i was at a 21st last night at a pub on dandenong road near caulfield...

all of a sudden everyone runs over to the window and there in the intersection is what looks like a mildly modified saab. what was odd was that the engine burst into flames! not just a small fire either... bits of the front bar, bonnet and engine were falling off and the smoke was unbelievable!

there was only 1 guy in the car and i felt so sorry for him. if it were me i would still be on the road crying :)

did anyone see it?? - happened about 11pm

good to see the MFB were there in less than 5 mins before the fuel lines transported the flame to the pertol tank! they were soon followed by 2 cop cars and 2 ambulances but these were pointless

oh and tomorrow i'm off to buy a fire extiunguisher from supercheap - $25 well spent now me thinks...

Waz.

    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all. 
    • Ok. What is the go to transmission upgrade that can handle some abuse with around 700nm at the hubs? Must be quiet gears as the car is being street used.
