Regarding the VTEC VDC, I would suggest it is wise to leave it on, you never know what's on the road surface and sometimes it requires more to correct the car than just counter-steer + gas-pedal (from personal experience).

Who knows why did conor1123's dad turn off the VDC, maybe he was like some of us, thinking "Who the heck need VDC, I can counter steer....."

No offense to OP but just saying.

Who knows?

He underestimated how much the VDC actually keeps the car under control and it ended up biting his *** lol.

After all, i'm the one on the forums all day and I learn more and more about my car and what it can do everyday, he doesn't! :P

BTW, any updates on the repair?

I think I'll keep mine on for the commute home today. Sorry for your bad luck - kind of a wake up call for me - maybe others too. My Dad passed away 15 years ago - wish he was still around to thrash my car.

Sucks about your car, but at least every time your Dad knocks your driving skills, you can say "hey, remember when you trashed my practically spotless Z"?
