Ok well its been a while since I posted some pics of my supra, so I thought I should, well this will make all the supra haters here very happy :LOL: It was written off, all that damage done by a curb the frame was completly twisted, all 4 wheels were snapped clean off behind the discs, major supports in the car were torn open, it was quite bad, my head went through the drivers side window and I had 6 stitches in my head Seems my plans never go ahead the way I want them too... am I cursed?? :LOL::thumbsup: Ahhh well, the best thing about it all is I was insured, so Ive already bought my new car... although... Ive managed to further distance myself from all of you :embarrassed: This is my new car..
Hope that Sarah is ok Corvets point it straight it goes ok .Try a driving course then come back to Zeds an N/A at first.cbzx
How it happened It haden't rained here in QLD for quite some time, coming home from picking sarah up at 5am it had started to rain very lightly (like a mist) making the road incredibly slippery, As I came around a slight curve in the road about 15k's under the speed limit, the back end just completly snapped around on me (the investigators think due to their being quite big ripples in the road) but basically I was thrown instantly sideways, and hit a curb, traction control was on..
Thanks Thats actually a bad pic of it, doesnt even show the colour properly its really pearl orange Custom interior too, running a worked 350 V8... the sound.. ohh myy :embarrassed: poor supra though, oh well ive taken another of your enemies off the street for good :LOL:
What happened to buying an.... 'NSX'...If I remmember correctly..... you were hell bound on it...BTW nice choice off Vette, Owned many a vette in my day, still have a soft spot for them :thumbsup: PS When are we going to see you back in a 10 sec Zed Zac?......(try saying '10 sec Zed Zac' a few times) a real tongue twister :LOL:
Thats still the plan But I was never going to buy one here, Im off to Japan to get one, Im taking private japanese lessons, and when I can speak it, im off :thumbsup: I wanted to bring back a 99 300zx, and potentially get it modded over there
Corvette Very nice Corvette ZAC, can you supply any details on it, price etc, bought locally etc:thumbsup:
Heheh thanks man Not thinking of a change are you? It was $40,000, the ad actually said $30,000 but it was a misprint, after seeing the car though it was an oppertunity not to be missed.. Its an Original motor L82 1978 limited edition silver anniversary, its had the conversion to RHD done, its an auto, just come out of a ground up restoration, it has a new Pearl orange paint job, and a new custom leather interior, Its a 350 V8 (5.7L), the head was rebuilt and it has had some mild cam work done, there is a new radiator, new Rubbers 275's on the rear with a 15" rim.. lol its allllll side wall :LOL::LOL: Yes I bought it locally, I found it here on the gold coast, actually the car was used at Indy, it was one of the vettes that did the victory lap with one of the V8 Supercar drivers in it, the guy is only selling it because he need a deposit for his new apartment :thumbsup: Insurance is the best thing of all, even though the car is more expensive, and I just wrote off the supra, the Vette is $1350 a year on rating 3!!
Supra Damaged.... Just say "Meh..." and buy a Vette!!! Nice... dude, Nice! Enjoy it.... that's a Stingray is it not? 1971? Love the Corvettes!
heheh thanks man Its a 1978 limited edition 25th silver anniversary edition, so set to go up in price in a big way these cars are investments not like the supra :thumbsup: They stopped calling it a stingray in 77, it was only ever a badge that chevy added to the car, there were no other options, the 78 was also the first aero redesign, the back became wrap around glass with a fastback roof line :thumbsup:
Hey man, any chance of interior pics a little later? Ive bought a few corvettes for the WA market over here in Japan , but ive never actually seen one converted to RHD, so im really interested in the quality of the dash conversion. Would really appreciate it. Cheers Houndz
Hey man sure thing When I pick the car up end of next week or the week after, Ill take some for you It basically looks identical to the LHD except its RHD
Sorry to hear about the Supra man.:thumbsdown: Here's some thing to cheer you up, took this one at Fontana raceway.:thumbsup:
Hey Thanks man :thumbsup: Thats hot I want to get those side pipes, although I dont know if my ear drums will allow me :LOL:
Corvette Zac How does this car handle, in relation to the steering, I drove one for a short distance and the steering was very heavy, plus inside the cabin was hot from the engine, irrespective Iam very envious of your new ride:thumbsup:
Steering and handling was very good, steering was responsive and not too light, good transferral of information through the wheel, the car handled very well, could feel a bit more body roll than the supra or the Z, and the effects of having a 15 inch rim, as the rubber had a HUUUGE side wall :LOL: Inside the cabin wasn't really hot, although I wouldent have known because the targa tops were off :thumbsup: although this vette has a new radiator and has been retrofitted with thermo fans, new plush carpeting, the Big block model has big problems with overheating though.. This one has Power steering, power brakes, positrac diff and brand new tyres so if any vette can handle, its this one :thumbsup:
