jesus... that is painful to watch if that's an axle breaking. I wonder what he has done to the car to break it on a launch.

STi489 · 08-06-2006, 08:43 PM

dunno but its not the 1st i have seen...i saw a young kid race about 4 cars ..and on the 5th car it broke

jason bouchard · 08-06-2006, 08:44 PM

umm no look at rims and brakes...its STi with wrx wing.. you can also see the seats/front scoop

you have 06 with new transfer ratio..isn't it like 50/50 now?

repost

and last time they said it was the diff

BLUE STINGER · 08-06-2006, 08:50 PM

Ouch! I think that was a 6k+ dump.

He needs to learn how to slip the clutch and build boost off the dig.

***Digitalfiend*** · 08-06-2006, 08:50 PM

There is another video that goes with this where he does a couple near redline clutch-drops and I think a burnout. Then he tried to do another launch...

Meh, breaking axles suck but it's still better than breaking the tranny.

defffff repost, i posted it earlier

pt518sti · 08-06-2006, 09:21 PM

Sounded like a redline dump

Good lesson on 'NEVER dump the clutch 101'.

IMO he needs to get his STi repo'd.

jason bouchard · 08-07-2006, 04:47 PM

wtf, most people who race there sti drop at close to redline, ive never seen someone break and axle on an sti dropping at redline . . i do it and pull low 1.7 60'
here is a vid of me launching i think at around 6500 and dumping it

could be the tq split on 06...41/59?

SiCkSTi04 · 08-07-2006, 06:04 PM

this is the second part of the owner burnering out all 4 tires, i'm pretty sure he was reving it really high in order to spin all the wheels
