    I'm sure his car was a beast.

    But he also mentioned at 60mph in third gear when he gunned it.
    The power destroyed an axle.

    How well would it accelerate off the line ya know...
    Running 40psi.....in my tires.

      I'm curious as to how he broke an axle when everyone else breaks transmissions. That doesn't make sense to me. He's the first one I can recall breaking an axle with excessive power instead of a transmission.

        I've broken an axle. It was drag strip tho. I can see breaking stock worn out axles.

            I dont know if Ill want to drag, but Im down to try. Now if you want to do some track days.....IM IN!!!
            As far as dyno, if I can find one here I will go to it. I know the shop down the street from my house closed, but Im glad because they were richard craniums.
            I had my datsun towed there to have them help with an issue. The shop owner promptly said "sorry buddy, this isn't a hobby shop, this is for real cars". I wanted to cave his face in but instead I took out my 3k in cash and counted it in front of him hahahahhaah.
            Anyways, its gonna be a slow build as I have two Z's in front of the festiva for build time. But it will happen, I made up my mind to fully build a B3 when I first bought Pepper.

              My bad. When I wrote the above as well as another I was unaware that it had happened to ya'll. All I had heard of was transmissions breaking.
              My apologies.

                Running 5psi would a turbo from a late 90s TDI vw be any good? MPG more than hot rod..

                  One axle, and nine transmissions. I just do not see how it broke while rolling in third? No shock
