Guest mercurysteve Guests Posted 10/06/05 12:38 AM Share Posted 10/06/05 12:38 AM That sucks mate At least everyone is alright and uninjured, can always replace a car mate Q. What if your insurance finds that the car has been edited? Did you tell em? maybe worth a visit to the car and returning it to stock if it will accept it.Also, so what car is next? another T in 6 speed auto style, something else?

I covered 4 lanes in all and missed everything ending up in a turning lane on the opposing traffic side after sliding through an opening in the median strip ..... that fine line again as mentioned by others .... let this be a lesson/warning for everyone .... it all happens in a blink of an eye glad to hear you are OK which is the main thing Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/18150-wrote-off-my-t-this-morning/page/5/#findComment-261647 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear however you are ok. Cars are replaceable, people are not.Like the other guys running big power when I was over 300rwkw I was very cautious in the dry let alone in the wet.Wet weather meant a couple of things, traction ON drive like a baby. Acclerate slowly and don't be in a rush. My suggestion would be to fit snow chains in the wet, that should solve the problem.....

asromanut Member 50 Member For: 21y 11m 15d Location: Melbourne Posted 10/06/05 02:39 AM Share Posted 10/06/05 02:39 AM Jesus, is this fate or what...I did the exact same thing this morning on the tullamarine freeway at about 6:15am..My car is completely f*cked from the back end, total write off. I was entering the freeway at about 90 in third gear and sped up 2 get ahead of a truck that was goin a bit faster. next thin I knew when I hit 300rpm the back end kicked out spun in front of the truck then kept spinning another 3 time b4 I cannoned into the wall at about 100kmh.. I completely sh*t myself and I think I blacked out for a few seconds when I hit the wall, then I came to a complete stop just near the emergency lane.. 3 cars stopped and came over 2 see if I was ok.. well I think I am! just a sore neck now from whiplash.. within minutes my uncle was there 2 goin 2 work aswell as the police, ambulance and fire brigade.. the citylink patrol truck also rocked up.. anyways at home now least I didnt have 2 go in2 work and im deciding what I should get when the insurunce pays me out.. police took my details but no statement so I dont think im going 2 get charged.. im just thankful im ok and nobody else got hurt.. well there goes my 5 speed xr6t with an apsphase2 kit down the drain.. I supponse I can scanvenge the unchip and maybe the fuelpump and the injectors.. as far as the exaust.. it was pushed up in2 the rear passenger compartment.. I would just like 2 add for all u young blokes out there that are thinking of buying a highpowered car such an xr6t or similar.. just be careful im only 24 and today I thoght I was going 2 dieregardsMark Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/18150-wrote-off-my-t-this-morning/page/5/#findComment-261657 Share on other sites More sharing options...
