[Nigel]

He's got to, the direction he swerves off!

 

[theathea]

wos the chances of that 'appening?

 

[rustybolt]

definately, he goes onto grass at an angle, if he pulled it back it wil have still been on grass and he'd of slid. Didnt hear a bang tho.

 

[Djw John]

be very lucky not to!

 

[deviltronics]

why he went right and not left, like me :rasp: , god knows.

thats not saying if he smashed it or not though.

i'll let this thread get to 3 pages long and will then let you know. keep guessing!

 

[Nigel]

I take it he did hit it then?? Did it receive much damage?

I suppose it's just one of those reaction type things! He was a lot closer to the car when he swerved than you were. Very lucky escape for you!

that vids yours then!

Ill make a educated guess, he hit it!

 

[Rob's172]

i'd say lucky, very lucky miss

 

[Craig]

im saying no i mean yes argh i dont know

 

[Pep]

i say yes, not enough grip on the grass to pull it back at that speed.

 

[Beef-Mc]

I'd say no, didn't appear to be going that fast.

 

[Graham Gooch]

What exhaust is that, sounds dreadful!

 

[deviltronics]

ktec stealth with decat, awesome!

 

[Graham Gooch]

must be the video then.

Sounds like a nova.

 

[john.med]

I say No.

 

[deviltronics]

must be the video then.

Sounds like a nova.

Don't insult me! Try this video:

[NOT! gary l]

I'd say a definite NO NO NO.

 

[Tighten My Nuts]

I reckon he loses his back bumper as he pulls it hard back to the left and smears it against the tyres as he spins.

 

[Clart]

that exhaust would do my swede in

 

[Fred@BTM]

no, i saw an e46 m3 do the same thing and just miss

but i've also seen a few fwd cars wollop the wall there

 

[DH_GTI]

just tell us lol !!!!

 

[AliasOmega]

tbh, i dont really care..

 

[Donz144]

He didn't hit the wall. I have to agree about your exhaust......sounds tinny or something...maybe the camera recording doesn't do it justice.

I still dont understand DE cat when you can get sports cat back systems. MOT time must be a nightmare.

 

[Martin]

dunno but it sounds like your backbox fell off

 

[jamesp24]

I dont rekon he does.

 

[polarbert]

No, if he did then there would be nothing worth all this build up.

 

[Graham Gooch]

dunno but it sounds like your backbox fell off

Glad someone agrees.

 

[Ali]

There's a fair bit of run off there...May be lucky.

 

[Henry]

i'll vote 'save'

 

[Marky_]

I reckon he made contact with it......

 

[deviltronics]

This is getting boring now!

For those of you who said he whacked the wall you were WRONG.

He actually did quite well, made the front end turn towards the track and did a nice sideways along the grass before getting back on the track. Must still of shat himself :dead:

Still don't know why he went right and not left!

 

[Day]

Seeing as it's a subaru, I'm surprised it never rallied down the grass and rejoined in front of you at clearways...

Cos it wasn't Petter Solberg behind the wheel?

Your exhaust sounds like a bunch of angry bees btw deviltronics :s

 

[deviltronics]

thats why i only use the car for trackdays, driving around town above 3000rpm is a real headturner!

its the decat that makes all the noise.

Donz144, whats the point of a sports cat, firstly they cost more, secondly your still restricting the exhaust gases. As for the MOT, it takes 30 mins to put the cat back on. So one hour on the ramp a year is hardly any hassle. In my case if you know MOT testers who can turn a blind eye, even better!

 

[Donz144]

I just think for the sake of 3-4hp and the once a year hassel sports cat is the way forward. I guess if you know someone at MOT time it helps but I move so much that I never know what garage I am going to use.

 

[Phill1978]

decatting a new car would be ok`ish as you have 3year withouth mot.

 

[deviltronics]

fair point

for those of you who think my exhaust is noisy you should hear my brakes.

 

[Wizbit]

Was obvious he would miss... once you're on the grass it's much easier to spin it the other way!

One thing though... why was not the full circuit open?

 

[deviltronics]

just national circuit and not the gp circuit.
