Was makin a video today,when overtakin the truck on a slight bendy hill.....toward a41. Floored the car and lost the back car 3 times..it wacked against the kerb and damaged the left rear alloy.

Seriouly dented in...cannot be repaired..badly buckled...i got 17 inch 3 piece split rim "equip" alloys.

PLs does anybody have these alloys on their supe..or know of anyone who supplies them.

Any advice on on "equip" alloys!!!!!!

 

:confused:

 

 

 

Thanks in advance!!

Pulling a stunt like that i reckon you should count yourself lucky you've only got a bent alloy.

I spent the whole of Chrimbo thrashing the cods off my slag. The lack of traction is ridiculous. It will spin the wheels in the dry at over 100mph. I need to sort out a TC system soon. Either I have to connect up a rear speed sensor to the Autronic, or Get Julian to re install my RLTC.

 

In Fast Show styley:

 

" this year I will be mostly trying to stop my wheels from spinning"

 

Anyone know a source for R compound tyres. CW??

Anyway, what where you doing at over 100mph. Thats just irresponsible. ;)

Oh yeah, private runway..........

 

"Slag's" fine, but cold inside. I need to wind out the wastegate spring as she is making too much boost.

Gaz and Terry seems to think that they r perfect drivers never lost the back..well one little mistake can lead to bad results...no one is perfect guys.

Just because the back got lost...dosent do evidence for me not being able to control a 600hp car.

Like I said one little mistake...also we havent had the car long..only about 3 months.

Well at least you are taking your time & easing yourself into it in perfect conditions. Seriously though, I have total respect for you pushing the MKIV, but they can bite hard, & with 600bhp are another ball game altogether.

 

BTW, never said I was a perfect driver, just much better than most ;)

The first line of you original message sums it up for me.

 

I never said anything about your driving.

 

I drive like Miss Daisy's chauffuer.

 

You've just demonstrated that your struggling to hold onto 300hp let alone 600hp.

 

As Martin says, your lucky it was just a wheel.

 

Gaz.
