I am 28, I just spent NZD5,000 on my clutch package, I bought a stronger unit so I can get away with more punishment.

If he is asking... he wants to know how to so he can. You have to learn somehow if you want to!

Thank you NZ!
I spent the money on the car, I'll spend the money on the clutch/axle/cvs, I don't care.
I want to learn how to do this for myself.

Joe,

Before I start doing the doughnuts, do you know if turning right and accelerating, or turning left and accelerating causes the #2 rod bearing failure?

Thanks

Dude, no one knows what causes it... wear and tear! People have thought about this for years, basically, maintain your car well, replace them if you are ever down there... and live life. You dont not go to "Hooters" because you may get shot by the postman who is having a bad day. .

Turning and doing a donut or a drift or a 1/4 run is not going to specifically result in a #2 bearing failure. If its going to go it will when it likes. Sure doing fun stuff puts more strain on... part of life!

Well that make not even help! Just make sure its not low if anything. I filled my oil to just above the max, barely... and 300ml went into my catch can!

Do a search, learn. Learning is fun.

Thanks, NZ. The "bitch" is my girlfriend of 2 1/2 years.

89Porsche-

This has been a huge debate for years. You can search and read tons of threads and you will find all kinds of hypotheses about what causes the #2 to go. I can't definitively tell you why it happens. But I can tell you that you dont have alot of G forces while doing doughnuts, since you have relatively low adhesion. I think you will be ok.
