Dragonball Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Ben speaking to Craig Sawyer (he did the cannonball run last year - lexus wheels etc) Poor chap wrote his P&J off in the rain - complete aqua-planing at low speed (and I mean really low speed) coming onto a dual carraigeway - spun round a few times and must have hit a lamppost in the rear - complete body buckled Big commiserations m8:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Cargill Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 I hate to say it, but if you look back over the years we are into the "I've crashed my Supra" season. There are always a few, and that excludes those who keep quiet about the sad event. I pulled out of work really gently this afternoon, turning right at a set of lights, and the back end came right out. The look of horror on the drivers face on the road I'd turned into as I was almost facing the side of his car. More by luck I caght it and all was well, but a big reminder.......

Gaz Walker Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Craigs Supra is Silver, not the T88 Blue one... Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 I think the blue one is T78. But phew for him! That but 520 at the hubs with only 1/2 boost I think.. awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Peace Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 That is sad news. I think most of us have encountered that kind of weightlessness experience that we share with the other Astronauts who live on 'Mir' when the back end goes. (scary) tragic when it happens...but it happens. Snow next week they rekon...drive to work?? NO WAY. I took mine off the drive onto compacted Ice a couple years ago it was just sliding down the road on its on accord whilst it was in Park....a neighbour rushed out and pulled the back end round by its Spoiler like it was a Pram in order to avoid it hitting a builders van. Hope he was OK...hope he gets another one.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 Its sad to hear about supras getting busted but this weather is not ideal for these cars, only yesterday I was on a dual carraigeway cruising in third gear and went to overtake and the wheels just lit up with a bit of snaking about.

Roy Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 sorry to hear such distressing news. hope you get another mate. think my rltc has sorta 'changed configs' after a flat battery session (although they shouldn't lose their settings) and it has been hard cutting in big time - even if i ease around a corner, it comes in and it sounds like a friggin' machine gun going off in the back. matt has a drive in it today and even HE said it was ' a bit jerky' ...

Terminator Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 What is going on with RLTC at the moment me Roy anyone else having problems. May be the dats have a built in self destruct date. Sorry off topic, but without RL working it feels like I just got the car again. So much unrestrained torque can be a hand full with unpredictable grip levles. Tail happy once again:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 phil - would it work if i downloaded someone else's working DAT file to the rltc application on the laptop then stick it on mine after allowing for tyre size differences ? i am not sure if it is that easy?

Terminator Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 If you did not keep the one I sent you and a note of your allocations, then that would be one option. You just need to enter the wheel sizes and ensure the allocations are correct. If I remember correctly your laptop does not have an RS323 connection???? Or was that someone else at POD. I have the one I did for you ,minus wheel allocations on my laptop, if that is any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
