TREGTR Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I also second this... I have two project cars now... I never want another "non runner" car ever... If you have the room and don't set a deadline, it's a lot less painless. How did Supra get written off?

MBS206 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 If you have the room and don't set a deadline, it's a lot less painless. How did Supra get written off? It's been four years now... I miss having a running skyline Plus I don't really have the room, and it's a PITA each time I need to move Planning to have the room issue sorted in around 18 - 24 months though, which should be SAWEET! Supra was written off because I stuffed up taking a corner. Spun it into a cliff. Really bad corner, that really shifts the weight of the car mid corner, and it had moss and water on it too, rear end came around, shifted weight mid corner and back the opposite way. Drove it out from where I was and back down to an area a towie could get in, and shut it down before it over heated and damaged anything. Bought it home and wrecked it. Actually made money on it. LOL. But god I miss that car, it was just so... Raw!

I have been thinking about picking up a Supra - the power from standard internals appeals Nah... Much worse corner than in RNP... LOL Goes from a down hill run off camber, to just a bit after the apex it shifts up hill, on camber. Hence, lack of traction incoming, rear end came around, and it massively shifted the weight right as I put some opposite lock on...

MBS206 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 yet the mighty stock rb26 can also hold its ground reasonably well Until it oil surges... LOL The supra I had was a 3rd Gen Supra a GA70 specifically, so a 2.0L I6 TT. It was NOT quick, not at all, LOL but I love it, it had character. Disconnect the waste gate vac lines and just let the turbos self regulate at around 25 PSi... Toyota had enough fuel from factory that it wouldn't knock I took a JZA80 out to a motorkhana, exceptionally fun car to drive, but forget about EVER getting traction off the line. They just want to wheel spin. A very nice cruiser, although more something I'd build if I was young and stupid again and wanted a highway runner. This is where even a GTS-t kills a JZA80, ability to grip and go!

MBS206 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 corkscrew corner. Embankment on opposite side of road, or same side? It's a left hand turn on a road country road near Wollongong. Cliff is on opposite side of the road. So I came in, turned left, car stepped the rear end to the outside of thecorner, grabbed a whole heap of grip in the front and flung it back around the opposite way and across the road and into the cliff. There was a lot of factors involved in why it happened, but the main one, that contributed 99% to it, was the driver farked up.

MBS206 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I don't think they sell it by the drum lol and it's kind of greasy, which rules out sunscreen substitute lol Surprisingly there is another brand of that stuff that does get sold by the 44gallon drum. Known in industry as just "Barrier Cream" The electricians at my old job introduced me to it, I also worked with a bunch of fitters. The fitters called the electricians poofs for using "hand cream"... Yeah, one of the fitters finally tried it... Now the fitters are also being a bunch of poofs and using hand cream... LOL Stuff is magic for protecting your hands from grease and grime. Should get my step dad to get me some for while I'm working on cars... Although, I've also been abused into wearing gloves so I dont cut myself as much...
