  1. I think that was posted on here although i think that was a guy and a woman (hard to tell), slid and rolled on some snowy roads & set on fire! In the pics, apart from the burnt bodies, you could see where they'd tried to get the doors open! I agree it was quite grim! Anyway, i'm not 100% sure but i think lambo doors open a bit (enough to get out) and then raise up. I think in this case the car had rolled that badly that the shell was twisted & the doors just wouldn't open.
  2. I get you What about this? there are lots to choose from but this one looks tidy & unmolested http://pistonheads.co.uk/sales/316125.htm You might even have a bit of money left over to add your own touch
  3. 'VXR Astra' - Don't think you can pick these up for 10k yet can you? i thought they were still quite pricey?... Personally, if it wasn't a supra, i'd spend a tiny bit more and get a tidy Skyline R33 GTR
  4. Are the NA lsd diffs the same as the TT?.. I've had teeth strip off two different normal NA diffs in the past and i know a lot of NA owners have had similar problems (Animal for one). I guess they weren't built to handle much power. I'm not sure about the NA lsd diff though? Maybe they are stronger? I've never knew what the term 'wheel hop' meant until i read this thread and watched the videos but i'm pretty sure i experienced it with the two diffs that broke. Pulling off from standing start (especially in the wet) = loud knocking & juddering from the back end. I always thought this was normal & it was the car trying to get traction. I'm now running another standard NA diff which has been stripped and rebuilt & i've not experienced any wheel hopping yet! Maybe it's a sign that your diff is worn or on it's way out?
  5. Congrats on your purchase Get some pics up when you get chance!

    Fao : M5w Tt

    Think Mike's fitting/fitted a new Greddy FMIC so he's probably having the BOV mounted on the pipework, hence this mount...
  7. The tyre came off the wheel because there was no air in it to hold it on! Did the handling not seem bumpier than normal?
  8. Looks like the guy knows what he's doing!.. Don't know if i'd fancy being his passenger though, he came pretty close to the sides a few times!
  9. I’m not a fan of the lambo doors personally but as far as the argument about safety, surely if you managed to roll your supra and land on the roof, you’d struggle to get the doors open anyway? I'd rather not find out TBH
  10. Did you fit a TT diff? Or are you still running the NA one?
  11. LMAO! I would have loved to of seen that guys face when he turned up for the interview and saw it was you!

    Joke...

    An oldie but a goodie!!
  13. Looks really boring IMO... I'm sure the GT4 will be beefed up a bit but definitely a Mondeo rear end!
