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.

    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • 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.
