Default to everyone that has a high hp sc ( look )

upgrade your rear traction bars as the stock traction bars become butter





enjoy.

How much are you pushing slow SC? If I remember right you were the one that had the turbine damage on SF? From the WOTM mani?

What was the cause of this or when did you notice it? Do you launch the car at the track or did this happen on the street?

Wow, never seen the stock traction bars bend! I went with the upgraded Phr versions though.

Me either.

Sorry, I'm not down with this nonsense. It is a first report of an unknown issue among hundreds of Supra's and SC's that run equal and greater rwhp numbers than 600. Something else was tweaked other than hp to bend those traction bars, imho.

I'd have to agree out of all the supras and sc's I've built i never seen one bent even al was using the stocks and he make was at 900+ on his supra and tony nino is over 900+ and his hasn't tweaked and thats a drag specific car..... these are just a few examples of the cars i've built and I've never seen one go like that so you had to of done something else based on my experience

well my car was fine then one afternoon i was out racing bikes and playing with my anti lag and then i notice something didnt seem right as my car was dog legging very badly.... that is the out come.

btw my supra friend said that they look thiner then the mkiv traction bars, and the mk3 supra traction bars are known to bend with just 350rwhp.

anyways the megan's are much thicker and feel much more solid.

I put the Megan ones on my car back in the spring when I had to put a better clutch in, they're very nice pieces and they're not much money.
