What did you break today?

This is my favourite thread. I love destruction.

Road washed out. So much rain here!

Man, what an eventful wkend. Finally got parts from Jenny's & got the typhon up and running. Got a couple packs thru it just before dark. The weather finally let up this afternoon for a bit & took her out on some cheapo tires that I had glued myself. The 1st one blew off in about 5 minutes, went in & grabbed the other pair that I had glued w/ the 1st pair. Blew the foam like 25' in the air on the 1st throttle pull! It was quite spectacular in all honesty. Not really sure if it was caused by my crappy glue job? Went back in & put on the jetko set. They performed beautifully although I took a collision to the shin which actually broke the skin & the shock rod end! Insult to injury

You need to be careful with these mini missles. You're lucky you only got scarred. I know sometimes it's impossible to react, but you need to be aware and try to avoid it coming at you at all costs. This said by the guy who intentionally gets in front of them to get good video clips

Broke it yesterday. Fixed it, and a driveshaft popped out. I fixed that, and I drained the battery for the first time in months

Pinion seized onto shaft, grub screw rounded out completely

Didn't realise this until I pulled the diffs to replace the diff fluid. This is the aftermath of a very high speed head on collision with a big lump of concrete. Car still ran for an hour afterwards with no indication there was any damage. Have ordered a replacement from Jennys.

Edit to add: I took the red plate out and hit it with a hammer. Nice and straight now, will get me through to when the Jenny's order arrives.

So far from what I see.
Bent "7075" shock tower.
1 broken shock standoff.
1 broken shock rod end.
1 broken rod end on the camber link.
1 broken bulkhead.
Sway bar pulled out of end link.
A arm looks fine.

Where'd you get those shock boot/cover thingies?

 

[slick2500]

Where'd you get those shock boot/cover thingies?

eBay @MacsCDP sells them. They are Deadpool. My only complaint is getting them to stay straight when you are putting the springs on the shocks is a bit tedious but not too bad.

As I know you know the exb standoffs are utter garbage. I've also broken these and the m2c ones. User error. Drill & tap the std ones out to m4 and use a m4 12.9 cap head. Cheap, super stout and easy to just replace the pin.

@Woodentop ... Great advice I can't believe I have never thought of doing this..!!!
Scorched are a similar two piece design but in titanium, I've lost count of the amount of bent M2C ones I own...




I'm off to me workshop now, as I've got some drilling to do..

Whence broke mine I was looking at the scorched ones and thought I'll just do that with the std ones. Std ones are plenty strong enough with a 4mm set up and.........I've got hundreds of them.
