Suprash

Thanks mate, dont worry, I'll be back in one thing or another lol Just really want to get a Supra up to spec, dont know of any really cheap one's going do you

You're trying to stop sliding........crazy man

To be honest mate, I doubt you would be willing to pay what I need off of that car, hence why I need it as a good complete car to get a good price off it, its still a pro spec BDC car there once complete and I need that money to replace her with a Supra

That much !!!! I will need a set soon........

Such a tart

I might, thats an option I havent thought about.......I shall talk it over with my spanner monkey Gav.......

Lol, yeah Nothing ever gets past Snake Eye's Jake 55 because thats on my Supra number plate, remember, M55 ASH....and I tried to get 55 as my number in the BDC but some fat boy already had it, I made a deal to buy the number off him for a £100 lol, but he backed out at the last minute because his drift team was SuperSlide and the 55 looked like SS for Superslide.......so the BDC gave me the next available, 56 lol... EDIT: And drop the txt speak ol' man....otherwise I'll get Gav to infraction your arse

Replied......

Jake, say hi to them all and let them know I saw network/south african Darren today, he turned up here at Deutsche Bank lol, but how about you show them some decent ones of me actually skidding instead of the morbid crashed ones lol

Gaz, are you really desperate for this, I will be back in action in a week or so...... If you are let me know and I have a few drift mates with trucks and flatbeds that could transport for you, cant garuantee their prices will be as good as mine though ? Peejay, swing me a PM for a quote when you're ready.......I'll save you some cash

It was the trailer unfortunately, as I said I have trailered my car before with no problems and had mates trailer their car all the time with no problems, if I was aware of the circumstances around that trailer I would have never used but it got offered to me just as any other trailer would have been or has been in the past, hindsight is a wonderful yet cruel thing As I said we literally pulled out of the yard, got up to about 30/35mph and it just went, so yeah something fundamentally wrong with that trailer. The chaps who its was said he had used it before, but obviously a combination of circumstance, the trailer + plus the weight and distribution of my car + the angle or towing dimensions of my mums Landrover = it just happening on that day.......but f**k it, its happened, no point crying over spilt milk, they say things happen for a reason and maybe it happened so that I would get it sold and get my Supra I have always wanted, otherwise I might have carried on crashed it on track and it burnt out and then I would never been able to sell it...who knows, the world is a funny ol' place But the biggest regret out of all this is that I never got to do that to her myself on the track !!!! I keep joking with my Mum she owes me a drift car, she KILLED IT !!!! lol.....

Car wasnt insured as its a now been a track car for the last year and is always locked away when not competing...... Jamie, yep Im with you now on this one, but thats one of the reasons I bought the truck over a trailer in the first place.......in hindsight I should have packed up and gone home when the truck went out of the equation..... Got your call Gaz, I wouldnt be able to do anything until about a weeks time mate

So carrying on.........I now have a new 180sx shell to reshell everything over. I will get the shell sprayed so its a nice clean base to start with, then me and Gav will swap everthing over. I have definitely lost the front and rear bumpers, along with the bonnet so they will have to be replaced and as they will be brand new and at that point the car is all back together with fresh new paint, un-drifted bumpers and everything being generally new I will probably sell her on. She has been a fantastic car for my first year competing in the BDC for 2009 and due to a shit end and not making round 5 I slipped from my highest position in the Championship of 12th to 19th, which still isnt terrible but I was hoping to build on that and scrape into the top 10. I have said from the start I would never stick with the Nissan, my roots lay with the 2jz family and after this I have fallen out of love with the Nissan, but know when she is re-shelled she'll make a great car for someone else, and why she is all new and before I start bashing her up again I think now will be the time to sell her. I want to compete in a Supra for 2010 as currently there are no Supra's competing in the BDC although there are rumours someone else is building one, another reason I dont want them to be the first I will be on the hunt for an auto TT, I doubt my budget would stretch to a manual TT or a very cheap NA. Basically Im in the market for a Supra which might be un-sellable in the private marker for what ever reason, bad exterio/interior, so if anyone knows of such a car and the person is having trouble shifting it then I could be their answer......

Shit car trailer, turns out is wasnt a manufactured trailer, one someone once built....... If I had actually known this at the time I would have probably reconsidered, but I just took it that it was ok.......

The shell is dead mainly because of the roof, but everything else on the car is good. The skirts are ok, and it looks like we might be able to save the wide front and rear arches with a little bit of love and work.

Not sure many of you know about this, I have left it a few weeks for emitions to settle down a bit lol. Round 5 of the BDC was in Llandow and I set off in the truck on the Friday evening all loaded up with the car on the back, stopped off at Halfords carpark to get something as we left and it appears the truck blew its headgasket, after spending hours in the car park with Gav (thanks again, that bloke is such a legend and he just keeps going) I had to get the truck recovered, which was surprisingly enjoyable at only £160 for a 7.5ton vehicle. So with the truck out I had to get the car to Wales still and was offered a car trailer, so went back home for some sleep before getting up early to get the car on the trailer. My mum offered to tow the car (like she has before) for me so at 05:00 we attempted to get the car on the trailer, which turned out not to be wide enough by 1 inch, so he offered me another trailer. Im hindsight something I wish I never done, but I knew I would have been a grumpy bastard all day at home if I didnt do everything within my power to get me and the car to Round 5. We pulled out of the yard and barely got up to 30/35mph and then it happened The trailer started snaking side to side, my Mum, bless her (another legend through out my first year of competing, always up at the crack of dawn, always cheering me on, always helping out changing wheels), tried to catch it and correct it but it just got worse until the point the trailer just spun us in a 180, trailer and car dug in on a ditch and flipped, thankfully the Landrover didnt go as well, as me, my girlfriend, sister and Mum was in that. I was truely gutted at the time.....

Glad you're having fun with her mate

Ha, Gaz your Satnav is rubbish lol........

Thanks mate, I have to say that was one hell of a mission, but hey, I got to see some of bonny Scotland at the same time lol. Hope you enjoy her......

PM'd........

Thanks Ed, Im just glad to see her away from those cowboys now........go with your gut instinct from now on mate.....to be fair, I doubt they would have any idea how to make a custom exhaust for a V8, so glad to see you have found somewhere more suitable. Remember contact me when you want her taking back

Ed you need to get a top job done on this, I was so impressed with your Supra when I picked her up, nice fresh paint, nice new V8, I was very impressed with how she was looking....... But today almost made me cry a little bit mate to see her being treated/left like she was..... Glad she is home, safe and sound........

Either that or it will just make a right mess in your braces lol

Are there any vids of the DWYB area yet been posted, I have checked the media thread but just drag pics so far.......? Anyone ? Com'on I wanna see some Supras skidding......

Thanks, that day was such a mare, appreciate your efforts, I really thought that the car was going to go up
