jackso11 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 funny angle to put the fmic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 funny angle to put the fmic It's known as 'v-mount'. Popular with RX7 people and the like. It means you don't have your intercooler in front of your radiator, and both components get loads of cold air. Ryan G did it on his Supra IIRC.

Nic Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 It's known as 'v-mount'. Popular with RX7 people and the like. It means you don't have your intercooler in front of your radiator, and both components get loads of cold air. Ryan G did it on his Supra IIRC. Mounting it further back will also mean it's not as exposed to any drifting front end 'impacts', looks like the IC piping length is a lot shorter too. Liking the Weds SA67R wheels, Project Mu brakes and Ikeya Formula suspension, a few pennies spent there! Not seen the winglets mounted on the side the stock wing before. Any pics or videos of the finished car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Wow, what happened? Was that just driver error or did the rear brake actually lock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Can anyone work out what happened? Looks like something either broke or he just lost traction when downshifting for the corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Can anyone work out what happened? Looks like something either broke or he just lost traction when downshifting for the corner. Is that big lever not a hydraulic rear brake? It seemed like he hit that to break traction at the rear but it either didn't come back off again, or he hit it at the wrong angle losing control so then just held it on to try and kill speed. If you watch the rear wheels on the outside view it shows the rear wheels locked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Can anyone work out what happened? Looks like something either broke or he just lost traction when downshifting for the corner. He certainly didn't get enough steer! I think either he froze (unlikely) or something quite essential broke at the wrong moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do sequential shifters and gearbox components - although not off the shelf for the Supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Doom Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Ouch!! looks like the wheels locked up for some reason. If not, it seems a long way to slide without trying to swerve or something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 From the windscreen cam and outside view the rear seems to start squirming whilst still accelerating, just before he needed to set the car up sideways into the corner. By that time it must have been doing 100+mph, the locked brakes look like a vain attempt to kill some speed once he realises he's going off.
