is there supposed to be a video link or something? :confused:

[BlitZ]

what mods has he got? kinda want an guestimate of what i should be aiming at

[tinkerbell]

did it axle tramp off the line then break or did he just dump too high?

did the actual shaft break or the CV joint shatter???

[Non Vtec]

I'm in the same boat as Tinkerbell, where did the axle break and how??
Try higher tyre pressures or launching even higher, wheel spin doesn't break axles, traction does...

[EG5]

No way the actual shaft break that easy.
Its more into the cv joint assembly that break in pieces.

[bennjamin]

thats Leighs car yeah ? eg crx with advan wheels ?

bad luck -

[TwistedGurl]

yeah, that was Ly.

i think he told me he dumped it at 8000!!! omg!

his got it all fixed and will be there this wednesday.

so i hope he does beta...and that i dont get a phone call from him saying that he broke something else! heheheee
