Bad luck dude^^^^

I made a sub box for little extra bass. I wanted it discret so I used my spare tire hole.

93 Festi with B6T & G25mr
I broke way to many things this weekend. The clutch overheated Saturday and started slipping pretty bad in 3rd & 4th, so I had to shift less and be gentle on the throttle. The cv boot ripped open, and we patched it that night with crazy glue and silcone tape. The nut on the top of the front strut rattled off, broke the strut, and we swapped in a new assembly at the track, then later aligned it as I somehow gained 1.25 inches of toe out. A tire blew out, with two studs ripping out, and I spun into a snow bank. I put on a spare. The wire to the alternator burned away by 3 inches, the post on the alternator arced into vapour and the alternator internals won't spin right anymore. At some point the battery quit and I drifted off to a stop. We swapped in a Festi alternator and fixed the wiring, and taped up the cv boot. One or two wins, I lost track. My thanks to Hiroki and Terry for all their help.

Then on Sunday it popped out of third 3 times in 30 seconds, started spewing oil from the main front seal or the dip stick (not sure yet) and lost spark, cruising to a halt, after winning 3 races with a slipping clutch. We pushed it back onto the trailer, and called the weekend a victory. But there sure is a lot of work to do before it ice races again. Such is racing.

indeed........lol

[Movin]

really racing, and temporarily suck, haha.......

[Damkid]

Well mine tends to break because of my hydro-to-cable adapter I made, still ironing out the kinks I guess lol

[Darlo]

How does one even do that if they know how to drive, lol....... I guess if you are really racing, and temporarily suck, haha.....:nono:..

[Damkid]

lol got that right, i've broken more cables then i'd like to admit lol

[shadetree]

[gauge_half_inch]

That's strange to break a clutch cable on a stock-ish setup

You would know. Lol

Ugh. I'd LOVE to get a towing setup going.... I'm just worried with how rusty the frame is. All I want is a PIANO!!!!

[Movin]

First time towing, got back late, yea it was fun!!!
Might have to lift the trailer too! Almost looks
like the car needs 20 rims!!
Tomorrow I do a little more to the front to level
it out. It tows so nice, I don't know anything is
back there, The big turbo diesels cannot keep
up climbing in the mountains, this thing hammers
corners with the trailer on like a rally racer !???
It shouldn't be so fun...I feel like I'm baiting the
the big dogs then leaving them in the snow dust
cause they can't drag those huge trailers through
the corners, not even close, man I mean one minute
they are in my mirrors, 2 corners later the road is all
mine!!! Bullydog did them a lot of good ha ha !!
