How does this sort of thing happen.. I dont even think it will let me go into 2nd at that speed. unless i FORCE it in.
Plus the fact that his car is wrong wheel drive... they locked up.. and he couldnt steer.

LMAO, his ricemobile has a "baby on board" suction thingy.
and its got four doors.
and it's got different size, tread, tread stickiness, tires on the front and back.
and he broke his shifter, then rethreaded it.
and its crap.
what a good race car.

what a moron flipping through the threads i found his post explaining to all the uninformed members exactly what heppened making his car lose control:
"okay guys, i found out what REALLY happend.
U know how theres a max MPH u get in each gear? Well when u redline one gear (3rd in my case) and i accidentally downshifted into second (cheap short shifter that failed me many times, but its still driver error) the MPH my car was already at was wayy higher then a MAX MPH for 2nd gear, so when u downshift, the motor in a way "Brakes" your front tires, sorta like how ur cruising and u can downshift to slow ur car down instead of pressing the brakes.
So therefore, redlining 3rd gear, maxing out 3rd gears MAX MPH. Then downshifting into second, my motor would bring my front tires to the MAX MPH of second gear, so slowing down tire rotation regardless of my current vehicle speed, causing me to break traction and spin out of control... "
wow is this a honda forum thing or is this guy just dumb, i cant belive there are people like this racing when they dont even know what the hells going on with their car

Max HP in 3rd gear eh? I guess hondas with 100 more hp than his car always have the same problem as he does, since having more hp would mean youd hit the MAX HP in less time!? I guess my friend with his H22 swap civic si is on his like 4th engine already because of it!
OMG I REACHED MAX HP!!! OMG!!!
