Guest Usmann A Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 Was makin a video today,when overtakin the truck on a slight bendy hill.....toward a41. Floored the car and lost the back car 3 times..it wacked against the kerb and damaged the left rear alloy. Seriouly dented in...cannot be repaired..badly buckled...i got 17 inch 3 piece split rim "equip" alloys. PLs does anybody have these alloys on their supe..or know of anyone who supplies them. Any advice on on "equip" alloys!!!!!! Thanks in advance!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminator Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 With a whack like that you should get a full alignment check as well. Glad you did not do anymore damage or get hurt, you were lucky you did not lose it altogether. RLTC may be worth considering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Terry S Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 I spent the whole of Chrimbo thrashing the cods off my slag. The lack of traction is ridiculous. It will spin the wheels in the dry at over 100mph. I need to sort out a TC system soon. Either I have to connect up a rear speed sensor to the Autronic, or Get Julian to re install my RLTC. In Fast Show styley: " this year I will be mostly trying to stop my wheels from spinning" Anyone know a source for R compound tyres. CW??

Guest Usmann A Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Gaz and Terry seems to think that they r perfect drivers never lost the back..well one little mistake can lead to bad results...no one is perfect guys. Just because the back got lost...dosent do evidence for me not being able to control a 600hp car. Like I said one little mistake...also we havent had the car long..only about 3 months.

Guest Terry S Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Well at least you are taking your time & easing yourself into it in perfect conditions. Seriously though, I have total respect for you pushing the MKIV, but they can bite hard, & with 600bhp are another ball game altogether. BTW, never said I was a perfect driver, just much better than most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Walker Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 The first line of you original message sums it up for me. I never said anything about your driving. I drive like Miss Daisy's chauffuer. You've just demonstrated that your struggling to hold onto 300hp let alone 600hp. As Martin says, your lucky it was just a wheel. Gaz.

Paul Whiffin Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Over the last few months with the shit weather I must hear about of at least of 2 Supra's a week that have been stacked in some way, obviously a tricky car to drive with slippery road conditions. Get the car on a track/airfield day and learn its limits, thats what I say. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_TC Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 isnt this the guy that posts on japukmeets, he's only 16 and its his dad who's the owner, and he wants 1000rwhp not 600 according to post over there:conf: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
