definitely upgrade that piece!! i have done similar things and ended up lowering my car and getting it done cheaper than oem

i peeled out my 8v in front of DEI(dale earnhardt incorporated)

John5788 · 03-19-2006, 07:31 AM

I do plan on upgrading it. I started a thread on it too :)

Dude I cant even tell you how many times I've slid my 16v out its so fucking easy a kid with downsyndrome could brake em loose. Controlling it is another story, just do it? I feel for your car but I think you need to get into a different state of mind, right now you probably know nothing about your car and so on and probably even less about driving, dont think you do because you dont, youre too young lol. Experience can only be gained with time so if you don't want a second comming of your shameful accident I would go to a parking lot and practice small and not so powerful donuts and turns, then you can gradually up the speed I guess. Wait, dont do anything I said, I dont even know you let alone believe you can handle anything that car can do.

well thanks, that made me feel like crap after reading that....

i have been experimenting a little bit more with controlling my car. I'm getting the feel of the rear end sliding out from pulling hand brake and making car turn 180 degrees. I actually went out last night and di this.

Did a huge tuneup on my car, feels great. Here are some pics:
