I said it, did I not say it! sorry to hear the crap news. You just can\'t use then this time of year. Every time you drive it it\'s like throughing a heads or tails.  :flamed

[J.j.]

but get yourself some advanced driving lessons/skid pan training in a RWD car.

Any recommendation ?

[Sy.]

Mate ... nooo ... i was going to come to ace that night .. sorry to hear about the smash . glad you are ok .
Hope you get another sorted and get back to ace with a "7" see you there.

[Bobfish]

Any recommendation ?

Yes, the cheapest and most effective option would be to get yourself an old capri and pump the rears up to 45psi...just keep it under 70mph

Find yourself some nice roundabouts, and go out and do some sliding.  Buy a DVD called "drift bible" and try and follow its instruction.  I know thats not skid pan training, but it will help you be confident enough to initiate the slide that is going to teach you how to handle a RWD car properly.  Youll be surprised at how quickly your sliding like a pro, this will teach you to keep the sldies going, and end the slides.

Lots of people say its too dangerous to drive their cars in the cold and wet because they wheelspin everywhere, this is exactly why i love my RX7....and also i believe why ive never crashed it; because i purposely go out and have some sideways fun most times that it rains and this teaches me to control it.


And whoever said you cant drive these cars in the rain, why not? Give me ONE GOOD REASON why RX7s are ANY more dangerous to drive in the rain than say a capri, or a BMW...The trick is that they arent, its the driver that is the dangerous one. Try to go fast in the wet without the appropriate skill set and you lose your car.

Driving an RX7 in the wet - DONT put your foot down if your going round anything more than a slight slight corner (unless your confident enough to control 40mph+ slides) and dont try and brake late!

It irritates me people who say driving in the winter is dangerous...its still a car, its got four tyres. It only goes as fast as you drive it.  Go and buy a bloody audi TT if you want to fanny around.

Ian, I have pictures of your crash, want me to upload them for you so you can show it off?

Laeeq, Love you attitude. Hope the next one is ready soon so you can get back out and enjoy it.

[Riccardo]

Luckily you and your friend are ok !
Hope you have one on the road really soon

[Laeeq]

I was told by the police that these two tunnels do cause loads of accidents and believe or not day before yesterday, there was an another car crashed into barriers, almost same spot .  Mine happened on the 28th Dec05.  

Although, many people here may question my driving but i had fast cars before and never went through what these rexs has put me through...but im not the sort of person who gets all wind up in these situations.  I will be back on the road again soon.   It was bad timing, bad place and my bad luck....thats life now need to move on.....
