I whooped his ***!


Yeah I wish. We were on our way to race and I did a quick 40 roll with my buddy in his stock 96 cobra. Got up to about 105 and had 2 cars oh him then BANG!!! not sure what exactly happened but the rear of my trans is in pieces, I'm missing a ujoint, and one of the joint caps is stuck in my floor board.

Greedy, it was definitely nice meeting you. I really feel bad for you man. I hope you'll have the car up and running soon.

Another time maybe.

got it home and jacked up. I need a whole trans. I'm guessing what happened is one of the clips holding the ujoint in gave out(I just put new ujoints in 3 days ago but I know they were all in the slot before i put it back together). one of the caps is embedded in my floor board, almost made it thru to my buddies leg it looks like. when that came apart it broke the rear trans housing, output shaft, and the yoke. here's some pics and a vid from behind in mrt's car:

You know it just occurred to me that it was a good thing that i wasn't closer behind you guys, as i might have ate some nice metal chunks lol.

yeah it sucks. the worst part is it's my dd so i had to borrow a car to get to work and i hate doing that. but I found a used one I'm gonna pick up tomorrow after work, then throw a rebuild in with upgraded clutches and a few other little things, it'll be mildly built.
