4pistonfury (my nephew) flipped his CRX

[av8ter]

Just find a cheap Hatchback civic 1988-1991 and transfer all the parts over. Dohc engine, interior,suspension, wheels, seats.

It absolutely astounds me how many Hondas one sees that have been flipped over. They're really stable cars. Must be something about the drivers?

Glad to hear he's okay, though. That kind of thing will scare the willies out of a young driver.

That's what I'm hoping.

At least it wasn't his festiva.

it worked for me, 3 weeks after i got my license (i hate this story) i wrecked a festiva being young and stupid, haven't done any kind of damage to my cars since

[skeeters_keeper]

looks a lot like the damage that a co-worker had to his 240... he blew a tire going around a turn and rolled it. no seatbelt, walked away, he got lucky

I'm the wild child that flipped my poor baby. I tried to shed a few pounds for acceleration and had nothing in the trunk ( no spare or even carpet) and no gas so the tail was extremely light. Then, as I was gettin it on an on ramp, I quickly took my foot off wich slowed me down and quickly shifted all of the weight to the front. Result- accidental drift. This crash video is identical to what happened to me -http://youtube.com/watch?v=WNQvwtwI-TM

That link didnt work for me.

[neanderpaul]

Here you go.

It does like like what happened I still think you were going at least 65.

[SimonTuffGuy]

Does he want to sell those seats?!

[neanderpaul]

^ I'm sure he doesn't. He just put them in a few weeks ago. He has already found a miata he wants. He was complaining about hating front wheel drive and has been wanting a miata for some time now. I'm sure he'll swap the seats over.

[av8ter]

Miatas are AWESOME!!!! :twisted: :twisted:

rule #1: NEVER give a 16 y/o a "sports" car as a first driver.

His first driver was my 6th festiva. He still has it. He got the CRX a few months ago. He is 19.

not to be an butt, but he should have stuck with the festy... and for driving FWD for at least 2 years, he should have known to transfer weight to the rear for better balance instead of striping it out.

but all of this is comming from someone who learned about weight transfer in a fiero (the hard way). Never wrecked it save for a small fender bender (blew out a headlight), but i've had many a scare in that car. it was my first car (at 19) and still have it. now its waiting for a chop, stretch, nose job, 6 spd, and twin turbo D.I. 3.6vvt (caddi block)

^ that sounds like a fun car!

[4PistonFury]

Yeah, I'm keeping the seats. They saved me. As for knowing better- yeah, I really did. I just wanted to shed some quick weight. I was planning on putting the batt in the back and doing some other things to balance it but just never got around to it. AND THANK YOU av8ter!! Everyone say that the Miata is girls car. Then I say that this girls car could demolish any other stock car under 30k on a road corse.
