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 havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
