Jay Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Took the other half out for a drink last night (i was on lemonade...) and met up with a few mates that wanted to go out for a blast in the Supe. It had been raining most of the evening, and as I left the pub car park I could see it was real greasy so forewarned the lads I wasn't going to do anything silly in those conditions. I found a nice big main road that has a bit of a right-hand sweep opening into a nice straight road and noticed that the road was really glistening. Got half way through saying to one of my passengers "look at the state of the road.." when she just stepped out completely mid-bend catching me by suprise. Fortunately I had stuck to my word and not done anything silly, so I was only doing 50-60 at the time, but it was enough of a warning to not continue with playtime for that evening. My rears are looking a little sorry for themselves, so i'll be getting them sorted today, just thought i'd post up in the hope someone reads this and takes heed. Might invest in RLTC now, having experienced first hand how easily they go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Are you still on Jap rubber? If so change it Glad you did what you did, it'll take a while to learn how the car handles and it will be different to your saxo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Hi Jay, Sure gets your attention doesn't it? I'm glad you caught it mate. We'd all be gutted if you'd damaged that particular car. As Bobbeh said, get some decent rubber on her A.S.A.F.P. Maybe have a word with the Vortex guys about RLTC - they were doing some great prices recently.

Syed Shah Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 I advise you to spend a few early mornings in the wet learning the car, otherwise you may not be so lucky in the future, winter has only just begun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul mac Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 of all the things i've bought for the supe, which probably adds up to about £5000 of stuff i have to say the RLTC is the best mod i have made, it gives you so much more confidence in pushing the car, full throttle power oversteer out of a corner is sooooooooo much fun (and your mates will think your michael shumacher) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
