I've been toying with this corner out behind my Nissan dealership for a few weeks now. Everyday I've been taking it harder and harder. Get up to around 50-60ish e-brake force the rear out, down shift and cominstate the understeer with heavy throttle and pull the car back under my control, basic FF style cornering. This last time I pushed her up to about 65ish mph and took the corner, as I was coming out of the slide I guess their were some really bad gravel that had been poored onto the road, front end started sliding for the turn and I didn't have time to compinsate. bout 60 mph into a ditch, car flips up about 70 degrees on it's side, and I see steam coming out from the hood, which I THOUGHT was smoke, luckly it was just some water in the ditch and my exhuast being submerged in it, hehe.



I'm completely fine, and aside from a slightly condinsating fuel line, which as stopped now, the rear part of the bumper coming off and needing to be re-mounted, the car is COMPLETELY fine, and runs just as strong as it did before.



I'm gonna go ahead and run a new fuel line and lift it up tonight at Nissan to double check everything more miticuously ( where I may soon be getting a job https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR )



Anyways yeah, I'm lucky and once I get my other s20 powered Nissan, AND if I can ever quit messing stuff up so I can get my 7, I'm gonna go back and take that bloody corner. =p



I'll post some pictures in a bit.
