1t, so i just let her go around and i just tromped the clutch and brake pedal and she slid to a halt.................(this is the insane bit)............i stopped between a ditch and a telephone pole..........HOW LUCKEY IS THAT!

for the rest of the drive home i didnt speed, drift or speak......i am still shaking a lil with a slight smile on my face..... man these cars are fun! and i wish i had a video camera to see the look on my face, lol..........

catch yas

lol very nearly became a statistic hehe :slap:

Dont go doin stuff like that when u get ure dohc turbo :tongue:

u should take it from me.. they mean it when they say u should go slower in they wet.. AUS roads are so ****ed u can have grip on one part of the road and u go 50m and its like ice in the wet... eps coz we have had jack all rain and when it duz it so bad

Ah... the joys of RWD... :laugh:

Hehe similar thing happened to me except i JUST hit a curve.

Man in Australia, don't go drifting in the wet with roads that are PAVED!

damn nice save.. i had a similiar experiance but i almost tagged a jeep wrangler at about 40.. man i crapped my pants

Man I haven't really had any close calls...around others at least...the joys of living in the country, and having dirt roads everywhere...:twisted:

lol...wow...something similar happened to me when i was driving in the hurricane weather making a left turn through a light...i ended up doing a 180...and just in the nick of time i moved out the way before the oncoming traffic came...lol...i was shaken up after that...but later on laughed it off...

i did something i dont normally do and that was going for a gallop in someone elses car (aus spec R31 squareline) in the wet!! this car has only basic breathing mods and king springs, but it just slid sooo easy!!!

a clutch pop in 2nd out of a sidestreet at 30mph is soo much fun!!
