Hi guys, ive posted on your forum a few times before about my forums meets. now i finally succumbed and bought a supra myself. My previous car was a 350hpcelica gt4 st205. my new one a 94 jap spec supra tt unmodified but with uk spec brakes.

like an idiot being used to an awd car i took a roundabout the wrong way in the wet and nearly killed my supe only a week after buying it!! luckily its only bodywork damage the chassis and engine are fine. so its at knight racer at the mo being sorted with a do luck kit front, bomex skirts, trd front wings, trial rear and trd rear wing and respray in world rally blue. will be very sexy when finished.

moral of the story, dont drive a rwd car like an awd car :(


here are some fooked pics. will post some pics when its fully done as it will look sexy as hell

hi Uz long time no speak mate im glad you came away from the celica to buy a Supra instead. You have been a naughty boy he he doing that to a supra in such a short while.

Glad to hear you were not hurt mate and do you have any weight reduction session lined up for the Supra like you did with your GT4

Pah, what would you know? ;)
P.S. Glad you got it back eventually. Should be easier to identify you catching up at warp speed in my mirror now that it's slightly orange, too ;)

uzthedentist - hope you get it sorted dude, I hate seeing a Supe like that :( At least you are ok an no-one got hurt. :)

that spoiler seems to be fibreglass...probably the hard impact caused it to snap, good that your ok.

For the spoiler to snap like that, the tailgate must be seriously bent and out of shape

Looks like it hit at the rear end quite hard with enough force to effect the spoiler. I would make sure the tailgate is still straight and true.

It doesn't look too bad a fix to me.

Yours didn't break, did it Lee? I guess this must have been more of an initial smack compared to your 'dance' around in circles, dinging off the barrier as you went? :(

Oooh mate,glad it doesn't look too bad.Had a few incidents like that myself,but luckily no damage!Arent you on the Soarer site as well? I thought I'd seen your name there before:)

nothing wrong with the tailgate its completely fine, the spoiler got caught in the branches of a small tree. fished one fat branch that was mangled in it

Thing I'm most impressed by is the door. Look at the front and rear damage which is quite bad denting, then look at the door. Nothing has even gotten close to coming into the passenger compartment. Before someone says it didn't hit the door looksee the mirror is missing.

look forward to seeing this one get back on the road, so how much have you spent at knight racer then? if i was to get the car sprayed then i would probabily get them to do it they seem to have produced some good work
