Jezz Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Ok, so all apart from the rack mounts, but saying that it was the rack part that broke, not the chassis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muffleman Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 On one run half way down at 130mph, one of the steering rack mounts sheered off and he lost all steering! On another run the wastegate blew off, completely. If I see it on the tarmac at the pod, I'm gonna step away from the fence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 I was at PTM Show at Pod yesterday and i heard them mention that the JPS Supra ran a 7.6 1/4 mile on the Saturday, but they were not sure if they could class it as a new record, because it was at a RWYB, not an actual event. But either way, the car still ran it. It also won the HKS Pro class yesterday uncontested, as the dry sump system failed on the Project GTST Skyline and knackered one of the bearings i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Was at Leons this morning, had a good look over this. The workmanship thats gone into that car is unreal! He was saying he had a few problems on Saturday testing. On one run half way down at 130mph, one of the steering rack mounts sheered off and he lost all steering! Jammed on the anchors and stopped 2" away from the wall. The launch wheelie killed the mount. On another run the wastegate blew off, completely. So things breaking off is good?

jacko Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 I should imagine they were teething problems, as it had only just been built Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
