if anyone on here knows he maybe point him in the direction of this:
1991 Holden Calibra Coupe mech problems | Cars | Gumtree Australia Swan Area - Bullsbrook

cheap for a reshell if he's spent bulk on his current driveline

Amazing what ABS does these days isnt it?

ok, I'll revise... the guy who was following him down the straight said he didn't see brake lights on his car until it was going off the end of the track... better? Either way, there wasn't much speed washed off when he entered the kitty litter

Thats two totally different stories - if you said that to begin with I wouldnt be tempering the immense drama of no skid marks by reminding you ABS removes those from happening.

I'm sure there were still skid marks in his undies despite ABS.
Master D, XT43 and GTB Liberty like this.

I ended up dropping him home, he'll be sore right about now that's for sure. Airbags went off, pax footwell crumpled in etc. Says he misjudged the corner and hit the brakes far too late, just kept it in a straight line and tried to slow down. Good thing he did, if he'd tuned the wheels at that speed in the sand he would have rolled for sure
