Well................. I pulled a Vosko tonight
I was doing some 'spirited' driving today looking for cars to play with. as i drive past J&R, i see a black monte SS pull out ahead of me and do a lil fishtail trying to showoff.
me being me, i decide i'll play cool and just ease into the throttle a little just to keep up with him (dont want to embarass him just yet) so i shirt into second and EASE into the gas, and just before the car comes under boost i hear clunk POW!!!!!! bdump, bdump......... i try to pull to the side of the road and the pass side rear wheel locks up for a sec almost making me kiss a parked car. i finanny roll into a parking spot and sit there for a sec before seeing raindrops begin to fall, ****!!
anyway, something is broken, it sounds like an axle because as i was towning it home (damn shop is closed for vacation, and i was only 2 blocks from there!) i could hear and feel something slapping arround ocasionally. when i look under the car, i dont see any axle hanging though. it could be the tranny because it felt like an explosion in the tranny when it first happened, and i can feel weird grinding and other bad sounds through the shifter. but i think if i broke second gear, some other gear would work, but the car dosent move in any gear. mabye i broke a diff, but i dont see any fluid leakage under the car, and from what i've seen, most FD's that break diffs crack the diff case......
i have 4 extra stock axles, 2 spare stock diffs and one extra tranny, but i dont have the energy to fix this **** now!!! why the **** did i have to drive the damn car today?
should i even bother to change the axle if thats what broke or should i keep waiting on a friend in NJ (*cough* John *cough*) to get me the 300M axles i've been waiting on?
why the **** didn't mazda overbuild these cars like toyota did with every generation supra? you mean to tell me that in '90 during the design phase, nobody at mazda had any clue that people were gonna put motors into FD's that were making more than 225hp? mazda ******* pisses me off.......
