sorry to hear about your accident, the rear tires can def slip around when low tred.

gotta 2003 NFR with 17k miles if youre interested...new rear tires with less than 500 miles

 

 

This ones not gonna buff out

 

somebody's in a rush for cheap deals?..

. . anyways so yeyeye are you going to part out your car?

 

Godspeed recovery man!

 

sorry, dude.

hope you find a new better s2k for your troubles.

would TC be worth getting if you wonly drive in the dry?

 

Does VSA also control the throttle, or just the brakes? Would it have helped in the OP's situation?

 

Yeah im gonna part out the car. I dont wanna piece it back together and have it in the back of my mind later on down the road. Times like this make you appreciate all the members on this site. Its like my second family. Thanks for all your help and kind words. Hopefully ill have another S before the next Super Meet.

 

wow... sorry for the lost.. get well and get another S.... CR???

Well lesson learned...

Don't TRY to mess with Mother-Nature!!!!!!

 

I'm not exactly sure what the sequence of events was here, but as I read the opening post, it seems that this was the result of a combination of hydroplaning, possibly complicated by lifting off the throttle, with that followed by an over correction. I'm not at all sure that VSA or the RLTC would have helped, because if the back tires lost all traction while cornering there is nothing that could prevent them from sliding.

BUT, in spite of the fact that I thoroughly enjoy sliding my car around, I'm actually considering putting an RLTC on my own car. Crazy, totally unexpected hazards can get anyone, and while it is fun to slide the car around, it can get extremely nasty very quickly, especially when you can't see it coming. While I'll probably switch it off when autocrossing, I think it may make the car more confidence inspiring on the track, and I'm hoping it might even improve my lap times.

The RLTC like Ckit has is much more than just a stability control system like VSA, it's an adjustable traction control system that is suitable for use in an all out race car, and I don't think anyone is so good that they wouldn't benefit. The best drivers in the world, F1 drivers, are faster with traction control, and if any of us were that good we'd be out there racing with them. Anyone can benefit.

AND, an RLTC is apt to cost less than the total cost of deductable plus increased insurance rates after a single car accident. It could pay for itself in a single "incident."

I pick my mods very carefully, and the RLTC is currently on the short list.
