Snapped my first axle.
 

So I go to the weekly car meet tonight.
Last weekend in germany, I'm going to make a lot of noise..

So I decide I want to spin the wheels.
Rev to 6 grand in first, drop the clutch. I feel the car jerk. Nothing happens.

Car won't move under it's own power.


jack the car up, sure enough, axle snapped. grease is everywhere.

FML

I'm supposed to ship the car back to the United States on Wednesday.. To a parts yard I go!!

KY Stg3 clutch is working LOL :D TVS is working! LOL

I'll put up pictures tomorrow.



I thought it was the transmission at first, it spewed grease on the ground and I thought it was transmission fluid, just grease.

Dam man thats not good.

Don't rev to 6 grand and drop the clutch with a stg3, and 100+hp over stock. LOL

Probably not your smartest idea...oh well.'wish I had an axle for you.

:r: smart idea :r:

Huge face palm.

Just means i'm putting down decent power :) And the stg3 clutch is doing what it's meant to do. LOL

Overnight parts from Japan

Yes since some ppl give up and part out. I don't really mean it but makes me laugh when I call dibs even when whatever broke is not serious.. :lol:

I got a set of the 1mm bigger lsj axles in my trunk that i bought from napa. Im launching my car alot harder now just trying to see what the stock axles will take. So far I havent had the same out come as you.... yet lol. If i dont break them before the track next month i will just swap them out.
