Haha, I slid out badly only once going just 15 mph making a left onto De Anza Blvd. I can still see the whole thing in slow motion.

The outside wheel slipped and started spinning sending the engine revs up (no LSD) and the tail slid out so I was sideways heading straight into the curb on the divider on the inside lane. I countersteered so I avoided the curb, but the tail whipped back the other way, lol. I was very lucky because I was the first car in the outside turning lane and the other guy in the inside turning lane was slow so he was able to stop in time. Now I always push the clutch in on turns when it's wet.

cyberkaa · 03-04-2010, 08:07 PM

Oh and it doesn't help that the stock steering rack is so slooooow.

PICTURES ARE UP! Only thing is I only have pictures of E9X's. Also, sorry if I didn't take enough pictures, bad angles, and horrible lighting. Enjoy.

I wanted to get better shots but my flash died, I didn't have a tripod, and too many people.

Haha. I know, man. After last year's show, I promised myself I'd get a flash, faster lens, and a tripod for next time. Of those, I only got a tripod that I borrowed from a friend and I didn't even bother to bring it because it would be too much to lug around.

Forreals..I was in such a rush after work that I didn't grab batteries nor a tripod. Thank god my camera's battery still had enough juice.
