Sounds like Grand Theft Auto car names.

That top gif is like

Good job that thing protects the head of the driver, cause they’ll now spend a lot more time crashing.

Time and time again I’ve been told that wheel jacking is wrong, it reduces grip and generally indicates a poorly setup suspension. I DON’T CARE, I fit a beefy RSB to my Focus and now it slightly oversteers on corner exit, while raising one wheel like a pissing dog, and I love it.

In Russia it is illegal to modify cars. Now let me clarify. You can fit coilovers (but only the good ones), air filters and what not, but every modification has to be certified. What that means is you can have a Thule roof rack, but God forbid your land rover has a handmade rack. You like fitting xenon lights and LED…

Your secret is safe with me, brother.

Does yours freak out any time you avoid an accident when say somebody swerves into your lane and you moose test around that idiot? Cause mine loses her shit whenever something similar happens and I live in Russia: it happens almost routinely.

They removed it in stage 2, after the swap to the 20 valve engine. I guess the Fujiwaras were just very thick-skulled if it seriously never got to them. The speed in the car routinely showed 130kph, for crying out loud.

Throwing in the wife used to cut my average speed in half. She hates cars, traffic, gets car sick and is very afraid of high speeds. What she doesn’t know is that I gradually increase the speed and g-forces that we experience on our drives, Pavlov style.

Just saw on Instagram that the hay claimed Chris Forsberg’s Z. So many disciplines, same outcome.

Tell me I am not the only one who is reminded of Initial D: Fourth Stage, when Takumi in the AE86 raced a professional driver in an EK9 Civic, who only lost because a small animal ran into his line, causing him to lose balance and thus pace, allowing the AE86 to slip into his line and getting a minor lead on the final…

This question makes me really sad, a garage is one of those things that I can afford, but unfortunately can’t have. I live in Moscow, Russia, a few facts about it:

I will however concede on the following: it is driver error first and foremost. My whole point is that one must fully understand their car before they go changing anything about it. I’ve been driving my car for four years now, and I am still not confident I am pushing it to its utmost limit, despite it being a…

OK, think of it this way: what happens when you remove a car’s suspension and replace it with wooden blocks, which is whatcha most Chinese coilover kits do anyway? The car doesn’t roll, yes, but neither can it absorb any impacts transferred through the wheels. If the car had a softer suspension he wouldn’t have gone…

I am saying that because of the stiff anti roll bars the car couldn’t compress on the side that hit the curb, it’s not like swaybars magically prevent roll, the left side fully compressed under the weight of the car, preventing the independent suspension from doing its thing, due to the right side compressing with it.…

You’d think that’d be impossible in a Type R though. By “rolled” I meant pivoted around the car’s roll center. My guess was he made the mistake of buying the biggest swaybars he could get his hands on, and thus the car was unable to compensate for the bump on the curb, thus launching it into what we witness here.

If the car’s body rolled more, wouldn’t it have just oversteered? I once experienced a similar situation, overcooked the corner at speed, the car hopped on rebound and did a 180° spin.

Summarized: too much confidence. That would apply to both driving and modifying.

Preach, comrade.

I was wondering about that actually. Too bad where I live they don’t survive for long. Bad roads, you see.
