Don't Take Your Mum's New Camry To The Track.


Recommended Posts

hmm so his mistake was that he downshifted at high speeds around a bend?? Or the fact he went to fast into the corner? hmm ..

it's a combination, he got to the corner too fast and was then lifted off the throttle mid corner to down shift which generated a fair whack of lift off oversteer, he tries to correct a little but at that point seems to be hard on the brakes which in the massive slide he is now in means he has no traction to alter the cars angle and bascially just slides into the pond. :P

lol handbrake is gold, i just realised that if this vid matches that outside shot (it must!) then this qualifies for WELCOME TO LAST YEAR

Yeah it's defintely an old video :P

99% of SAUers would do exactly the same thing, or worse, as they have 100 more hp at their disposal and probably less talent. :)

Bit rich to sit back and bash the guy with your keyboards.

After he lost it he did the right thing...on the brakes!

I reckon good on him for having a go and not just modding his car with bullshit bling and acting like you are the long lost love child of fitty cent and paul walker...

who care its a gold video

wish i had one of when i nailled the wall at the track

all that money wasted and nothing to show for it

just ask duncan he has it on video

if i did i would have a small tv dedicated to playing it over and over again!!!!!!!!!!!

haha ill see if I can dig up the video...got in my hdd somewhere...

its a guy named russell going around wakefield in his red wrx..and some hillarious commentary to boot...

I'm holding out to see it!

Impressive.

I would have thought a badly-done downshift would have compression locked the front, causing that to wash out instead.

But at the same time unbalancing the car mid corner, big no no... heal and toe!!! :P

Here's the thread - unfortunately it doesn't look like the vid is still up  :(

What about the brakes Russ?

Starts around post #34.

Did anyone save a copy?

yeah I saved a copy......but I dont know how to upload videos on to this forum.... :(

    • I think he was only proposing to use the wire, not the sender. Simply because it runs from the right place to the right place. Personally, I wouldn't hack up the factory wiring like that. I'd just lay in the Defi loom.
    • From memory it wasn't too hard to simply see which wire ran where when you plug that in. Unfortunately also from memory the OEM sender does not use the same configuration 99.9% of gauges run. So in other words if you connect the signal wire that was running to the OEM gauge to your DEFI gauge you might find your oil reads at 200C or some other incorrect value. I remember having the same line of thought and then running new wires/senders to match the gauges I have. The pinout is available in the R34 workshop manual.
    • Does anyone on here know which wire on the GTT triple gauge pod harness is for the oil temp gauge? my sensor works fine but I upgraded the gauges to DEFI advance. And if I can simply piggyback off the oem oil temp wire to the Defi oil temp sensor wire that would make life so much easier.
