I doubt weights will do anything. Our motors are in the front and so is the tranny. So most of the weight is focused in the front of the car.

Haha, I remember one time I was driveing In Pollock Pine's, It was winter, but no snow yet, and I was takeing this left, It was a wide left turn a little long too, Im rockin out to the music, Then, my 6gc just spins out, Now Im going side's down this turn, one side there a ditch, on the other...a cliff...Im trying to correct the turn and I look to the right...Two vans are comeing....."F@$!" Im gonna die!" I thought to myself, Then, the tire's caught and I rolled backward's Into the ditch, just In time. I was hella shakeing, I started her up again, and pulled out of the ditch and Into a flat area. Left her running got out of the car, still hella shakeing, lit a cigarette, and just looked at her. Man, that was some crazy **** that day. This post has been edited by 94CelicaDragon: Dec 5, 2007 - 6:36 PM |

just something that i taught about
all the weight is on the front, so when you clinb a hill ,no more enough power to the front wheels, so why dont you clinb it in reverse? all the weight will be on the front (now rear)wheels and same with the power? and if you start goinmg bacwards, youl be on the right way to take over the control again hoppinmg being usefull(only if youre driving a fwd celi) This post has been edited by zoik: Dec 26, 2007 - 9:01 AM |

Get a couple of friends to sit on the bonnet just above the front wheels, and drive slow, that might help a bit
