Anyone know who's car it was?

Borg Warner Turbo, lad from the Durham RSOC, private plate, starting with big?

 

Wasn't Justin was it?

 

Dunno Paul, it was White, RS500 splitter.

 

Seen a video of his car on the 0-60 missing bumper so guessing its his, not to hard to replace a 3dr bumper

 

Sadly yes Paul Hopefully a straight forward repair, fingers crossed.

 

good to know it wasnt too serious

 

Wander if there's any pictures of us taking bits off Sinbad

 

Couldnt have crashed very hard as it loked like it was just needing a new front bumper.

 

Wings were bent at front aswell :-/

 

Yeah it was Justins car, sure he will sort it and have it back out in no time.

 

As above was justins 3dr

 

Hi guys I was talking to Justin last night as he only lives 10 doors away and popped up for a bit crack and he has looked and said its only bumper, grill, light and possibly a wing he didn't seem overly concerned it was going to be a big repair and he drove it home some 20+ miles so id go on minor damage...

 

Yes it's my car, I'm sure it was caused for a bad oil leak from engine thats got on the tyres, I'm loosing a fair bit of oil still managed to do the 0-60 and drive home.
Easy fix though, bumper, grill, headlight lights. Should be done for national for round 2.

 

Glad it's an easy fix, but I'd have the oil leak at the top of the list so it didn't happen again.

Looking at the 0-60 vids, the car sounded awesome.

 

Yes oil leak needs sorting, my car never used a drop of oil, when I dipped it it was on min mark so new there's a problem.

Only managed a 4.8 0-60. Couldn't get tracktion at all.
There's a good video on my facebook of my lap on track, shows you want it goes like on the back straight.

 

Real shame, hope it gets sorted out!

 

your car was rapid, spinning all through 3rd gear, even took your lass with you as passenger and still did 4.8 .

 

Shame to hear Justin, thankfully it can be repaired.

Hope the oil leak is an easy fix too.

 

sounds no worse than the sort of everyday accident in a shopping centre car park, thank good we dont have threads for all those too

 

any chance of getting that vid put up on here justin?

 

Video is here, don't know if it'll work like https://m.facebook.com/home.php?refs...00000855085584

 

link don't work bud

 

works fine here, goes well

 

Nightmare Justin.At least its an easy fix.

 

Fingers crossed Justin and hopefully see you at National Day mate

 

It must be a weekend of crashing 3 Doors I had encounter with the Armco at Loton Park on Saturday.

That sounds worse rich is it bad

 

Actually we did

And one member admitted to damaging cars that were in the way of his trolly. I don't think it fared well with the rest of us

 

i've just been stripping the front end down and looking for oil leak, the leak is the rear of rocker cover, i can see all all the way down the car fllo and on the n/s rear trailer arm so thats whats done it

 

I think I need a new door (although it might push out and respray) the front wing is slightly bend too and it touched the rear arch alittle





If i'd had another couple of foot braking room i'd have stopped in time
I got all 4 wheels locked up coming over a crest into 90 degree left hander and slid out wide to the right as it's a weird camber that slops away from the apex toward the armco on the outside

Rich

 

tell me about it...
the vultures where out taking pictures as though they have nothing better to do and talk about
how many 3dr's will have the same bumper and grill fron factory anyway.

try this, i dont have the video, just been tagged in it on facebook

Were you on track Justin when it happened.

 

yes mate

 

That's why I thought it ideal to give you a hand get the car straight as its the last thing you want when you've had a bump.

Chin up mate

 

ah it was you who was helping me, thanks
appreciate it mate, did'nt look to bad after the bumper, grill and headlights removed

 

how much bhp you running m8

 

i would say about 630bhp, it was still spinning on the rollers @ 604bhp

 

thats the thing cameras are out and they wonder if it will be the next breaking news since the saph got rear ended at ND last year, impressive car mate and straight forward fix

 

Was it going well on track too Jus.

 

It was mate, I was getting lots of good comments about it, people wanting it back out again lol.
