Hey guys...let me just say I'm not a pro drifter, nor do I try to be. I just like to have fun. I was driving tonight and figured hey, its raining out so why not try to drift the 8 around this corner. I ripped the e-brake, hit the throttle and I kind of lost control so I spun out (noob! haha). I noticed after I did my 360, the car stalled.

WHy did this happen?

 

Cuz you just fucked ur car up.

what else could it be ?

lessons learned. and try to stop watching 2f2f related movies.

 

lol thanks for the honest answer....i wonder what caused the stall though. I'm thinking it's because when I did the 360, the car went in reverse a little

 

lmao you turned the wheel the wrong way bro.

 

haha yeah i know man...i panicked like a little bitch when i started losing control hahaha

 

no worries, i bent my rim doing the same, slid right into a curb on a rainy day.

 

Often the ESS gets confused...and the ECU shuts the car off to protect the motor...it doesn't like seeing the E shaft rotating the wrong way

 

Something tells me that in 5 years there are going to be a lit less RX8's on the road.

 

One can only hope.

 

is that a good thing or bad thing

good thing is --- car's value might go up ?

bad thing is --- lots of them got ruined by morons ?

 

 

haha that's a classic picture. Look I'm not a moron who races my car at every stop light or tries to do donuts in the middle of the street. I love my 8 and I just tried something fun. I won't be doing it again. I love my car too much lol

 

e brake for a rear wheel drive car that doesnt make sense ,

use your feet and keep your hands on the wheel its not fwd you dont need to use the ebrake

practice on the foot work

 

LOL @ dills... that pic is hillarious!!

 

yeaaah... they'll probably go the way of the 240 and 280 z's.

 

Why does that not make sense??? Its not like you can Power over on a RX-8 with ~150 Ft-lbs. of torque...

 

^this


please stop trying to drift an automatic. That's just dumb.

 

if you know what to do you can get that car side ways so easy

 

Maybe not a moron for trying to have a little fun, but definitely for starting this thread. Why did it stall? Common-******-sense.


Free Post!

 

clutch kick

 

^ WHAT CLUTCH??

 

^ hahaha auto haha

i use the ebrake in my moms van to get sideways

 

Tray drifting ftw!

 

Maybe you should have read the thread

 

Yes yes I know these but obviously he has a Auto because when I had my auto the same thing happened to me... lol
