thats good hah.. well i dont mean the car breaking but your job on the video thats was pretty awsome.
at least it is only an axle and not something internal.
i dig the in-car videos.

...man, i heard the sound and didn't even have to wait for the text. the sound of an axle breaking is unmistakable. big bummer, but if you ain't breaking stuff, you ain't racing hard. good luck getting it fixed in time.

Dang Lou, that's a bummer. Since you need to replace the axle, might as well go turbo! Good luck |

thanks for the compliments,
i cleaned my window and bumped my shift light adjuster knob to 8,000 rpm, you'll notice it never came on, hence the valve float.
i just walked in from the garage, and i am officially FIXED! i removed the diff and fixed without taking the engine or transmission out of the car!!
i just might be turbo next year ...we'll have to see.

Triple beam? Yeah there is the problem. Thought I told you they had to be cut by the quadruple beam, ion gas powered, triple wrapped, 4 on the floor, front drive sphintospectometer. That is the only thing that will cut those top secret, ultra rare, zero gravity, Kryptonite pushrods Any other type machine will leave a 45* taper in the middle. Definitely causes axle breakage with any taper beyond 40*....... Seriously though, you got nice ride going on there.......  |
