How long did you really think your box was going to last at that power. Didn't your tuner advise you of the possibilities of what may happen to your drive-train at that power.

I'm pretty sure Matt was aware of this also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vevapower Waiting for the 1st N/A 12! Donating Members 2,533 Member For: 17y 12d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 05/12/11 12:27 PM Author Share Posted 05/12/11 12:27 PM (edited) Have you got a photo of the fracture face. How long did you really think your box was going to last at that power. Didn't your tuner advise you of the possibilities of what may happen to your drive-train at that power.Actually we thought the box would last a lot longer than that and I beleive it would have, had it not done that evil kick down from 3rd to 2nd at the point that it did!I know now not to wind on 3rd and mash the pedal so as I mentioned before I'll stick with the stock input and box till March and then build it.Oh and I'll try and get a pic of the face for you tomorrow.

Looks like there might not be a proper radius where they all break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still sends shivers down my spine, because I have a ZF and dont want to hear that in mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like there might not be a proper radius where they all break. That has always made me curious how it twists and twists but when it breaks it's a dead clean cut.
