haha, funny thing is, after watching the video, it felt like i was doing donuts for so much longer than i really did..

and i have the awe-tuning/borla V2 exhaust. like the sound?

[Audi_Sniper]

Yeah I love the sound. Why the hell does my neuspeed not sound that good, it's made by Borla????

[DRA4]

Cool video, i love the the sound.

Nice man that was so sweet!

be careful doin that $hit. it's so hard on the car. i was doin that in the snow and broke my axle. i know it's mad fun, and i know my axle prolly had a defect previously but still, take it easy with those. i wouldn't advise doin it more much longer than nick did

[OverSpun]

i did it longer than that, i just cut the video to show the better looking ones cause the other ones werent as good, as if the one i posted is even that good either, but still. oh yea... power steering pump took a dive after that event, didnt totally go out for a month or 2 after though.

do it in reverse next time, so much fun... http://apollo.ascelon.net/cars/RevAxis.AVI

[BQAD]

Wheeeee! That looks like fun. :)

if you dont have a warranty, and you broke stuff that badly last time... dont do it, i wouldnt. i dont have snow, and there isnt really anything i can break in the rain like that, its a solid car.

Your situation was either a freak accident (defective axle), or you pushed the car too hard in the wrong conditions. If one wheel caught traction while you were giving it more and more gas the shock could possibly break something along the drive train. But I have never heard you incident happen to anyone else. You need a good few inches of snow on the ground to really pull it off "safely".

Also I'd suggest only doing spins like these once or twice, if at all. Any more than that and you'll probably blow your powersteering pump. It has to work extremely hard when you gun the throttle and have the wheel turned to full lock.
