i naturally assume theyre Sri Lankan or Indian, as 9 out of 10 of the supras i see these days are driven by them and usually have roof wings, many bonnet scoops which dont have holes cut for them and roof vents with the ugliest chrome 17inch rims youve ever seen.

yeah them...

aaaaah Nico Rosberg... who's he race for?

Mercedes GP, alongside M. Schumacher - The Germans

lol personally I don't care if you've got a 600kw GTR, no fucker is driving my car unless I'm 100% confident in their skills.

This lesson was learnt after some guy who claimed to be a "awesome driver" with a 300kw GTSt rode the clutch on my triple plate ORC rx7 and fucked it.

I don't ask to drive other people's cars, and I don't let others drive my car. My car, my mods, only I've driven it long enough to know every little detail about it. You don't, and I don't trust you to treat it the same way I would. Simple as that.

^^ That's fucked man!

Did he fix it? Pay for it?

Same with me, the only ppl I let drive is my mechanics who I know personally.

Also my panel beater, but they know not to 'drive' it, only when moving in and out of the workshop.

+ I wish not to see my panel beater at all, meaning I don't want to have any panel damages.

:(

If I'm in the car to supervise then generally anyone that owns a manual car is welcome to drive. At any stage I can say GTFO.

The people I don't trust are panel beaters and the like... I've only had bad experiences with them. F*ckers used like $40 of fuel when apparently all they did was "move the car around the workshop"

lol dumb kent... i told him "its a bridge ported T88, its got a triple plate... can you handle it?" and he's like "yeah man I know how to drive manual and I have a powerful car". Crunched the gears when shifting to 2nd, 3rd and 4th cos it kept wheelspinning on him, almost dropped him when he finally pulled over.

yeah actually, the people who drive it are my mechanic/panel beater, and the boys who work at the workshop. Cos they all know how to properly drive cars.

Only people that drove my car were

My brother - when it was stock/mildly modified

My mum - when I was overseas for a few months, 250rwkw

RE Customs/mechanics/suspension guys etc

Justin

The guy that bought it didn't even drive it until he had handed over the cheque and was driving back to Sydney...

Yeah even when selling my cars I never allowed test drives. I'd drive them to show them how the car drives and tell em I'm protective of my cars... they usually understand. I've had one guy get all suspicious so I told him to fuck off. No exceptions.

I echo this.

I would never buy a car that I haven't driven. Some people that know their cars really well can hide some faults with their driving. When I went to look at my car the owner drive first then let me drive it so I could do a few tests.

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
