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.... :(

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
