Dodgy_Haro Forums Junkie Location: Brisbane Registered: July 2002	Re: worst spin!! Wed, 01 October 2003 23:20 I experienced it first hand last Friday nite in Brizzy after a lot of rain. Was following behind a later model Mazda 323 through a slow 90 degree right turn outside the PA Hospital. The car in front accelerated out so I tried to keep up with it. Was powering out of the corner from about 20 kph going up to 40 when the rear just slipped out on the road which was still wet and with plenty of fallen leaves. Before I knew it, I was on full opposite lock trying to keep the car straight. Didn't correct in time so before I knew it, the car severely whip lashed itself the other way and I was fish tailing up the road. Found myself careening straight towards the gutter head on where other cars were parked stationery. I freaked myself out as I was already thinking that I was gonna hit those cars and was resigned to impact. Dunno how it happened but somehow the car regained its traction and I pulled away safely from the cars. I was still shaking but glad to have made it out safely. Certainly no laughing matter for me and a serious lesson that even the rear can get itself out in the wet when travelling moderately slow. It's not down to poor tyres as mine have a lot of good thread on them. I am now very wary about the wet and have stopped being gung-ho when cornering hard in wet conditions. Always though the tyres could maintain their grip in the wet but I guess an AE86 is so light that unlike heavier RWD cars, they have a tendency to spin easier. Hmmmm ... respect for FR cars in the wet is my theme now. What eggs me most is that the FWD Mazda in front powered out like it was nothing and I thought I could follow it but obviously physics is physics. [Report message to a moderator]
