    Yup, the clutch got spanked a good en, and as it died it took the flywheel and a few other bits and bobs out!

    TBH, if I was rich enough to buy a £130k car and spank it until it broke......I'd buy a £40k tuned Skyline, spank it three times as hard, and keep the change.

    Edit: my final criticism- those exhaust manifolds look horrendous for gas flow- do they have a substructure under the outside skin? Or have VW totally ignored scavenging effects on the engine of a properly expensive motah?

    Looking at the exhaust, it almost looks like an expansion chamber off a two-stroke...

    It's a Tubi exhaust, not the standards. Oh and it seriously improves the cars performance, so they can't be that bad!

    Oh and Rave, they're 170k

    But if you were rich enough to buy a £130k car to kill, you would not think like that

    to be fair, theres no point in having a car like that unless you're going to spank it. i think the idea of having a supercar and never ragging it is just plain silly.

    If you look carefully you can see they are just heatshields. The real stuff is underneath them.

    If i was going to do gumball with unlimited money i'd go for something like a bentley continental GT or BMW M5....why you'd get something like a murchielago which is slower in a straight line and less comfortable is beyond me!
