martini Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 B0ll0cks!!!! Its amazing how much 'oil' and 'diesel' there is on roundabouts these days!! I was driving up the A1 a few days back and was shocked how much spillage was on the roads - pretty much all of it was on roundabouts too. Granted it's a well-heeled excuse for twatting a car, but there's probably a sliver of truth in there somewhere. In this case, I'm doubting it massively!!! Count me in with the doubters! Though I also don't doubt that there is indeed a lot of shit on the UK roads (I'd eat my dinner off most roads in Japan, however...), I never once had the back step out. Yes, it was an NA and yes, I drive like an old woman, but I really think that it's driver error here. I only ever read about these "oil spills" on sports car forums, usually with relatively new drivers or friends of friends... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I also don't doubt that there is indeed a lot of $#@! on the UK roads (I'd eat my dinner off most roads in Japan, however...), I never once had the back step out. Yes, it was an NA and yes, I drive like an old woman, but I really think that it's driver error here. I only ever read about these "oil spills" on sports car forums, usually with relatively new drivers or friends of friends... Indeed! And this was on a mini roundabout! I remember when I 'lost' my back-end on a mini roundabout and broke a wheel and that was because it was MY FAULT! It's called taking responsibility for your actions, something that this society is less and less inclined to do. OP - your brother should grow a pair, man up and accept that he buried the throttle, lost control and managed to knacker 2 wheels and a load of suspension bits because of it and you need to grow a pair, tell him so and get him to pay for it. He didn't care because it wasn't his car. You need some speed on a MINI roundabout to do that much damage.

sdistc Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Am going to add my 2 cents here... I am driving my own car (aggressively tuned "low boost" 600hp at 20 psi on pretty bald & hard rear 295 tyres from when I left Aus in 2009) and it was bucketing down rain here in Canberra - where it is renowned for being greasy when it rains. I turned an off-camber and inclined (i.e. hill) corner in 2nd gear at about 25 mph and felt the back end slide. I got out of the throttle progressively and it straightened out. That was it. No wreck, no spin, no tears. Just a reminder to watch my speed and steering inputs. Ellis is 100% right. Don't let your brother walk away from paying the bills.

Josh Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 A few months ago there were a few cars spinning out of control on a corner by my mum's office and also a motorcyclist that slid off his bike into the railings injuring himself. Someone said there was diesel in the road and after checking CCTV of the night before, there were a few people that pulled up in jap cars, spilt diesel all over the road and were drifting round the corner in the middle of the night. I very much doubt it was done on purpose in this instance but just saying it can happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martini Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Didn't mean to sound negative; I hope it's a quick, painless and not too expensive repair! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I'd be having a serious good look at the hub where these parts fit, infact i think i'd be buying a new one or at least a second hand one from Keron perhaps. Its a casting and can suffer from invisible cracks which could fail, the consequenses don't bare thinking about. Especially where the track control arm fits.

shaz2010 Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 thanks martini i hope so too. yeah dnk i think it might have bent the hub where your talking about, the both are a bit pushed in towards the disk so that will more than likely to be changed just waiting on some prices from keron for them ..

Dnk Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I wouldnt drive it anywhere until the hub was replaced, if it lets go then you could have a right mess on your hands let alone risking having a major accident Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
