Have you ever tried going fast in reverse?

[2001 AE]

In the late 80's when in college my buddies and I would get in his car and he would drive backwards down the street just for kicks. It was hilarious to see the looks on peoples faces as we were backing down the street. The excursions would only last about a quarter mile and we never got caught by the cops but this crazy but fun.

Yeah, that's great fun. You get this high pitched reverse whine, and it's just like rear-wheel steering, it's all touchy and stuff. Great fun!

its pretty easy to roll it driving in reverse isnt it?
like if you flick the steering wheel to quick one way?

when i do go backwards fast (just for fun, as you say) i try not to turn the wheel to much, it just feels weird, like its going to tip

Too bad the speedo does not read in reverse. I managed to hit boost in the skyline but that was enough as the tyres just lit up and well I quit hahaha

At first, I thought my speedo didn't work in reverse, but when i was driving backward once, my passenger said, "oh cool, the speedometer works in reverse."...

That was the most pointless post ever.

My speedo works in reverse too. It's all mechanical, maybe that makes a difference?

BTW, Swonder, I like the new close up of the exhaust

hmmm :ondering::

my 89 integra is geared longer in reverse than it is in 1st

4.21 final drive
3.00 reverse gear
195/60R14 tires

7500 rpm fuel cutoff

that means i could go about 41mph in reverse if i take it to the rev limiter

Hummm I never noticed it much on the Skyline but since it is an electronic pickup I only assumed. See I should know better. Ok next time I will have a quick peek.

Not sure on the gearing but I was doing well over 30mph in reverse

Only went fast in reverse once. My buddy was reversing fast in his Mazda 626 standard, we were going pretty fast and he turned the wheel a bit and you could feel one whole side of the car come off the ground

I dont have the balls to go fast in reverse, especially when my car is soo big I find it hard to control in reverse. Going any amount of speed backwards in a smaller car or truck always feels tipsy to me.

As a gag, my friends bought me one of those kits for a truck for backup sirens, and I was "supposed" to put it in my car. Its still in my room, never to be put in.

I always used to drive fast in reverse in my Renault 19 as a teen but stopped when I lost control and went straight through my nieghbour front fence and in to his flower-bed.

I haven't tried anything like that. I'm afraid of doing what Jimmy_11_cars did and cruise through someones yard.

I often back out of parking spaces quickly and what not, but I don't go out of my way to go really fast in reverse. I don't like the sound my standard tranny makes in R...

I've driven in reverse fast only once so far. Freaked my dad out while doing it. Hey, I was only 10...

[AEstud]

Yeah, I do it alot down my friends street.....:bandit:
