Lost control of my car last night in the wet!!!!!!

Post Thu Jul 17, 2014 9:19 am

I was driving straight on the dual carriage way and the rear just swung out, tried getting back in control after a few attempts managed to take control after hitting the kerb, managed to save the car but damaged my wheel!!!!!
and its not going to be easy to find one its a Borbet B 9J.......
So please if there is anyone out there who can help me locate one please pm or text/ring me on 07960 053096.

I have posted on the wanted section too.
Many thanks.

Sounds worrying that the car just swung out whilst driving straight. What do might have caused that?

Post Thu Jul 17, 2014 9:30 am

9j wheels LOL

Front or rear?

Front,check the outer balljoint and strut.

Rear,check the trailing arm.

I did put my foot down and but strongly believe there was oil or diesel spillage on the road........

It was the rear, haven't checked anything and not really worried as everything else can be sourced easily but the wheel is the main concern for me.........

all this talk of how brutal e30s are in the wet, I've never had any problems with mine.

Post Thu Jul 17, 2014 9:04 pm

I had this when i had to change from my toyo's due to roundabout style bold spots. changed to falkens and they are rubbish in the wet because of such a hard compound.

Maybe now would be a good opportunity to put some proper wheels/tyres on the car?

And you think that would wash with your insurance company? Think yourself lucky you didn't do any serious third party damage and end up paying out for the rest of your life after your insurer voids your policy.
