the oversteer one is you turning the wheel doing like 45 and it just sqeechs the tires not over steer, thats when you put too much power into your back wheels and you spin and do a 180

actually, when your back end comes out, that is what's called getting loose or fish tailing. Oversteering is like fish tailing, only you initiated it by turning the wheel excessively.

Well...like wee...it is possible that it is 7th gen speed on the Eway right now. My bad O2 sensor is KILLING my top end a ton. The bad O2 sensor is putting the PCM in safe mode, so the PCM is dumping in TONS of extra fuel, which is killing me (performance wise and milage wise) but luckily I have a new O2 sensor on the way.

I doubt that any N/A 7th gen will beat me in a drag race...mugenracerX and I duked it out for a while. The first time we raced I creamed him, the second time he got me on the eway (still couldnt get me in a drag race) *later I found out my plugs were fouled beyond belief due to the O2 sensor* and the 3rd time I put a good 2 cars on him off the line.

WHatever...my car isnt falling apart, it's doing just fine. I can put up with the shittyness of the interior, because it's a fun car to drive.

all the rest of you flamers can suck a di*k...

About being flamed, its sorta like going to a Ford site and posting your Chevy videos... flames are expected.

I guess some people just need more attention in their lives then others? Not sure..

Congrats....hauls more *** than my car. I feel ya about the crappy neon interior, but the car is quick and works for you, so enjoy it! I like the sound, too. Doesn't get too whiny IMO. The ironic thing is, most ppl don't expect neon's to act like that on the road......very surprising.

Fish tailing would be sliding the rear end back and forth. That's not a technical term either. While turning if your rear end tends to slip that's oversteer. You can easily eliminate that in a front wheel drive car by making the front sway bar larger. : )

Thanks for the positive feedback.
The reason I posted it was because I have been on this site for over a year now, so why shouldn't I be able to post about my car?

Yeah, the O2 sensor should be in next week. That *should* fix the problem. We shall see though.

I'll be the first to admit to how shitty the interior is. It's mainly the quality of the materials.

The suspension is stock. No rear sway bar even (although I have on sitting on my porch right now ready to be installed)

Next are some BBS RZ 16 x 7.5's and springs. hopefully sometime before Christmas. And to those saying that that wasn't over steer, it was indeed, not induced by yanking the wheel, but rather lifting on the throttle abruptly. It is hard to take that 90 degree corner, shift, steer, and hold the camera, while I"m staring a internation 4200 in the face [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

Pretty nice videos. The engine seems to have a nice low groan instead of the girly type squeal that mine emits...

Dayum! You guys crack on one another like kids out in the school yard. I don't understand what the problem is with you all.

If you want to crack on the neon for objective issues like reliability, quality, etc...than so be it. Leave the subjective (your opinion) out of it. The guy is just as welcome here as anyone else. Step back, pull your head out your bums and try opening your eyes for once my myopic friends.
