Bobbeh Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Poor guy, must be gutting after all that work to get where he wanted it, then for that to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Damn Reminds me of what I was thinking the other day. I know carbon fibre bonnets look great and are very very strong / light, but is this a good thing? Surely you lose a very important part of the front crumple zone by having an indestructable bonnet.

nismo_lp Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Well... i hope my axel/wheel or what ever fuked up doesnt snap on my sup!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S7EVE Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Jesus... Thats nasty. Lucky to still be here by all accounts. 70k apparently - Gutted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby_doo_do Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 In all fairness, for a crash, the main compartment looks as though it coped quite well..just shows how strong the supra is .. At least he's ok. Imagine doing the same in a fiesta - he'd be pushing daisy's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Gutting! Trd wide body too. I know i should'nt, but i couldnt help chuckle.......... You may well have cited the cause of the failure in the above.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 From reading through the thread, he'd had his wheels taken apart to colour code the same crappy brown colour as the rest of his car. They "weren't sure the correct torque settings" to put them back together again and he thinks the wheel fell apart (they couldn't find one wheel after the crash)... aparently he wasn't speeding either. Hmm yeah I don't believe that looking at those photo's. He's also mentioned committing suicide, and getting a big tattoo of his car to remember it by. Oh well.

SupraStar 3000 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 "happened in joliet right after my show at route 66 after winning best toyota." thats awful :( If that was my car I would be thinking of committing suicide too! such a shame.

jason m Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 If you look at the pic of the rear of the car you can see the cause of the problem - its actually a pink one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 If you stick massively wrong offset wheels on cars to fill aftermarket body kits you are just begging for hub failures or suspension failures, the loadings are all wrong and very high.

dandan Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Yep, agreed. I thought you were making some reference to the kit itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 If you stick massively wrong offset wheels on cars to fill aftermarket body kits you are just begging for hub failures or suspension failures, the loadings are all wrong and very high. If you read what was suggested he was blaming the company who took his wheels apart to paint, and believed they didnt put them back together to the manufacturers specifications... as they wouldnt release the information. This could happen to any rim thats not been built correctly no matter what the offset is, may have encoraged it, but I wouldnt lay the cause with that reasoning.

Pete Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 That's nasty alright, I can't believe how much the strut brace has been bent! I was just about to comment on that, looks like that may have helped keep the front together a little.... or it probably just folded like butter.
