yeah, i dont give a **** what u do to your car. set it on fire for all I care (plz take video). however my other concern is you might be unsafe to drive on the road until ur done. i pray u dont kill someone.

also, how bout not taking pot shots at our military forces. im personally not in the military, but I do take offense to it. I could be wrong, but i dont think anyone provoked the military comments to start?

and lastly, just out of curiosity, a lot of people have made the statement, and you really havent come back with anything. why not airbags? I feel like if u just saved some bread you could do that and be a little easier too. whats your opposition to this?

 

great job pro charging a saturn and still running 14's. LOL

 

Lol oh man, you must have no real friends.

 

lol dude.. i ran 14's with a totally blown suspension.. i should've been pulling mid 13's... you happen to look at my 60 fts? of 2.5 and 2.4? i guess not not to mention seriously you took the time out to look at my other posts and find out i ran a 14? lol it's no where in my sig hell i dont even think it's in the official 1/4 thread... you really have no life do you

what do you run at the track? since you apparently care about 1/4 mile times so much. sounds about right since you love breaking axles so much

great job cutting your springs like a ricer and breaking your axles and still not spending the money to do it right

 

I will beat a stock t/c, haven't had this setup on a track.

 

Maybe.

 

been done lots of times. I have witnesses.

I just love how econo car boy is talking about how he doesn't care about 1/4 mile time when he pro charged it. He's just as half assed as I am lol. I've seen some hypocrites in my day, but boy you are one hippie critter.

 

dude.. i have already beaten stock t/cs and stayed even with a tuned tc.. whats your point.. i have them on video but the guy with the tc never gave them to me .. but i could care less I know how fast my car is ... just because i didnt do it on the track doesnt mean ****.. t shows i cant launch the car/ my suspension was totally blown...

 

I admit I haven't read this whole thread but I think I've read enough to put in my own two cents.

I believe in logic. You are going to these extremes to change the APPEARANCE of your car. RIGHT??? Sometimes LOOKS and PERFORMANCE don't work well together. In this case you have to travel down ONE path or the other. Which path will you chose??? LOOKS that don't work with driving agressively, as proven by the broken parts, and drive like a little, white haired old lady on the way to Church??? Or DRIVING agressively like Mario Andretti, which obviously doesn't work with the modifications you have made to the LOOKS of your car, and driving the car on mountain roads like you stole it???

I really think you're going to have to agonize over this choice. Go pretty ??? and not complain about replacing your axles every now and then AND chancing much more destruction. $$$ OR Go fast and not complain complain about replacing your axles every now and then AND chancing much more destruction. $$$ Try to do both and you will DOUBLE your chances of the above. $$$$$$

I hope you have deep pockets.

These thoughts are only MY personal opinions.

 

WELL, I really appreciate your opinion! Thank you for cooling down this thread it was giving me a headache.

on that note, I did mention low and slow and stuff like that. I am going to baby the thing, and coilovers are not out of the question. I did the spring chop to get the look, now I like it so much I refuse to put my drop springs back on. josh at ottp did mention the rotated mounts are NOT made to accomodate a drop. they are for performance, BUT I think what happened is the trans mount broke first causing the axle to break. I know a few people running about this low, even bagged cobalts don't have this issue. I've been researching the hell out of this and I am confident on the subject now. If I do break more axles, I have a huge discount on moog axles since I work in a shop. The first thing that breaks I will start a stock pile.

 

A decent fabrication shop could probably relocate your rear and side mounts higher with some spacers and welding. You'll pull the rear of the engine and transaxle towards the front of the car slightly, have em redrill the two top mounts. If you don't do any kind of drag racing or spirited driving, which I'm guessing would be hard to do in the first place with a car that low, it should last a while. A decent shop shouldn't have much problem doing this, might cost you a few bucks though.

I heard procharged cars are slow.

 

The air bags have the right suspension spring and dampening rates, as to which cut springs do not... which is why you had the problem, and they didnt...

not bein an ass, juss sayin..

 

^also very useful I was considering that as well. thank you!

 

yes we are

 

it's cool man! nothing wrong with being slow!

 

What do you know? yo....
Great thread. How someone doesnt mind grenading the axles with a ghetto rig setup like this out on the highway (just to look "dope") is pretty nuts

 

There's an axle shop in NC that will make you anything you want in the way of axles, if he doesn't already have something in stock. He makes a lot of weird ****. He made axles for me for my 88 Fiero/LS1 swap after I broke two axles on the same side, seperate events. He guarantees my axles to 800HP. The guy's name is Frank. He's a busy guy but will talk to you to get the info he needs to be able to build what YOU need. He may also be able to give you some ideas on exactly why you are having the problem and recommend something else that might work for less $. He AIN'T cheap but you'll never need to buy axles again. The only real problem here is "the weak link". Using an axle that WON'T break in the drive line takes away the safety factor of that link. If the axle IS the real problem, by breaking it may be protecting something else in the drive line like the trans internals, trans mounts, even the engine. Strange things can happen when an engine goes to the limiter in a micro second or two. Just things to think about as I have some experience on this subject.

Good luck.

wow for starters im just going to say....I dont fight in iraq, i fight in afghanistan. Like my last post stated. I love coming on here thinking you cant say anything more retarded then you come out with that.

Like you said many times..... you have to pay to play? umm ok? paying to playing would involve buying proper suspension.... not doing a home made mod and blowing your axles apart. Then you say you work on cars for a living. So you should know what would happen when you cut your springs. Holy **** man, what shop do you go to....i would be scared shitless to bring my car there.

I bet this was your buddy wasnt....both you and him have the same style and stupidity

First I'd like to say "Thank you Snakes709 for the service to your country". Everyone serving right now or even in the past deserve some thanks.

Second I'd like to say I would think you would be above the name calling and inconsideration of the other members of this forum and this thread. Wouldn't it be best to direct all that energy towards the bastard, camel ******* at the wrong end of your barrel?

You're not making your country proud for your actions and words here. The guy wants to play Russian roulette with his car? Let him. It should be no skin off your nose and nothing out of your pocket book. Start behaving like a soldier.

As for the other child. How would you like being in that tank with Snakes? You need some lessons in restraint also.

If you both can't act like the ADULTS I'm imagining you both are maybe you can start a separate thread and argue and throw insults to your hearts content. so the rest of us don't have to listen to you.

The moderator on this thread is as bad as the both of you for letting this **** continue.

Just MY thoughts.

 

Only Rustangs.

 

well since you are looking for "rubbing marks" on your axles, that even further validates our claim that you have absolutely no idea what clearances we're talking about

 

Shh.. you cant tell him hes wrong or he gets angry...

If only he got his info from vwvortex he might have the right idea...

 

i'm 16 and use my parents' money to buy cars and parts, are you jealous?

oh ok i understand now.... the only people that know what they're talking about, are vw owners? let me get my mommy's checkbook and go buy one asap!

a tanker's job is to kill as many people as possible before they themselve's are killed. I was a 19k too, and if i still had access to the tank i would run your junk car over so it had the super low customizery stance, heck, i'd even glue a VW emblem on the front slope of the tank so you thought it was a good idea to run it over
