[Spiderman]

WHats the dumbest or worst thing uve done to your car than that u regreted later ?

I go first, about 2 years ago i went to port stephens and on the way back the girls wanted to go to nelson bay but it had been raining and there where HEAPS of pot holes and i mean big ones, but i thought stuff it so i started, i tryed to avoid them but then about 1km up the road it jsut became impossobile to avoid them and i was going about 40 and i hit one real hard and the front bumper almost came off, and then did a u-turn to go back and hit another 10-15 and each time just a loud thump almsot got stuck 4 times.

THe end damage , front suspension was finished had to repalce it, front left tyre got ripped and front bumper ended up in the boot! overall damage $2400

NEVER AGAIN

I used cheap brake fluid at my first track day which boiled after the first session, but I wasn't smart enough to realise this and kept doing laps until my brake pedal sunk to the floor. Its taken around 8mths to have the problem fixed and around $3,000 worth of fixing/upgrades.

Its all good though, I learnt heaps, I did some major upgrades which -should- prevent this from every happening again whilst improving my car dramatically (on the track).

i got a dodgey mechanic to check the car before I bought it. So far it's cost me $1,500 in getting it up to scratch (replace clutch cylinders, gaskets, power steering pump, right front boot plus a few others I can't remember now).

After watching RH9 on the dyno spin up 400+kw @ wheels, and a lot of teasing by the GTR crew at CRD, I did a 2 minute burnout in my 280rwkw GTS-t whilst it was being filmed...

More smoke than you could ever imagine, I even melted the asphalt under both tyres. Cost me about $200 in semi slick tyres (18" Dunlop D01Js), only to have the video accidentally filmed over later, and I never got to see it

in the 180sx... tailhappy.... no more drivers side rear 1/4 panel...

'nuff said.

[Pekatu]

following to close behind a truck on the highway at night in my Audi A4, didn't see the huge pothole, buckled both front rims (17" MOMO), and broke the front left lower control arm, (it was a fun drive the rest of the way home!!!)

[GTR R35]

Drove my 98 GSR Lancer on the beach at pt. Maquarie and got bogged right on the water line. managed to get a tow, once the car was hooked up a large wave broke over the car and it started to float out to sea with me in it. Luckly the tow chain stopped me going to sea. Hosed about 100kg of sand out of it and the only damage was a buggered idler pully bearing (was burried in the sand) and a shattered windscreen on the tow vehicle (passanger head hit)

I kept the car for another 2 years after that. The funnies thing is everytime the thermo fan kicked in and the bonnet was up, sand would fly....I must have washed, gerni'ed and hosed that car 1000's of times, but sand was everywhere....

I have learnt 4wd is not 4 x 4......:-)

Racing a stolen Liberty RS in Ryde, which ended up being chased by cops (after the little sprint) for the next 2hrs to somewhere out west. Never got busted for racing! Heard about it in the papers the next day. Absolutely crazy thinking i got busted for racing, with 3 x highway patrols on the guys tail, he just kept going!
