Ok, In ALL my previous cars I could pull the reverse 180 manuver No Problem. Now, I can't seem to do it in my celica. Is it because My Center of Gravity is so much lower? I am extremely puzzled. So, can anyone else do it in a celi?

its a reverse j turn for one... momentum has to deal with not being able to do one fwd/rwd doesn't have much to do with it
to destroy your car you would have to get to a good speed in revrse start turning the wheel back and forth a lil till the car starts to turn those ways by itself slam the wheel in one directionhit the gas while pulling the ebrake when you get 90degres from orginal spot get it in to first but keep the clutch in start turning the wheel to the other direction let the ebrake go by this time you should be getting close to straight again then drop the clutch
cars that have better grip require more speed to break loose (narf)
hey thats a 20 minute phone call "if i have seen farther it is by standing on the shoulders of giants" derek: do you know that non dairy cream is flamable Jennie: ...derek..what did you do

Yes, I know how to do it... I just can't in the celica. As I said before, I could do it in ALL of my previous cars and actually all of my friends cars. For some reason, I can't get the celica to swing all the way around...
clutch trasnmison brakes power steering pump where out the wheel bearings real quick
like i said you jsut need more speed then there numbnuts

that shit had me laughing, I never thought of doing that in a celi...I'd love to see it. You gotta get someone to video you trying, that'd be some funny shit.
Try it in the rain on a mountain with no gaurd rails
just kiddin
LOL!
No seriously, In all my other cars I was really, really good at it. I could do it in cramped parking lots right into open spaces and stuff...but for SOME DAMN REASON IT WILL NOT WORK WITH THE CELICA!!!!!! ARGHHHHHH
why would you want to do a 180 in your celica asking for a mechanic bill or a parts bill if you ask me. hey whatever floats your boat i like to go staright real fast leave the 180's the movies. peace!!!!!! i'm out
Winter on the otherhand is a whole new story. I had a rental Sunfire (cause my car burnt) over the holidays & I took it to the Zeller's parking lot for a little fun.
Using a dip the parking lot, you can catch about a half foot of air. So I started from one end & got as much speed as possible, turned hard left & pulled the parking brake. The car was a little over 180 into the spin going backwards when I left the ground & continued to rotate & landed. It was an awesome feeling. I have a buddy who's a stunt driver for the movies, I took him out a few times for a ride & he thinks I'm nuts.
The winter is where you really learn to drive. Anything you can do on snow, you can do on pavement, just gotta watch you don't break your little Celica. They aren't exactly tough cars.
why would you want to do that in the celica? that just seems like a really good way to impose damage
It is real fun! I have always been interested in "stunt" driving. In a front wheel drive car, there is really not a lot of stuff we can do...other than hand brake turns... 360 spins.(VERY difficult by the way).
I just love to have fun in my car. If it ends up braking something...then I guess I will pay for it. Oh, and i will video tape myself foing it...I just have NO IDEA how to host it...what format to do it in...blah blah blah.
buy yourself a cheapo beater type for doing shit like that in!! rear wheel drive is loads of fun for that, I had my old beemer up to all kinds of tricks, especially in the snow unfortunately I sold it to a friend of mine who had never had a RWD car and he went straight out and spun it on a roundabout.. guess you don't have those in the states tho
^^ actually, I'm starting to see a few of those being put up around here. The problem is people don't have a clue what to do when they get to one, how to signal, etc.
BTW I watched a show on the Secret Service. They have to learn how to do J-turns in all types of cars, including the presidential limo It was pretty cool to watch.

If you have an automatic, its real badass to go like hell in reverse & then sudenly crank the wheel & hit the throttle. Half way through the spin, crank the wheel back & back into drive & throttle again. I've done it on wet pavement, never dry because the poor Celi would probably bend or break.
Doing a full 360 & catching it just right & having enough forward momentum to keep going in the direction you started is cool. On wet pavement its possible, but very difficult. I landed it once & it took maybe 5 tries & a lot of speed.
Like he said, buy yourself a beater. I had a Pontiac 6000 FWD & mad did that thing take a beating. I had a bet with a buddy that has a Chevy 4X4, who could make it up this big hill faster. It was washed out, big ruts, rocks & all kinds of crap. I went into the hill flying, bouncing & I made it up so fast that I caught air when I hit the edge of the pavement at the road on top. He got stuck twice on the way up & took at least twice as long. That Pontiac cost me $600 & beat on it for 50,000 miles before I sold it for $200.

just play with the weight. learn how to shift the weight around and youll be spinning in no time. but take it from experiense i hope you have deep pocket s
