How exactly did you do that? Is that the T-bone car?

ancient Chinese secret young one!

naw. take the four bolts that hold the cross member on, engine drops a bit. then undo the tiny brace right in front of the tranny ( 4 bolts) then the TT mount thats kinda hidden up under the tunnel, then some random suspension mount points at the rear. then the tranny cross brace and watch out! ( after disconnecting the engine from its life support systems)

pretty much did that to Josh's car-pulled the rear loose and it was all hanging on the motor- put a jack under the motor and pulled the bolts out- then dropped the jack and dropped the whole thing down on to some awaiting rollers.

When you dropped it was the torque tube ok or was it bent?

Yeah those torque tubes can take ridiculous abuse... *flashbacks to the worst wrenching experience ever*
