Default drag strip = broken axle, now with video!!

ok maybe some of you have read my last thread about breaking an axle at the drag strip. well turns out it was only a broken CV which cost 50 dollars to replace. anyway, here is the video of the broken CV on the launch.

the car i was racing was my friends RX-7. it was not a grudge match or anything, we were just there for times, to gauge our upgrade progress.

let me know if it doesn't work.

hell he needs to paint his entire car, but he has no money. in the video it looks like right after it broke (had it not broke) you would have left him in the dust

Sure, he can try it again right after he fixes it.

it is fixed already. i think i am going to be a little lighter on the launch next time=)

as for the hood being painted, all in due time. i need more body changed before i paint the entire car. such as 968 mirrors and 968 rear bumper and wing.

It's a bummer not to at least be able to get him on the loser fly-by.

Maybe instead of painting your car we could just swap hoods. My car is the reverse of yours, black car with a red hood.

Kevin, your video is reason #1 why you never race for pink slips.

LOL!

Well, it did look like you were going to school him until your CV went south for the winter.

What's done to his Turbo II? Anything?
