imi Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 always best to get your alignment checked, your tyres checked and your tyre pressures checked. If you still get the back end out unintentionally, then ease off the power too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonB Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Generally, assuming you are accelerating you should ease off the power and counter steer. Don't jump off the accelerator completely or brake, as that will transfer weight forwards and give you even less rear grip. Be ready to steer back the other way again as soon as you begin to regain rear grip or you will fishtail. If you were braking and the rear came out (unlikely with ABS) you should ease off the brakes to allow weight to transfer rearwards and give you more rear grip.

imi Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 if you get the back-end out.....steer in the opposite direction and you should be able to pull it back in (obviously depends how much you have got it out and how quick you are on the wheel) if you cant manage that.....then, buy a punto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daston Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 If you are worried about comming off the throttal too much you can always just put the clutch in, this disengaged the engine from the transmission and you wont get any engine breaking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 I'm with JamieP... Bang the clutch and hit the power, teeny bit of opposite steer and let the ride.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Go to an Asda or a Tesco car park on a Sunday evening, best when wet and try to lose control of the car!! Will become second nature!! Oh but don't crash into those trolley collection bus stop type things........ H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchan Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Oh but don't crash into those trolley collection bus stop type things........ Or the kerbs! There's a lot of them in the car parks round here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Or the kerbs! There's a lot of them in the car parks round here. Wherever he is, there must be loads of places you can try to lose control of the car without doing any real damage!! I did most of my pi$$ing about on Asda especially when it was icy or even better with snow! H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchan Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I remember once turning up in a Tescos car park when the store was shut. There was about 12 of us in 4 cars. One lad was ill and promptly jumped out and threw his guts up everywhere. Within about 30 seconds of us pulling up, some jumped up security guard came charging over in a Chavalier or something, shouting at us to "not hold boy racer meets in his car park". We were in several unmodified cars - a Punto, Corsa, 306 and a Seat Alhambra!! Fair plays if you can get away with it, but that experience kinda put me off going to superstore car parks to try anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colsoop Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Don't forget after you have caught the slide (by applying the oopsite lock) to take off the lock or you will probably go the opposite way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
