[Blackbirdws6]

Nice work. You have another 10 bolt laying around to go in dont you?

[Teds89IROC]

Nice! :lol:

[NJ346]

Nice work. You have another 10 bolt laying around to go in dont you?

yea from a LT1 car.

The car is back up and running, just without abs or tcs because Lt1's suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The reluctor wheel on the lt1 axles are bigger than the ls1 so its good enough to get the car up and running, but I'll need to find a Ls1 4 channel axle.

[procamaroz28]

daimm!!

[NJ346]

This is how far the car made it after it broke:

....and what is the name of that drag strip??? location??:wink:

[sweetbmxrider]

thats your private street, right vin? or is that atco?

[ib4200]

haha. maybe his line lock got turned on somhow when he stopped to wait for some animals to cross the road and he didnt realize it until the tires were spinning. sonds logical to me..

[Formulalt1]

Maybe he is a red blooded male with a muscle car that can break the tires loose, can't say I know of a single person with a quick car that never did a burnout on a open road. It might not always be the right thing to do but who is perfect.

[NJ346]

hardly any of those marks are from me. It's just a good spot with a lot of rubber from the locals and i wanted to see how good the car would hook at the track so I took it to the "track" to learn how to launch the car without bogging. The monster clutch made the axle snap because of a 5K rpm clutch dump.

Btw- I was not street racing. I was the only one on that road and datalogging the car because it's the safest place to do it besides heading down to atco like I had planned on doing at night.

[69BirdX]

Breaking the tires loose would of saved that axle

[Formulalt1]

Good point, my bad :wink:

Suprised this thread didn't get locked due to "illegal activities"...haha....well Vin...atleast we got the damn thing back together so you can drive it tomorrow...still gotta get out testing with Rob and Ant....we gotta start working on left lane now....we know the right one hooks!

[Jersey_TA]

Man Vin, that SUCKS. :(

[MonmouthCtyAntz]

That sux man!

[Zero4488]

I knew I should have grabbed my camera....that launch on video would have been priceless....

[alamantia]

c-clip eliminators would have prevented that?

[NJ Torque]

c-clip eliminators would have prevented that?

[NJ346]

wonder if jb weld could fix it? :D

[//<86TA>\\]

na, use mighty putty!

[WildBillyT]

If you are referring to my post, that's not what I meant. C-Clip eliminators (as I'm sure you know) are used as a secondary form of axle retention in case you break an axle shaft. In his case it's a good idea to think about a set- or 9" housing ends. Disc brake calipers can hold an axle in but not in every case.

[alamantia]

i see what you mean now, you mean because of this comon problem c-clip eliminators were developed.

while it would of helped....there was no way I was going to drive home on a broken axle and tear up what was left of the 10 bolt just to save a tow truck ride. THe caliper held it in and I was able to do a u turn with it after I was dropped off the truck and drove it right into the garage.

Yup.

NETS, I didn't mean you would actually drive on it. Far from it. I meant that since you snapped one 10 bolt axle shaft I'm sure you can snap another.

[NJ346]

haha...still contemplating on if I'm gonna go. I dont feel like changing the tires and don't have any other cars to borrow if I blow it up again tonight.

[deadtrend1]

:rofl:

[bubba428]

$65 hook up = $4.00 per mile $50 out of area fee...so that about $300...just an option lol

[NJ346]

Well I put 4.10s in it last night...got the ls1 axles so I got tcs and abs back....took it to the track tonight...and wore some holes in the carrier....new carrier goes in tomorrow....then ordering a 9in sooner or later.

[Ispooledurmom]

Jb weld all the way!
get a 9 inch if u got the cash
