That will learn you........ just kidding. Shitty deal! Never seen one blow up like that.

It was a real iffy night, occasional sprinkles, so they didn't prep the track at all. On top of that I forgot I had raised my tire pressure for a long trip last weekend. So when I launched it basically wheel hopped, but in the rear, really bad. I figured I'd just make a couple passes and work on my launch but that ended the night really fast.

Here's a vid of the launch, I didn't even have my helmet on as I wasn't planning on running hard down the track.

On a positive note, I was still able to drive home

sh!t Jason, that's wild! I assume you have spares and are probably already back on the road?

I wish lol. Though it is on the road, I pulled the axle apart and put the cups back in and am back in FWD mode for now. FWD dsm>subaru

Haha, figured you would be as fast as last time.
Well that works for now, how did you make it fwd?

Welded center diff.

Youza, sorry to hear :S

All my gears were locked up as I got to Stephen's because of a dead pressure plate. Luckily I got there on time, although the last couple of stops to his house were very iffy as none of my gears would select.



Only pic I was able to grab as the fixing didn't stop for a second...and is still ongoing with new/old issues (water leak...again)

Stephen's wizardry for the win!

Is that.. An XTD clutch?

Southbend, daily Stage 2.

Took a lil photoshoot last week...

Beautiful collection Dave

Always liked those two beauties since you posted them last time

Yeah very nice, definitely well maintained

Thanks guys !

Sorry to hear about the broken axle but on the other hand I am glad she got home without the need for a tow.
What was the pressure difference in tires that caused wheel hop?

When I got it:


Now:


I got it running since the picture so a couple more things are added, but still clean

Fenders are all done too, and primered ready for paint.

Tried my interior with Gloss Boss Por15 for the first time.











Apparently this product is discontinued and i am using bottle from their last batch. Thanks to Terry S. for sourcing it out for me.

Everything is going to be glossy on your car Alex

I've been notising more clean ending bays here lately, thought I might toss a current pic of mine into the mix.

Just a little update, I've fully switched to SD (thanks Stephen) stelthaly installed my ecmlink controlled meth kit, cranked up to boost to 30psi and powder coated a sh*t ton of parts (thanks Jay).

Enjoy

Do I spy a shaved 2g intake mani as well?

Yes sir

Every component that requires a boost source has its own fitting located at the back of the manifold... No sharing in my Bay lol

That engine bay is super clean and makes me jealous. Maybe one day.

I see you were too chicken to change your airbag I don't know what some people put in you head lol but I change Airbags almost every week, disconnect battery, wait a bit and your good to go. Just a fkn system, Especially on these older cars with 2 airbags not complicated.

Not yet but will be starting tomorrow June 9th



You forgot that I removed driver/passenger air bags from my old Spyder If i was afraid of airbags than i would probably left it in there and not swap passenger bags also

Think about it; my ownership is Chrysler/Eagle Talon but all the badging on the car is Mitsubishi. I didn't want to run into serious issues when going through visual ownership re-registration inspection in Cali. Having "eagle" badge on the steering wheel seemed like a good idea

Yeah eh. Glad that wasn't the problem. But yeah makes sense for ownership B/S

Back in AWD mode and on the prowl

Awesome pic Jason but....what took you so long

The mail

I finally finished wrapping my car. Matte pearl blue with a satin finish.

Looks good! That just vinyl wrap?

Awesome!

Yes vinyl wrap

Looks good Tim, look forward to seeing it in person.

Thanks Bryan. It took me forever. I did it myself

Looks nice Tim, what did that cost you?

Good colour choice too.

The guy down the street wrapped his yellow car with Carbon fiber and it turned out terrible because there is yellow peeking through all over the place.

Looks badass!

Indeed!

That looks really good Tim

Reza I bought a roll of blue for $325.
