Max Headroom Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Just read another thread on one of the TT boys flipping his Supra. Please Please Please be careful!! So far it has been two TTs flipped this year, I would hate it to be more. And on a lighter note, it is making the silver coloured Supe less common Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 If there was a way of turning the 2nd turbo off for winter driving etc, I'm sure none of this would happen! One turbo is enough for this time of year. May sound like a stupid statement, but its that 2nd one kicking in that can take you by surprise, especially if you've got an auto. Or just take it easy and slow down. I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan4 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 the celica is being used for all driving by ear/feel moments after the recent ice lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VELOCITY Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Will be careful but the only time i will be driving my Soop is to Turbo fit next month, until then its the trusty Rover 600 Auto! But to all other members be very careful, if its not frost or snow on the roads its just the greasey film left on the tarmac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Yup, you have to be careful. Use the "analogue throttle" foot-modification to prevent accidents! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 My NA didn't have ABS, had smaller brakes, no airbags, standard diff and no traction control. I was far more likely to have an accident in that than my current....and look what happened to it in the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain2010 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I get mine back soon going from na to tt, a little nervous at this time of year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let it go Pete... let it go... it was a trusty friend, but alas a lump of inanimate metal... it's in Supra heaven now, smiling down on it's TT brother...

Pete Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 a lump of inanimate metal How would you like it if when you're gone you were described as a lump of carbon and water eh? EH? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious tho the roads are mega dodgy with dry bits and damp patches mid corner not good at all:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Headroom Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 Yes less common now more collectable/valuable/desirable Just like the red supe's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pot Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 My NA didn't have ABS, had smaller brakes, no airbags, standard diff and no traction control. Aye, same as mine, and I've had some slippery moments recently, so it's fair to say everyone should be a touch more careful TT or NA...

RedM Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Next person to say 'blah blah 2nd turbo, blah especially in an auto" will get a slap. Do you know how much throttle you have to give it to get it to 4k? If you are driving like that you are not really driving correctly for the conditions. Sick of hearing that same excuse.

hiten55 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 i figured, in this weather, best thing to do is drive my dads renault espace... lol no chance of crashing that - not enough power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
