Default broken axles :(

Ever see both axles break? I pulled it off somehow, by the 1/8 mile it was coasting. Didn't think it was possible without a spool.

Its still possible, even though you didnt have a spool..Once the first axel broke all the power shifts to the other axel..Atleast you and the car are ok!!

The car tried to do an instant lane change when they snapped. I was pretty violent.

They're fidanza axles, got em from jegs a couple years ago when they had em on sale. Rated for 300hp, i've got about 4000 hard miles on em at 400+.

fidanza makes a better axle now, a freind bought a set, and the next week the shop said fidanza called and wanted the old set he just sold back, that they would send out the new improved set..about last october maybe...

a freind of mine said he went to titan, and next door was a set of rental storage buildings...one had a guy inside painting oem axles green, with a big gator logo banner hanging in the back

Figured it would be a good idea to check the clutch while the transmission is out of the car. I'm totally confused:

Cant remember the last time I adjusted the clutch cable. That's probably why it was slipping.
