lol @ my sexy asian model and jail house pose's lol:lmao:

this is definatly something we need to do again next summer:goodjob:

[mushroom_toy]

Appreciate it man. Yeah i wish I would have remembered to get my tripod out. :( But yes mountain runs ftw. Youre a good driver as well. I can trust you driving. :goodjob:

[cwhiteboy]

Yes good times, I'll try to have the videos up by tommorrow, taking forever to render.

^Woot. Yeah i know how that goes....Ripping last years formula D footage and getting it to not drop frames was a bitch. :)

[Revmaynard]

So....what happened to that guy's CRX?

[Andy_013]

So....what happened to that guy's CRX? over-steer into a wall.

good meeting everyone
I should have pics up tonight

[mushroom_toy]

^Spun out and crunched the rad support, and busted the lower endtank off the rad. Thats the gist of it.

All those leaves on the ground and me hitting a corner, then lights out

[Black R]

ouch. :(

[swollix]

hmm I was supposed to go, I still don't see how you can oversteer a FWD car.... At least Honda parts are cheap.

[Andy_013]

I posted up some pictures (http://www.importatlanta.com/forums/showthread.php?t=203921)

He can thank that thick rear sway bar for it.

[Papa_Smurf]

boys, that mountain run was a fucking BLAST!

even after kevin crashed, he never got down about it once. he kept a positive attitude and kept sayin "man, when we get this radiator fixed, i'm going to commerce!" lol crazy!

But anyway, besides our little incident, i think it was a great run. it alot of fun to say the least, and i cant wait to get the in car videos up!

[southside]

Wall damage< Cliff damage

[00CelicaGT]

i think it was an experience that will make kevin a better driver... i know mine did!

[Papa_Smurf]

i think it was an experience that will make kevin a better driver... i know mine did!

i can agree with that.

it sounds to me like he's got sum suspension issues, but i think once he gets it all dialed in it will handle good for him.

Well anyway the car is running now, so I don't have to depend on the rear tire of my bike anymore :lmfao:

[KevinT707]

I had fun even though I did hit the side of a cliff LOL, all thanks to the rear sway bar on full stiff which I shall adjust it ASAP. But yeah positive attitude homies! I'll get it fixed & looking good again then lets go on another mountain run!!

I'll post my pics after I get off work, holla.

[00CelicaGT]

i can agree with that.

it sounds to me like he's got sum suspension issues, but i think once he gets it all dialed in it will handle good for him.

the only issuse's is that the car wasn't dialed in for kevin's driving, kevin wasn't used to a vehicle being that stiff. it's not alwas the best ideal to got to the mountains and not have ur suspension dialed in to ur driving ability.

it's like i was saying u have to get to know ur car and know when ur pushing it to it's limits, i know when my car is about to come around on me and when i feel it coming around i ease out of the gas and i never step on the brakes. i bet money when kevin felt it coming around he stepped on the brakes and thats wat u dont want to do.

kevin if u need help getiing the car dialed in LMK and ill be glad to help:cheers:

tony ur excuese is :gay: lol j/k but there bikes up there all day. there is a reason i always tell everyone to drive at there own pace, cuz u may have a lot of money in ur suspension setup but it doesn't mean u can handle the car in real hard turns on narrow roads.

[mushroom_toy]

Im glad i got less than $100 in my setup. :)

[rbf]

The pictures actually look nice,the leaves make it look all nice.hahahahaa looks like everyone had fun hope I can make it to one of these one day.

[KevinT707]

Here's a few of my pics:

I actually did not touch the brakes after my rear end started going, I only tried to counter steer. Maybe I should of stomped the gas I dunno but anyway I'll keep on messsing with my suspension & take it up there again after I get it fixed.

[KevinT707]

A few more.

[00CelicaGT]

damn i just lost my money lol.

yeah luke thank god u only have $40 bucks in ur suspension. lol luke ur a really good drive and i can only imagine wat u could do wit ur car if u had a lil better setup, but really good driver's always make due with wat the have.

Lol nice. :)

[green91]

Kevin, dont sweat it man.. everyone who pushes their car to the limits has accidents.. it happens! Ive spun mine out and under steered through turns before. Im just glad it looks like you didn't get hurt and the car should be easy to fix.

With a real stiff rear end its very easy to over steer with an EF, especially since they have little/no weight on the back half. So to the guy who says he doesn't know how its possible, head back over to the European forum where maybe your infinite knowledge will be more useful.

[sakasaku]

it show how nice we are in the ef squad!

[Papa_Smurf]

LOL @ the animal lover!

where's the videos mike?!

Does the Squad always have such great teamwork?..& did it make it home?

