Hey..this vid is really popular. An SRT-4 Neon driver smokes his clutch because he doesn't know how to do a burnout and that's barely noticed. An RX-7 driver gets sold some wrong sized lug nuts and loses his wheels durring an auto-x event and it turns into "Drifter ****s up" lol...I guess it's the price we pay for driving the famious "Japanese Supercars". I know it'd be just as popular if an NSX, 3kGT, MKIV or Z32 had this happen...

So, The story? anyone interested? The owner bought some rims for his FD, the stock lug nuts didn't fit with that particular rim. he ordered a new set that would fit with the rim. the new set was .25mm off on the thread pitch. they went on easy enough to not notice. On the first turn, as stress was applied to the nuts, they stripped the posts and all 20 nuts fell off I'd sue the comapny that sold me the nuts until they went out of business, if that was my FD.
