Fucked, gutting mate

 

[YA55ER]

gutting, when i was 17 back end came out on my 106 i just planted it n it came back in like said above proberly would of come back in if you took your foot off the brake, i know how gutting it is to have your pride n joy minced some b**ch did it to me at christmas of all times lol, car wasnt anywere near as bad as yours but it was for me if you get what im saying

yeah i get what your saying mate

Blimey! Glad you are ok.

thanks mate

Ouch!!

I crashed my car when i first passed my test tbh it's part and parcel for most people!

Like you say, your glad nothing fatal happened. Cars can be replaced ...

You going to look at getting another clio or..?

dont know if im going to get another clio.. want to see were i stand after its all done

 

[Barron]

best way to gain experience quickly is to do either a track day or driving experience day.

im only 19 and done 4 track days so far. Each one has taught me different things about car control and what to do if things dont go wrong lol. In my second track day i spun off at Croft at 90mph backwards, i did everything wrong in my efforts to try and correct it but now i know what to do if it steps out.

Dont get me wrong im still a s**t and unexperienced driver (only been driving 2 years) but every little helps.

but unlucky mate and im glad nobody was hurt. Live and learn

 

[Whiteley]

im well gutted.. if i do get another clio getting a different coloured one, dont think green was my lucky colour

 

[Jonophonics]

Greens immense!

 

[Evil Ally]

Unlucky fella, at least nobody was hurt. Generally speaking, it's a bad idea to step on the brakes on a corner, especially at 40-50mph in the wet!

 

[Kiev85]

onwards and upwards

1*2 next?

tbh i hope not...

hope your okay after your accident....but i wouldnt be in any hurry for a larger more powerfull car...

 

[seb]

tbh i hope not...

hope your okay after your accident....but i wouldnt be in any hurry for a larger more powerfull car...

im not going to get a more powerful faster car anytime soon, just want to get another small car

that looks pretty mashed tbh.

[mark_182_54]

feel for ya fella

 

[Curley]

dibs on the mirror caps?

 

[mark smith87]

Bad luck mate. I know you're still quite young and havent got the experience but time will come when you will learn to read the road conditions and how they change with the weather. Dont try and brake hard going into a corner, all you will do is unbalance the car and throw it off line. Get all the braking done while the car is approaching the corner and get yourself set up in the correct gear to power the car through the corner safely. If you feel the car start to slide lift your feet off the pedals and let the engine help to brake your speed . Try and opposite lock the steering to correct the slide if the rear steps out.
As someone else suggested, try and get some time on a track with an instructor who will show you exactly what to do to make your driving smoother and safer as well as how to drive fast safely. Its all about having a feel for what the car is telling you and keeping everything smooth and balanced.
Renault Clio's are a superb handling car with decent tyres and a good suspension set up.
Unfortunately, carrying a sub woofer in the boot will make the rear end a fair bit heavier and will act a bit like a pendulum, encouraging the tail to step out if driven too hard into a bend.
