dublin lad Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 bloody had the ex in car on our way back from inverness. driving past elgin on the lhanbryde exit roundabout 2nd gear about 20mph the car spun right around and stopped facing other way of traffic. ground was slightly damp. needless to say we both got a scare.

dublin lad Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 So you've learned how much is too much abuse? not yet but am learning. but on the way home i took jamies advice and i drove it like i stole it. i honestly underestimated just how quick and powerful a supra na is. it needs to be treated with respect imo.

gordy07 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Ive been caught out a few times in the NA too. Every time i go out to check and see if the tyres are bald,but theyre not. Ive had the supe sideways in the dry(by mistake) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dublin lad Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 the back end came round ver quick indeed. like u i also checked the tires when i got home but all have lots of thread left. is it normal for rwd cars to do this. is there a type of tire which is better for wet damp conditions etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Sorry for the comments.. I have an N/A now but I am also spoilt by the cars I get to drive due to my job. I'm happy with my N/A as I will never be able to put 600+ rwhp in my own car but I do get to drive such monsters although VERY carefully.

buster Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 lol u get used to this mate can happen when you least exspect it just hope it dont happen over a puddle with a wall near by my supra didnt make it very glad i did tho just take it easy in the wet slow drifts are fun but save the faster driving for the dry much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