The guy in the black Ecko shirt your facial expressions are priceless.[in a good way]
:cheers:

[Papa_Smurf]

yea, the squad is always helpful when it comes to cars. we're more like a family than a car club :yes:

yea, kevin made it home, and i believe he even drove up to commerce to go drag that night but they canceled it due to weather

[Grimm Reeper]

I'm ready for next time :goodjob: lol

Hey man we all drive EFs.. every run ive been on we've ended up fixing something in a macgyver style fashion lol.

Thanks for support! Yeah I'm not even mad that it happen, just glad that I didn't get hurt & the CRX is fine. In a week or 2 it will be back to normal looking fine & dandy again.

Ha, I just find it funny that a FWD car with little torque oversteers much easier than my RWD car making twice as much torque. You wanna talk about little to no weight in the back half, well my car definitely has Kevin's beat:

And you can't say my rear suspension is soft either:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v344/swollix/car/IMG_0419.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v344/swollix/car/IMG_0415.jpg

[green91]

You do realize the amount of torque in a FWD has nothing to do with it oversteering right? You car probably oversteers when you power it out of a corner, you are inducing oversteer by losing traction with engine power. Plus youve got drivedrain in the rear, in addition to more of your engine weight & transmission BEHIND the front wheels.

FWD oversteer based on virtually no weight except for the passengers & chassis on the rear wheels, in addition to stiff suspension along with a tight rear sway bar. The weight distribution on EF chassis is really closer to 70/30.. I dont see how your lack of spare tire could even make you think your weight distribution is near the same as ours. That being said, both of our vehicles handle VERY well.. its just that the cause of the oversteer conditions are WAY different.

Plus, even by your flawed logic, i bet my car's torque numbers aren't half of yours :)

[00CelicaGT]

SWOLLIX-ur comparing Apples-oranges to one another. go back to the BMW section!

[green91]

Let him keep on, i like making these guys look like dumbasses.

[swollix]

Ha okay, didn't realize the weight distribution was THAT terrible. I guess I am used to my car's 49.7/50.3 distribution. Also, I have MUCH more than a spare tire removed, My car weighs in at just over 2,700 lbs from a stock weight of 3,200. So the only weight in the rear is from my LSD. I am not making fun of or attacking anyone I was just wondering why Kevin oversteers so easy, because he has been complaining ever since he got the K-sports.

[KevinT707]

So anyway, when are you going to settle this in the mountains? I want to go again soon ..

[mushroom_toy]

^ Im in. XD

[VickNotic]

OVERSTEER FTW

This guy really just doesnt get it. Its not even worth trying to debate him.

[Papa_Smurf]

haha i wolnt be leavin my homies our of the loop on this next run, thats for damn sure! that was too much fun.

if i go over thanksgiving week, i'll be taking it easy. i be the cops are pretty active this time of year

[swollix]

Oh god these people. YES, my LSD is 1350 lbs.! How much is yours? I don't see why you guys have to get all defensive about a comment I made and attack me, rather than just explain what caused the oversteer. It's not like I attacked Kevin or meant to offend him, in fact me and him drove to Commerce later that day. I have worked on my car at his house many times... Sorry, not everyone drives and understands what it is like to own a disposable car.

:lmfao:
ok buddy we understand ur car is RWD, u have LSD, and u posted pics to show off ur suspension mods. my ? to u is why make a statement that u obviously know nothing about. u dont know any factory stats about our car's.

for example:
i know nothing about ur bimmer except that it's RWD, they are pretty quick from factory, and that its a bimmer. i dont know any stats on ur car, like WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION, power to weight, horse power, tourqe, etc....

now why would i make a comment about something i know nothing about, that's wat seperates people with common sense and people who know nothing or someone just wanting to be a smart ass.:goodjob:



p.s.
if we total our car's we wont have a hard time finding another, good luck if ur bimmer gets totaled:goodjob:

[green91]

Sorry, not everyone drives and understands what it is like to own a disposable car.

You are a condescending piece of shit. Not everyone in the EF squad drives them because they are easy to replace or inexpensive.. Ive got a new Tacoma, 2 efs, own a house, and have more toys than you could imagine. I could buy nearly any car i wanted. I drive them because i like the chassis, ease to mod and how well they can handle. Take your bullshit pompous bmw asshole mentality somewhere else, its not wanted here. Its not like older bmws are out of reach of nearly everyone in the world anyway.

hmm I was supposed to go, I still don't see how you can oversteer a FWD car.... At least Honda parts are cheap.


hey, not everybody understands how honda's can oversteer.

it's quite common in fwd platforms, just google the term 'lift off oversteer' and do some reading.

Kevin, good to know you'll be back on the road soon.

Somebody hit me up if you decide to go back over thanksgiving holiday - I'll definitely be able to make it.

[KevinT707]

I think yall have attacked my homie Alex (Swollix) enough, he may have deserved it or not I don't really care but yeah no point in arguing so he says sorry & forgive him for his bad manners: :D :goodjob:

BTW do you or anyone you know have a 88-91 Civic/CRX radiator support and/or 90-91 CRX front bumper?
