After 2 months of owning my ZX TT i have crashed it :( I went into a roundabout almost in a straight line with a little steering and then i went downhill on a road that veered right. I think i pumped the throttle before the car was totally straight and made a snap steer that was too aggressive. The back end flew out and span the car round. I did a sort of controlled crash into the left barriers on the dual carriage way.

 

 

 

The right corner took the brunt of the crash. Needs a new front spoiler, right wing and right intercooler. I drove it around some side streets for 40 mins before going to the airport to catch a flight. Car seems ok apart from the shot intercooler. I will remove a electrical connection from an air thingy under the front 'Z' panel so the engine wont be erratic.

 

I feel such a twat. I still love my ZX but i feel like i dont deserve it now.

Drivers who saw it will say 'saw this asshole crash a 300zx'. *****cks :headvswal

 

In the future - NO CRAZY SHIT ON WET BENDS NO MATTER HOW SLIGHT THE BEND!

Unlucky mate :( Would appear apart from the intercooler all of the damage is superficial, which is lucky. Have a look in the for sale section and also look at the trader's section for an intercooler. And it is also a perfect excuse for a new aftermarket front end ;)

Sorry to see...although you could always see it as an opportunity for Aftermarket front bumper and uprated intercoolers

:x: Oops i had near miss on sunday in mine :x:

take my advise - fit RLTC!! :D

I have 245 tyres all round on my ZX and some dude said that 245 tyres on the front are not really a good thing. I get the feeling sometimes that my steering is not responsive and the front wheels sort of drag\rub on the road with sharper steering when i am tootling around up to 40mph.

 

Thing is i could really do with taking my ZX on a track (with run off areas!) to get a feel for it. And try not to weld my brake pads to the discs as Mr Chunk did once hehe.

 

Mind you my mate has a '70's Porsche 911 and he says that is a deathtrap on wheels. He wont sell it to anyone else, he wants to scrap it instead lol.

245 are too wide for the front I think.

225 are about the best width.

i was gonna say i have a pair of intercooler too lying around, and i'll be at east mids airport on the 24th

really sorry to hear that scott :(

 

i almost wrote mine off on the first day i got it insured :(

 

i think every1 on here has had near misses, its a shame that urs wernt :(

 

like i said on the phone m8

 

learn from it, get the car fixed and enjoy it again!

 

:)

sorry to hear that bud.......my back end went out of control today.....but er i was posing :( ..........

sorry to hear this mate, and the best news is youre uninjured. looks like the Z could have had a much worse time of it too. message to all: drive carefully, especially in Zs!

That is bad news mate but the roads are lethal at the mo. When i went to change my plates in worcester i took the m5 and no probs going down but i decided on "A" roads back for a bit more of a challenge and thats what i got !!! every old git i came across was going so slow i had to drop it into 2nd gear and all my car was doin was steppin sideways i just could not get traction !!! i gave it a blast down the m5 last night and it was slippery as fook and that was in a straight line !! FELLOW ZEDDERS BE CAREFUL !!

what about the rear?
