My 'drift' incident with pics!

I did this a few months back in my hatch.

I had just picked up some sportmax's from 14k. I know, sportmax, but they are the style and width I've been looking for. I remember Eron telling me how good the tires were in the rain, so I went on a beat run. In no way am I blaming you Eron. I had recently installed a VLSD as well.

Anyways, I came up to a stop and did a rather large; 10 or so second brake stand to warm them up. Pulled up to another stop and kicked it sideways to the right; stayed on throttle and banged it into second sending me the opposite way (left) I saw a left turn coming up so I kept it going. Just as I was entering a car was coming from said street. I was coming in full opposite lock, I let off and it kept coming around and I smacked the curb at a rather high speed. The car stalled out, I started up and got the fuck out quick! Pulled into my driveway and the toe/camber was rather wicked. I hit the curb so hard that it smacked the inside of the rim into the well. Too dark to get pics though. Went to tearing the knuckle off my vert. Poor vert.

RUCA:

Seriously?!? They are built pretty strong.

yeah, i think the 17's are built a little stronger.

They're all cast the same.

and they all fail the same.
