tDR Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Glad you're both OK, it's a shame about the car but you guys are more important. RE: why it happened... I'd say you just turned too aggressively coming into the corner. If you were on the brakes following the overtake then that wouldn't have helped as weight would have been transferred forwards and the back end effectively lightened with less downward force on the tyres so less cornering grip. IMO of course! So many people blame conditions, diesel spills, the Supra just being plain dangerous etc. It just has to be driven a certain way at all times, unless you're looking for some oversteer action Hope you get it mended OK with the chassis itself still being straight.

Chris Wilson Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Was it mainly cosmetic damage on proper inspection? Good luck with it, wish I could help, but I don't break cars, so have no panels at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 Mostly cosmetic chris. The only things mechanical that ive found damaged are the steering rack boots and a one of my braided brake likes has a little kink in it but not split. I have noticed though that theres a thud from the diff when you come out of gear into neutral? Any idea what that maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in pretty good condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
