I Done A Boo Bo

[Dave1986]

I was at a driftday yesterday and i had a big off, got off lighlty tho (No panel damage)

Heres a few pics i got of mines and Asi's car

Heres what my car looked like after i went through a gate and some tyres, i also lost the rear section of my axhaust

I stitched my car back up and headed out again, this time my back bumper suffered some death, not due to tyres but because my exhaust wasnt there the heat produced up behind my rear bumper was enough to melt it and make it bend back on itself :( I quickly managed to bend it back but it has a big crease in it and doesnt line up properly, also snapped my rear skirt

Front bumper is repairable im sure, any1 think the rear can be made decent with some heat?

Im also on the lookout for a rear section/backbox if anyone knows of any for sale, are the rear sections on the Altezza the same as the IS?

[ibby]

sorry to hear buddy.

all easly repaible!

[LOcKY]

Dont worry mate she will be fully repaired in no time :) she looks a bit naughty with her rear exposed like that :S

[russelllinn]

The body all looks okay though so plastics are easier and cheaper to repair eh!!

The main thing is did you have fun? If so it kinda balances itself out eh ;)

[Asi]

What the hell Dave take it that happened after i went away???

well by the looks at the front bumper its repairable. im not to keen about the rear end mate but take it to a good body shop they might be able to tell you if thy can fix it. if the exhaust of the IS is the same then i have the one off my car and i could give you that if you want?

let me know how you get on mate

[Lexus2D]

OUCH

[Hogan22a]

sorry to see damage atleast its only bodywork nothing too serious.

love the altezza in yellow.

wont take alot for her to be 100% again.

let me know how you get on mate

Yeah i managed to link up the 3rd and 2nd last corners into 1 big drift but due to lack of power i had to carry speeds of around 100mph, i done it perfectly 2wice then on the 3rd time i spun when changing direction, i hit the red metal gates and some tyres behind it lol

I should be able to source a bumper easily enough (not in yellow tho :( ) lol, if any1 knows of a good aftermarket exhaust for sale let me know please :) if a standard 1 fits urs may be a temporary answer Asi, ill let u know.

Exhaust is my main priority as i dnt wanna melt another bumper

Iv got a week of work next week so with a bit of luck (and some cashmonies) i shud be rolling around again next week..maybe!

[Asi]

are you thinking to source a front bumper??? if you are then i want one aswell hehe.

rear bumper shouldnt be much of a prob as a breaker should have one just the lip that would cost alot.

well if the exhaust is the same let me know more than happy to give it to you mate.

nasty buddy ......was up at crail in june at the banzia (jap day) quite fancied the driftin .....not now though,hope ypu get it all sorted

[Davros]

Sorry to see you have got some drift scars there, hope you sort it soon !

How does the Altezza handle while drifting ?

Have you got any pics or vids ?

[Parthiban]

Those pics make me sad

Front bumper doesn't look too bad (and thankfully so as it must be a pain to get one of those) - I would have thought you'll need a new bumper on the rear though

Ill get some pics for u when i get back onto my own pc m8, it didnt hadle to well with the suspension on it i had but since fitting coilovers it handles like a dream, need to raise it a bit at the front tho as my tyres were rubbing the arch when sliding on full lock, the only thing i reckon the Altezza lacks is power, id love to drift 1 with more power than mines, ideally if i had enough money id tubby or charge it and see how it went, but lacks of funds prevent me from these god things :( lol

I reckon the rear bumpers a gone'f but the from shud be ok with a small repair and some paint, 1 sideskirt needs painted and sealed back on too... Does any1 have a rough idea what sorta price im looking at to get a new rear lip?

[Asi]

the rear lip cost abit from toyota but people sell them on eBay now and then so what to do is get a rear bumper leave the lip till you find it on eBay.

Heres a few pics of it in action

Asi's car in action

Started the repairs on mines, got a 2nd hand bumper for £40 and managed to get a standard exhaust from Asi (Cheers dude) im looking at around £300 to get my front and back bumpers painted (with a slight repair) and 1of my sideskirts painted too

[Davros]

Nice pics !

Is that on standard suspension? Looks like you have got a lot of lean on it there.

Is this a Supercharged Sport or SE ?

How did this handle ?

[damian88]

Lexus always look very aggressive in action !! :heart:

Yea that was in june/July before i got my coilovers, it was running on TRD shocks and springs

Im not sure what model Asi's car is but it is a 'Charged one, has the sport Diff fitted and handled pretty well, could do with being a little stiffer!

[Davros]

Ah, so it does have an LSD.

That’s cool. All the pics look very good. I’ve done a couple of track days in my IS, and I wouldn’t mind having ago at a practice drift day with it too, but wasn’t sure how it would go.

Am i right in saying u work for toyota? Would it be possible for u to get me an exact price and the likes? I could come and pick it up and perve at your car too

[Asi]

£180 is not bad at all. im sure ormi would get you a good price on stuff. dave once you get the part number im sure i could get it from dunfermline toyota as the guy in there is cool with me.

[ormi]
