WHERES THE KILL SWITCH!!!!!!!!!! like hes fkin deaf from the accident after he says "im alright"

[theprgamer]

Does anybody know the 911 number? Anybody?

[Jacksonkellyfreak]

mr2s are evil. at least mine seems to be. Ive tried and tried to set it up so it isnt so tail happy, and it still wants to spin. everybody says that its not the setup its the need for driving school, i say bullshit. i went to driving school and still have a hell of a time w an mr2 vs any other mid engine. i even drove a friends porsche and didnt have any problems

[TheCaboose36]

@Jacksonkellyfreak what year is your car?

[Jacksonkellyfreak]

@TheCaboose36 91 turbo. stock except for a blow off valve

[tomshobbycollectible]

@Jacksonkellyfreak you need a sway bar and better tire. and what year is your mr2? if is a 91.. had no l.s.d. if 92 and 93 has l.s.d. and 94 to 96 come with both l.s.d and sway bar.

[clarifaco]

THAT'S WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU HAVE MOTOR IN THE REAR (CENTRE) AND A SHORT CHASSIS. IT MAKES THE REAR VERYYYYY HAPPY

[Johnsmith947]

It was the sun, I swear!!

[TheScientist0000000]

How'd they get there so quick?

[rangerjavi]

sell it as is.

[LestatThirteen]

Go ahead, ask him again where the kill switch is. He didn't hear you the first 12 times...........

[tlesiak91]

"NOTE TO SELF, REMEMBER WHERE KILL SWITCH IS BEFORE RACING"

[surfqld]

@SUFIx310 if they don't find the kill switch the car could blow up at any second killing the driver and anyone near the vehicle.

[mrlilmikey]

Glad you're ok! Sorry about your car. At least you're living it up and doing something a lot of people aren't lucky enough to do! Peace.

[onefastang50]

great video! Good ol' Reading PA.... Duryea hill climb. I usually sit on turn 3 alot of close calls there. Good luck next time bro! Have fun!!!!

[cavemangib]

just buy good wide tires and you wont have that problem ive got 3 mr2 turbos

[hofme123]

If you watch the video closely you can see that he hit the curb on the left, thus unsettling the suspension causing the car to lose traction.

BTW - This is the most dangerous turn and it has a name... "OH-SHIT!"

He wasn't the first and he wasn't the last

[efabio]

@hofme123 You are absolutely right. Watch the other vid of the review of what happened. Cool that you noticed. Part of that I atrtibute to the low sun/strob effect through the trees, missing the apex by abour a half an inch. Touching the curb/rock/apex for about 15". The RR was loose like on black ice.

[LordFabs]

nub should have floored it the second he started fishtailing so he wouldn't have driven straight into the dirt

[h4s5g9]

i think he a still a good driver he did it at the track and driver better than most driver in the street that can't handle mr2 RWD

[TSpark1986]

rather than the FWD MR2... lol. Sorry but by the earlier slide the driver could barely handle, it was gunna be a smash

[whiteynator]

how did he crash? I mean he wasn't at a great angle when his rear just lost the traction and came sliding... can anyone explain it to me please?

[lfk156]

he caught the dirt on the left side and probably hit the brakes when it started to slide mr2's are very unstable cars but if you have ever been doing 80+ on road and hit the dirt with either right or left tyres you will know what im talking about hope i helped mate

[whiteynator]

aye mate I thought of something like that but it still seemed weird and unlikely to me. Anyhow thanks for clearing it up!

[BanditOMG]

They're actually not unstable cars at all. The only issue they have is snap oversteer, and that was solved with a wider wheelbase. They're designed for stability on the track.

Not bad drift cars either.

[vfIskullangel]

Damn even the tree go in the car!.

[bocky]

really shows how unstable mr2's can be during hard braking.. the car was flying along that straight!!! must of been shit scary getting the driver out car leaking fuel and the engine still going :/

[ebouwman034]

Unstable braking around a corner yes. To reply to your post that apparently got removed, I own an mr2, and drove it all winter, and when i say that it's only dumb ass drivers that spin out at low speeds i said it because i know.

