Default PWNED by new ecu =(

So my gsr motor has weird timing so i took it to my buddy and he reverted everything back to stock for me. After the freshly stock settings were added to my ecu, i went for a test drive. 1st gear felt nice, so i punched it at around 4000 in 1st. Vtec kicks in hard, then i shifted into second at around 7500. No tires chirping and i thought to myself wth? All of a sudden the car doesnt grab the power and the revs go all the way up to the rev limiter. I coast the car for a little bit thinking that i just misshifted badly. But it turns out this is the reason why it didnt grab



damn axles gave away!

What a mess. Slap on a new axle and you are good to go.

It probably is that high. Either way, if a thief really wants your car and knows what he is doing, a broken axle won't even slow him down.

i hope he doesnt do either
