Broke something... Pics up.
 

Been wondering why my damn motor is torquing so much. I can visibly see the motor going up 2 or 3 inches when I drive because my WG sticks out of my hood a bit through a hole I cut out. Ive got energy inserts in too.

Noticed today that the passenger (trans) side mount bracket thats welded to the frame came apart from the frame. And some of the frame with it.

Fluxcored madness come monday. Gonna drop the motor, bang the bracket back onto the frame and weld the birdshit out of it.

Wish me luck. Pics will be up Monday.

Turbo D FTW.

Here are the pics. They are shitty as hell and make it look terrible, but it doesnt look so bad in person.
Wanted to get pics up of before and after but my camera battery was dead. Once I was done my pal lended me a battery lol.

Yea been doing a lot of launching on the street tires for fun, leaving strips. That type of ----.

Dont know if im mad about this. Its almost kinda funny.

Isn't one of the main causes of blown trannies wheel hop? Suspension setup?

Re: Broke something...
 

Well the trans is fine. Its the bracket thats welded to the frame that ripped off.

BTW I dont have any wheel hop unless its raining.

Traction bars, GC Coilovers and alignment done by me.
