This is the 2nd go around that being dumped has caused my car some pain.....

The Culprit.....


Having fun with said culprit.


Result of the confrontation.


Who needs the axle boot anyways?


@least I won't have to worry about rust with all that axle grease strewn about!



Back in her glory days before the front was all mangled from running over dead deer and crank pulleys.... :-(

It's all part of being low man...the car wasn't made to be that low. If you're going to keep it like that, deal with the consequences.

You are going to clean the grease off, right?

When it happened I had no idea what it was, just glad it wasnt the oil pan or tranny case.

Agreed! Grease is staying as of right now, it was 20 degrees outside when I was doing it and grease removal wasnt too high on my list of to do's. Gotta do an oil change in a cpl of days in a nice heated garage, ill address it then.

Suck isnt the word, but as they say...go low or go home. She sits like that year round even though I'm on coilovers. I've ran over **** before like rabbits, woodchucks, chunks of ice etc...but never anything so non-forgiving. Oh well....NEXT!

No sir....im willing to deal with the consequences of being dumped. Traversing crank pulleys isnt exactly a daily affair. Ive logged over 150K @ this height and I'm not gonna change now.

If you rack up almost 209K in a parking lot.....thats some balla *** ****! Ive racked up those miles in only 8 and half years on the road. If that isnt usage, IDK what is.

if you honestly LOVE being low then dont complain. I dont think i have complained once . .

well maybe when I had my EF and went through 6 oil pans in less than a year.

**** FLA Roads.


BUT going through soo many oil pans made me invent this

Not really complaining....this was just so random it bugged me out. Big potholes...ok, raised ruts in the road...ok, random chunks of metal that fell off of someones car not so ok. I've only blown out one oil pan in the lifespan of the car & that was about 4-5 years ago. I guess I was due...:-P

I just scraped the resonator on my brand new Apexi WS2 exhaust 4 times the other day going into and leaving my school parking garage. Exhaust wasn't even on my car for a full week yet.