First time my car started to spin was going AT LEAST 65 kph and was TOTALLY unexpected, and i STILL saved it, and i'm 19 btw. And i made the mistake of letting off the gas, and still managed alright. So in my books anyone who spins round at low speed is a retard driver.

[Seany06]

This.. I got my MR2 the other week and was cautious due to hearing of the backend always going out.

But it hasn't gone out even once, there again, I don't drive like an Idiot.. and it's an NA.

Bad crash though, atleast the driver is ok.

[alucard376]

MKII's have some pretty bad snap oversteer. He's a pretty good driver though otherwise. Glad he's alright.

[ebouwman034]

well i think it's because you can see how fast it happens in this vid. Most of the mid engine car spins are really slow spins, at low speed, and are really just dumb ass drivers having never entered spin, and especially never in a mid engine car.

You can really see where the ditch almost grabbed and pulled him in, too bad.

I also have to admit that i'm pretty well one of those kids who learned rally driving from a video game, although, not really a kid anymore

[MagicLewisForever]

Somebody KILL THAT KILL SWITH ARRRRRR (If you can find it) PMSL ROFL LMAO

[MagicLewisForever]

This guy should have bought a Mk1!! I'm glad he's ok.

[irvine120382]

still no joy on the kill switch  roflmao

[civicmike01]

Shit mate, hope you walked away ok. Shame about the mr2 aswell it was a good drive until the crash. Even the best drivers in the world cant recover from that sort of thing keep it up mate.

[PaulinhoThompson]

Just before the left hander the car appears to either bottom out or suffer a flat..

[sherwie]

wheres the fuckin kill switch !!?

[Awsomedude137]

wow he's lucky. I live close to this event and there's practically a cliff at the edge of most of those hairpin turns

[Awsomedude137]

then you would become part of the tree he almost hit

[slickray9402]

well if he cant find their kill switch after that kind of accident then the car might explode into fumes especially with the high octane race fuel. The "killswitch" actually saved this guy, on 1:52 "its dripping gas..." seconds to destruction.

[Gruelius]

short wheelbase for a rwd car makes it snap oversteer like that a bit more.

im still getting a MR2 tho :D

[1000devils]

did they ever find the killswitch??

[darthdvd]

lift off oversteer?

[shroomies69]

wow really bud, how the hell are you still alive in the first place with ideas like that... hah

[IAmUndersteer]

Anyone else notice he turns the wiper blades on just before the car gets DESTROYED? Yeah. And they still work.

[sickwidit951]

"IT'S DRIPPIN GAS..." I don't care for that guy's tone.

[eldwaldopinches]

im gunna ask one more time... "Were's the kill switch?"

haha

[Kachopsticks]

that sucks so bad

[asimtrojan]

no looks like it fish tailed. The line was okay but for earlier MkII MR2s this behavior is not uncommon.

[RevArto]

hahahaha I love it.. the first thing the guy says while running up to the car is "wheres your kill switch?" and with out being asked, the guy says "im alright" poor guy..

[johnnyny516]

they want to turn the car off so it doesnt catch fire and explode.. thats prett miportant if u ask me...

[ironcouch57]

"He can't turn it of" LOL!!!!!

[cutechick86]

"Wheres your kill switch?"

hahahahahaha

[emmajane]

if it's the turbo it probably had one of those autotimer turbo protect things that stops you from cutting the engine straight away

[behopp]

one more time.... wheres your kill switch

[smillar98]

It's harder to find now. When I installed the kill switch the car was right-side up.

[scottrevss]

Has anyone seen the kill switch

[ccommie]

lmao, wheres the kill switch

[Is200Innit]

WHERES THAT KILL SWITCH

[ismashfaces]

It's drippin' gaaaaass.

Sorry for the loss of the car. Glad everyone is ok.
