We've all seen the videos of the Lambo and it's chute. I'd debate their necessity.

Just wondering. Are there any do's or dont's with regards to actually using a chute ?

Is it just a case of pull the lever and do nothing else ?

That could make for an interesting road test video lol

Nothing to worry about on a Supra, my chute kit is very much tried and tested.

If i want to ever race in the HKS drag series i have to have a chute as my car does over 150mph in the 1/4

Might have to do a Bjork style test.

Jamie, what gearbox and diff are you using? Also, do you think you will ever get to a point and wish you have put a V8 in it instead? Or is that not permitted ion the class you run?

Stock V160 6 speed gearbox, TRD LSD with a majestic hardware kit.

Im a big 2jz fan, Id never go V8.

Absolutely amazing, very jealous!

Out of interest how do you insure this? Is it on a valued policy - if so did the insurers take your word for its cost or did they try and work a figure!?

Competition Car Insurance, fully comp, all mods declared, value £60,000.

[JamieP]

They offered me windscreen cover.

What other cars have you got Jamie, if you dont mind me asking?

Nothing special, X5 is my daily car, wife has a focus ST3, ive got a little corsa an all with a 2.0L turbo engine, its a good pub dumper.

[JamieP]

I can't open that on my phone but I'm guessing that's his stock IRS supra that did a 7.2 yesterday? Good work that man.

[JamieP]

Stock IRS Supras are the only ones im really interested in tbh, and more so if they are 6 speed, SW's Supra is still the best IMO, I think it will be a long time before anther 6 speed supra gets into the 7's

Jamie, is there any 'supra' left in this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZoHf3Po0vc&fea...

Not much, engine and tail lights will be about it.

1900 at the fly with nitro...

SW's supra the real deal imo, Proper 6 speed FULL street car, that car holds the standing mile Supra record at 246mph and the fastest ever 1/4 mile run on a 6 speed IRS Supra. 7.91 at 188mph, its the reason i built my car.

Doesn't water get in to the light hole?

No, the hole is where the old boot key used to be, the light is still sealed.
