In the first pic, the tyre looks as bald as Harry Hill!
One bent rear beam FTL!
no wasnt a handbrake turn , i was on my way home from my girlfriends house and was going too quick came too a tight corner and understeered and away it went slid into on comeing traffic and up a kerb , im just happy i didnt hit anyone else or flip the car .
only yourself to blame then
no wounder it under steered! Get some new tyres mate
Understeer did that? :wtf:
Looks more like oversteer to me - rear wheel being hit on the side, i.e. oversteer
More than likely to have hit the front wheel if it was understeer, unless he tryed to correct it and the car found grip and that spun him around?Quote:

same happened to novalad(tom)on here not so long back!im thinking new rear beam suspension and wheel.
u wanna make sure it hasnt bent the mounting point on the chassis. Had a corsa in the other day with same thing, probably not quite as bad and that had a bent chassis
That's what you get for tearing around with bald tyres.
I believe it's people like you who give Nova owners a bad name.
Was gonna say that doesnt look like a handbrake as the wheel was rolling when it hit the kerb hence the gouging almost all the way around the wheel, ive done similar in the past, disused part of an empty industrial estate late on a sunday night, on mac dees trays, wasnt going fast enough "drifting" round a roundabout and spun into it rather than sliding around it, one very bent stub axle dinked wheel and slightly bent beam was the result!
Costly mistake but one ive never repeated thankfully lol

And as for your snide comment, I've had quick Nova's and as many people on this site will vouch for - have driven them hard too. But I'm grown up enough to understand that driving like that on public roads or a track requires performance tyres... road legal performance tyres at a minimum!!
LMFAO You post up pics on here after you have binned your car, full well knowing that you will probably get a slating, then when you get a comment you dont like you lash out. Numpty.Quote:

What a numpty you are, go and get a fully clear picture of said tyre (it looks bald as fook to me) and we'll decide!Quote:

Have to say i do agree, ive done the self same thing (as i previously posted) and have messed about in such a way many times before, and got away with it lots of times but have never done so again after realising that its a very silly thing to be doing (handbrake turns and DLAC) (Driving Like A C***)Quote:

All i had to change was the rear axel... really easy to do aslong as you don't end up with problems with the rear drums, suspension and brake pipes!
lol
