Hey guys, why are so many S13s crashing
is there a handling problem or driver problem
Why so many S13 crashing
I think it's the look mum no hands thing....the thing is the s13 make you think you are invinceble....but ya shame...what can I say 🙄
yes, and in the corners.... to much power too soon and eish!!!!!
driver... I've had my car for 2 years now I'm still not 100% comfortable driving the thing... I think people get a bit over confident with the car

I agree, I got too confident once, could have been the beer, nearly took out homeless people and a shop window, luckily my car can drift, or I watched too much Initial D
Will never be too confident ever again
Definately driver! The 200sx has great handling, but it seems it can snap into oversteer quite suddenly, you got 2 be ready 2 catch it and know what to do, or boom
Yeah with the massive amounts of body roll even if you catch it bringing it in straight is a art of its own, it just tank-slaps in the other direction... practice practice practice...
Yup, that pretty much sums the handling up hey. I've had a couple of tank-slapper moments... scary stuff, but yet to crash 🙂
Yet............
worst experience i've had was when I was a student with my beetle and a wet road during rush hour... In the SX one or two moments but not hair raising, only when my ABS stuffed out during a rush stop on the highway....
The Polo I'm not even gonna start, have more k@k in my pants moments than I can remember... crashed it due to inexperience, but nowa days, I keep up with G5 GTi's through circles and corners, one back wheel in the air and bob's your uncle.
I think it's called speed and sound, not speed, booz and 200SX. It doesn't mix, never....
SX DRUGS AND ROCK'nROLL!

haha you also had a beetle, I was such a expert at spinning and controlling that thing, I could drive up the union building road at high speeds spin out and finish facing the other direction in the other lane, drive down turn around and try again, those were the days 🙄
i reckon with most sx owners all it takes is one 15k accident to put that fear back in the seat of your pants!!!
since i "damaged" the palisades fence at vodacom midrand a while back, i only drive like a hooligan at wesbank.
and i reckon its best that way, specially with all these pigs out there in unmarked cars, with nifty little radar/laser speed trap thingymajiggys!!! when i drop nash off at work, there are at least 5 places in a 15km trip where they're trapping!
Speaking of unmarked cars.....that advert of the guy with the golf standing at the robot, then a guy with a modded volksvagen jetta pulling next to him, he revs the other guy revs and then when the jetta spins off he goois the blue light on the roof and starts to chace....good advice...don't dice anyone on the streets....you might be caught with a dummy written on ur forehead
