As I was leaving the towie just rocked up so I didn't feel so bad for leaving when I did.If it makes you feel any better, my flex plate has seen better days and it decided to make some noises during a cruise on Sunday... so mines out of action now as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had mine fixed and its no major lob. I was lucky enough to get it done under warranty, and even Fraud had it fixed within a couple of hours.

Posted 28/04/10 01:47 AM Share Posted 28/04/10 01:47 AM (edited) no pics unfortunatly, didnt get car on the hoist while it was there. was twisted, to the point nothing is reusable and was lucky that didnt damage anything else. worse off than simons ute running over 500rwkw last track day.no tailshaft loop but am going to get one done asap. lucky it snapped on the line. was only a soft launch... about 2700ish and 5psi is where it let go. I managed to get one 3psi launch prior to that an ran a 11.53 @ 127 1.91 60'prior runs on wednesday nights where I ran mid 11s I only had 9-12psi due to a boost leak... I was hopeing for a low 11 with a good launch, but obviously broke it trying to get a good launch.not gonna replace with stock as I am gonna screw more power into it so would be a silly thing to do as it will only just break again.Mikey saw it, was in a bad way from front to back....moarrrrrr boost Edited 28/04/10 02:01 AM by djkice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyplums Member 1,080 Member For: 16y 6m 24d Gender: Male Posted 28/04/10 02:02 AM Share Posted 28/04/10 02:02 AM soft launch of 2700 wow, I was only stalling to about 2200-2300, got scared to go any higher, I did one at 2500 and it tramped hard and I thought I was going to break stuff. might see you down at final drive then hey, taking my hq down there tomorrow.
